WEATHER I don’t see any major issues and very warm temps in Texas and Arizona, so I would suspect that both roofs are closed. No major wind anywhere and it’s 99 degrees in St. Louis for the Pirates and Cardinals, but at under aint one. [spacer height=”20px”] Would be nice if tonight we can not have our 1a pitcher leave in the first inning and our 1b pitcher not have the worst defense in the history behind him. Just a small ask on this Monday in June, thank you. The marquee game today features the best pitcher in the NL right now Sandy Alcantara vs Aaron Nola and the Phillies in Citizens Bank Park. Sandy has had some rough starts in Philly and the Marlins have hit well in Philly historically. We also have the return of Lance Lynn tonight for the White Sox. I would plan for him throwing 50-60 pitches with some potential for more but also potential that they pull him before starting an inning when he sits at 58 pitches or so. He is only $5,500 on FanDuel because … well, I don’t know why he is only $5,500 on FanDuel. There are going to be some who say he is a must own there. They are wrong. FanDuel is a ONE pitcher site which has a more flat pricing structure (I honestly prefer that we don’t have a $2k difference between guys like Acuna and Ozuna), and so it’s easier to build hitting options around a singular pitcher. Thus, there’s no reason to ever take a pitcher who has a hard ceiling of 30 points on FanDuel when there ARE multiple pitchers who are very likely to push towards a 50. You are automatically giving away 20 points to a good portion of the field when the benefit is absolutely NOTHING. You aren’t “able to fit the bats in”, because you can fit the bats in with a 7k or 8k pitcher who does not have a pitch count limit as well. So no, I am not bothering with Lance Lynn on FanDuel at $5,500. If anything, I might use the leverage of Grossman & Meadows against a SP coming off the IL on a pitch count limit who people might be touting up as a must own. DK doesn’t matter. He is priced up there. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. [spacer height=”20px”] NOLA…...
