WEATHER
Some games could have some light showers in them tonight but I would expect everything to try and find a way to play this close to the end of the season.
Zack Wheeler
Considering the volume that Baltimore will strike out, getting Wheeler for under $11.5k tonight seems like a steal (he is $10.4 on DK).
Corey Kluber
So this guy here is most certainly not dead and we will not be crossing him off our list tonight. Yeah, he pitched a no hitter earlier this season against the team he had a cup of coffee with a year ago and boy that feels like an eternity ago now. Klubot got stretched out to 6 innings in his last start and is going to critical to get the Yankees another win tonight against Texas.
Ian Anderson
There’s risk with Anderson given that when he isn’t able to keep the ball on the ground this year it tends to leave the park and the roof should be open again in Arizona boosting the carry on the ball. That said, his Change-Up has been arguably his most reliable pitch the past two seasons and is a good threat to attack the D’Backs top overall hitters. If he can keep Ketel Marte in the park then Anderson can have a really good outing tonight.
CARDINALS
Goldy, Arenado, Bader
A very good lineup against LHP the back half of this season gets a sinker-baller to boot. Love the match-up for Goldy/Arenado specifically who should be extremely excited to see Brett Anderson today considering they absolutely own him.
RED SOX
Bogaerts, Devers, JD Martinez
The BoSox continue to hit much better and are a very dangerous team right now. Temps are good in Fenway tonight with decent humidity as well and Taijuan Walker has given up 16 HR to RH batters on the season a pretty good ratio to attack with a heating up Xander Bogaerts and JD Martinez specifically.
Giants vs Padres
Two whipping boy pitchers on the mound tonight with Kazmir facing off against Velasquez. Would it not be the most Vinnie Velasquez thing in the world for him to suddenly become good pitching out in PETCO Park? It seems every pitcher that has come before him and pitches in PETCO park as a Padres pitcher winds up pulling magic out of their hats and pitching decently. The side to focus on might be the awakened Padres lineup — led by Manny Machado and while his DFS price is costly tonight, Fernando Tatis is about as sure of a thing to hit 2 HR as I can think of today.
CATCHER
Yadier Molina – With so many other good options on the Cardinals lets not overlook the RBI Machine that is Yadier Molina tonight.
Travis d’Arnaud
James McCann
FIRST BASE
If you are a FanDuel player, then I don’t see how you aren’t starting your lineup with both Freeman and Goldschmidt and then asking FanDuel why they haven’t paid out your winnings yet tonight.
Freddie Freeman
Paul Goldschmidt
SECOND BASE
DJ LeMahieu
Enrique Hernandez – Also known as Kike
Luis Arraez – Good value leading off, as Kyle Hendricks has been a roller coaster at home and Arraez is not going to strike out and isn’t someone that is affected by heavy winds.
THIRD BASE
Nolan Arenado
Rafael Devers
Manny Machado – I have to give credit to Manny. He ripped Tatis a new one and then stood up in front of reporters to address the situation with Nando, then proceeded to smack two homers last night before ending the game on a DP. That’s what leaders do and so buying into him tonight makes a lot of sense vs Kazmir.
SHORTSTOP
Xander Bogaerts
Corey Seager
Willy Adames – Good value for Milwaukee
Gleyber Torres – Another good value one off tonight.
