Quick picks for the main slate tonight, no full write up with NFL/CFB articles taking priority today.
Charlie Morton
Morton owns the Marlins and is our anchor SP1 tonight.
Luis Castillo
Only concern I have on Castillo is that it’s very warm out in St. Louis. I would rather take my chances with him against the Cardinals lineup than the other choices (Cease vs Boston & Buehler vs San Diego).
Brady Singer
Singer has had some issues with the Twins in the past, but this slate is really starved of cheap pitching. The Red Sox are using a rookie making his debut but I wouldn’t even go that low. Singer’s pitching much better utilizing a third pitch more recently.
Top Stacks
Atlanta Braves – Freeman is a must here, along with Ozzie (2B) and Joc Pederson as a good value OF, even though he is hitting 8th.
Seattle Mariners – Seager / Kelenic / Haniger
LA Dodgers – Corey Seager Primary Play
Contrarian Stack
New York Yankees vs Mets game stack … Like the narrative of 9/11 game in New York and lots of fireworks here. Taijuan Walker is likely to give up a HR to Giancarlo Stanton and/or Anthony Rizzo tonight, but I wouldn’t go one offs here. Play for the 7-5 game if stacking it up.
Favorite One offs
Alex Bregman – 3B – Houston
Andrew Benintendi – OF – Royals
Yasmani Grandal – C – White Sox
Corey Seager – SS – Dodgers
