There are three “slates” today. 2PM: Three games. This is considered the Early on the Dashboard 4PM: This is considered the MAIN on the Dashboard. This is FanDuel’s MAIN which includes the 7pm games as well (larger slate) and on DraftKings it includes 8 games. 7PM: This is considered the LATE and is really only worthwhile on DraftKings. There is a double header today between the Padres and Rockies, Game 1 is on both the DraftKings and FanDuel 4PM slates. Game 2 is on the DraftKings 7PM slate. MacKenzie Gore is pitching in game 2, so that’s a bummer on FanDuel. This article is covering the 4PM Main slate, which will include analysis for the FanDuel/7pm games. It’s okay if you are confused… I was too.

Look for Montgomery to pitch very well in a low scoring Yankees win. [spacer height=”20px”] WEATHER All games play. [spacer height=”20px”] ZACK WHEELER Wheeler is back off paternity leave and will look to keep the Phillies hot streak going. He definitely should win the game today with the way the offense is swinging the bats and the Diamondbacks will continue to swing and miss as they have lately which puts Wheeler in a position to have a double digit strikeout game. KEVIN GAUSMAN The Tigers are the worst offense in the league right now. Worse than the Athletics, worse than the Brewers, worse than your local little league team who shows up with fancy uniforms and 8 coaches but plays like the bad news bears.
