Both sites have a 6 game evening/Main slate which includes G2 of the Brewers-Cubs Double Header. [spacer height=”20px”] WEATHER All games play without issue. Roof projected OPEN in Chase Field and TBD in Texas.

DAVID PETERSON The Mets could use some length from Peterson today and the Nationals won’t strike out a ton against him but his 51% ground ball rate is 2nd highest on the slate to Aaron Ashby who is also a viable SP2 but will have some windy conditions in Wrigley to deal with.

Given the price and how well Arizona has been this month I trust stacking them with Boston over other spots. GOOD WEATHER, GOOD PARK, BAD SP The Boston Red Sox Xander, Devers, Verdugo, Story I have this theory that the Red Sox at home are always the play on a Holiday and this concludes the 5th game of a long rare extended series, which means if they get into the bullpen they will continue to pile things on. Boston has scored 7 or more runs in 6 of their last 7 games and has hit double digits three times in that stretch. The one downer was a 1 run effort, so there’s really no middle game with this offense right now. SNEAKY GAME Rays vs Rangers TB: Kiermaier,…...
