It is a ‘quiet’ Thursday night and our opponents are probably bummed that they did not have Cedric Mullins, Mookie Betts and 100% Milwaukee last night so they are once again sitting and lying in perfect position to be Ambushed today on a slate which is void of the easy button pitching of the first month of the season. WEATHER All six games will play. [spacer height=”20px”] <Logan Webb was wrote about in this space. In fact, It was a hell of a write up if I do say so myself. The kind that would most definitely win me an award for the most thorough breakdown without actually saying a damn thing wrote on a day when Americans celebrate someone elses Holiday for their own… So we move on, away from Logan Webb as our no doubt about it number 1 tonight and we try to find a new SP2 since the guy below this becomes the SP1….> SHANE McCLANAHAN We will see where the ownership comes in when the slate locks and honestly I don’t care about sweating MLB ownership that much, but getting Sugar Shane at lower ownership than Robbie Ray will be glorious and our perfect leverage tonight. His path through Winker-Suarez-Crawford tonight is going to be the key and our projections have him cruising through them. It’s a little pricey for Shane coming off an 11K outing but results > value and he will give us strong results. <… Well shit…. We have reached that point where I have to now find another SP that I want to use on my main lineup aaaaaand …?> JESUS LUZARDO Well, the saying Jesus take the wheel definitely feels appropriate here. Luzardo will fill in as my SP2 although he is equal to my third SP option today who is the darkhorse candidate in my mind (Skubal). For Luzardo the results this season have been very strong as he is pitching with a ton more confidence and has been virtually unhitable by LHB. He should do well against Machado and on a slate where I think the chalk SP will get beat up he becomes someone that can be good enough.
