I am a little disappointed that I didn’t ride on the Orioles harder last night as they’re a team who I have liked going into Seattle and for some reason there was George Kirby chalk which is just hilarious. Granted, some of us backed the White Sox to win a game, which is equally hilarious. Today we move forward with 15 games on the MAIN slate(s) and one of those is G2 of a double header between the Twins and Guardians. Hopefully in the two games today if the Twins score 11 runs again they can get more than 0-12 out of Luis Arraez, Byron Buxton and Max Kepler.

Oh well. [spacer height=”20px”] We have Tarik Skubal, Robbie Ray and Carlos Rodon all pitching on this slate tonight, so insert the Spider-Man pointing Meme. I have been playing FanDuel for a long time and on a 15 game slate when there are a high number of good SP options out there you will easily find enough value hitters that fit in around them to take their 8-10 strike-out performance to the top. So don’t be a sheep and think “oh, I can go cheap SP and pay for the bats” because there’s PLENTY of value out there. Yes, we can make a similar case on DraftKings but finding a second pitcher who is a mid-range value is worth it tonight. CARLOS RODON The better of the three lefties and it doesn’t hurt that he…...
