This is breaking down the Afternoon slate, which is kind of the best slate today. White Sox vs Twins Brewers vs Phillies Rangers vs Athletics Cardinals vs Reds Blue Jays vs Astros Red Sox vs Rays (FanDuel Only) Zack Wheeler The guy in the graphic above is coming off a bad start but is also forgiven because he is still working through things early in the season. Milwaukee in an afternoon game at home is a massive cure spot for Wheeler to go bananas today. Do not fade. Martin Perez Perez is just what we need as an SP2 on this short slate. He draws a bad offense, is pretty dirt cheap and should win vs the Athletics.

PHILLIES Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, Rhys Hoskins Houser throws his sinker 60% of the time to lefties and they smash it. Harper and Schwarber will be very happy to see that and Rhys Hoskins says hey, I am the king of the Saturday Club today boys!
