After messing up big time yesterday, FanDuel receives the gold star today for proper slate construction as they have included the 6:35 Nationals-Pirates game and the 6:40 Phillies-Marlins game. Unfortunately, neither site has the Cardinals visiting Miller Park so we will just save that annual stack tradition for tomorrow. [spacer height=”20px”] WEATHER All clear. Every game should play without any concerns and I expect some roofs to be open tonight Phillies at Marlins – Mid 70’s, roof should be open Angels at Rangers – Mid 70’s, roof should be open, no major wind warnings Only 64 in LA for the Dodgers first home series of the season Upper 50’s in Coors Field, cross wind to right field. [spacer height=”20px”] WALKER BUEHLER The Reds should feature a lineup with more RH than LH bats tonight, which will greatly help Buehler out. He is very consistent with a 28%+ strikeout rate to RH batters, has a very high arsenal rating tonight vs the Reds lineup and is about as consistent as they come when at home in Dodger Stadium JOE MUSGROVE The price on Musgrove on DK should make him a little chalky at just $7,600 so there’s a strong case to be made for Charlie Morton in the same game at likely lower ownership given his price tag but Musgrove is a solid PETCO Park pitcher and Atlanta’s not clicking every game right now so they’re very boom or bust and I’ll err on the side of lots of bust in their first road trip. LUIS SEVERINO This is my wild card pick tonight. Toronto got a 3 HR game from Who’s your Vladdy last night but lost Teoscar Hernandez in the process and this is still a lineup that can have a high strikeout game when faced with a talented arm. Sevy historically was really dominant vs RH bats as well and that’s pretty much the entire build of this Toronto lineup. He should remain limited on pitch count but makes for a nice SP2 on DraftKings given that nobody else will throw more than 90-95 pitches, so his price discount takes into account the pitch difference from everyone else. He is safe to use.

The pitching is dominating…...
