So if you are reading this close to lock and want a Full Slate, you need to head over to FanDuel which includes:
- Orioles at Athletics
- Rays at Cubs
- Yankees at Tigers
- Angels at Astros
- Cardinals at Marlins
DraftKings has just 5 games on it
- D’Backs at Nationals
- Blue Jays at Red Sox
- Giants at Mets
- Twins at Royals
- Rangers at Mariners

WEATHER
No issues, all games should play fine but the Rays-Cubs moved theirs up because of weather, however they intend to get it in.

This is another slate where one can justify just going up top and shooting for a 50 point combination between the top two guys.
CARLOS RODON (DK/FD)
Rare that a Giants pitcher gets a nice park shift, but Rodon has that and both lineups are coming off a double header yesterday, so we’re back to 2019 type theories when we believed that double headers which are 9 games result in lower scoring games the following day.
CHRIS BASSITT (DK)
Every week I will be looking at the hound dog on his way to leading the Mets starting pitching in Wins this year. With the reduced slate on DraftKings today we’re down to looking at game stack SP options and the SF-NYM game is an ideal one where both guys should get through 6 IP with limited damage.
SANDY ALCANTARA (FD)
Sandy is always better at home, so on FanDuel he is definitely in play against ‘technically’ his former team in the Cardinals. St. Louis is a RH heavy team and Sandy generally manages RH bats just fine.

RED SOX
Xander Bogaerts, Alex Verdugo, Rafael Devers
Boston will be honoring long time broadcaster and player Jerry Remy tonight. It should be emotional there and then they get to smack around Jose “I hate the Cold” Berrios.
ROYALS
Bobby Witt Jr, Whit Merrifield, Andrew Benintendi
If Kansas City is good at one thing, it’s coming out of nowhere to win quiet mid week DFS slates. Chris Paddack is a limited pitch guy who doesn’t really get whiffs with anything that breaks so the Royals should be able to tee off on him tonight for lots of long innings.
RANGERS / MARINERS
Corey Seager, Brad Miller
Julio Rodriguez, Jarred Kelenic
The roof is going to be closed in Seattle but if anything that keeps some cold air hopefully out. I like Logan Gilbert a lot but he’ll give up 2 HR tonight to Rangers lefties and the Mariners young kids should hit Dane Dunning (young H beats Young P)
