Back to back days with a 9 game main slate on this Monday and a bunch of new series starting up that are just riveting like Pirates at Nationals, Rangers at Royals and Orioles at Mariners!
And yes, there is Coors Field on the slate.

WEATHER
No issues, all games play.
Wind blowing IN at Cleveland

LUCAS GIOLITO
Giolito’s biggest challenge in 2022 besides playing for a horrible manager is that he’s giving up lots of homers. But he is striking out batters just fine and has a 31% CS/Whiff Rate. The Angels are of course still a horrible offense when it comes to avoiding strikeouts and for those reasons combined he is our top pitcher tonight.
PABLO LOPEZ
Pablo is great vs RHB and should be able to limit big hits from the lefties in this lineup as well. So look for a nice low scoring game where the Marlins need a 7 inning clean start from Pablo.
TYLER WELLS
Wells is a nice value option tonight. He has been excellent at getting strikeouts with his CHG and SLIDER vs lefty hitters which he should see a good amount of tonight — even if Winker is suspended before the game. Seattle isn’t a team that is going to go off every single night right now and I like the Orioles to give him some run support here too to get a win at a cheap 6k price.

Quick Notes
Kevin Gausman should have another ‘better’ start back at home tonight but the Red Sox are on a roll and even if he does get 6-7 strikeouts I think he will serve up 3-4 ER too.
Sonny Gray has not been as good away from home this year and the Guardians are not going to strike out at all. Don’t be a fish here.
Jordan Montgomery is probably uber chalk on DK at $7,600. You really want an uber chalk J-Mont? Thanks, I didn’t think so.

RANGERS
Seager, Garver, Semien, Garcia
Last week we rolled with Kris Bubic in a great start against Angels chalk. Tonight we hammer the hell out of Kris Bubic back at home and I suspect that Jackson Kowar is no doubt the man out of the pen after him today, so Corey Seager, have a nice double dong game vs the Royals again if you will, please.
TWINS
Buxton, Correa, Sanchez, Kiriloff
Twins in Cleveland, for the first time this season and they have a Five (“5”) game series at that. Yesterday’s Chairman Max Kepler makes his return to the park where he has two 3-homer games in his career, but McKenzie is someone who likely isn’t going to give one up to him tonight.
But he sure as hell will for Buxton and Sanchez
BLUE JAYS
Springer, Guerrero, Hernandez
Toronto is stupid cheap on FanDuel and should see a high amount of Fastballs tonight. They might lose the game 7-6, but their 6 for their prices is going to be a loud 6.
