I smell a no hitter coming. Might not be today, but one is coming. Happy Easter. Just the article for the MAIN Sunday slate and likely no notes for the afternoon slate or the showdown in Discord today but I really like the Padres tonight on SNB. Now for the question you have all been waiting for. Do we have Site Synchronicity on a Sunday? The odds are low with Texas and Colorado both having home games, and the answer is. But in a shocking plot twist, it’s FanDuel who has the Angels-Rangers game and not DraftKings. WEATHER Cold games today and the Tigers vs Royals is a PPD Risk, avoid it at all costs.

ZACK WHEELER Wheeler faced 19 batters in his debut vs the Mets and simply has to pitch well around his sins to Jesus Aguilar today and he’ll finish in the upper 17-19 DK FPTS range without even breaking a sweat. NESTOR CORTES A lot is being made already about Camden Yards not giving up HR with the wall change and I would like to remind you that it’s the middle of April and they are in Baltimore, Maryland. Of course the ball isnt flying out of there every single game, not to mention the Yankees and Brewers aren’t what people think they could be. Either way though, the park is definitely better for LHP now and with the cold weather and the Orioles lineup we can look at Cortes for 5+ IP and potentially a 7 K game. The O’s are looking to take more pitches this year but his command should be on. …...
