We will have just this singular article today as this is the only slate I am putting much energy into for today. There is a moderate night slate tonight that is four games and includes Coors Field on it on DK. Technically this is the MAIN slate for FanDuel and Afternoon slate for DraftKings. Both sites have the same set of 9 games on them and none of the games are part of double headers today either, which is nice. [spacer height=”20px”] WEATHER HOU vs KC: Kauffman Stadium could have a combination of Rain and Sewage today. The rain is being provided by Mother Nature and the Sewage is being provided by all hitters not named Bobby Witt Jr on the Royals. This game should play but with rain coming in as the game moves into the later innings. All other non roof games are good to go. [spacer height=”20px”] This is a very good pitching depth slate. DYLAN CEASE Cease got back on the path to his stellar season last outing and should continue that today vs the Rays. Most of the damage on Cease this season has come from RHH and the Rays RHH do not hit RHP very well, so he is expected to continue with another 30% strike out performance. TRISTON McKENZIE McKenzie is quietly having a season which deserves way more recognition than he is getting and he is the type of pitcher that if you haven’t faced him before you likely will struggle. His last three starts he has gone 7+ innings in each vs the Tigers, Astros and Twins and didn’t go over 100 pitches in any of them. He does this because he gets a good amount of swings up in the zone early and puts guys away with his Slider & Curveball’s which are both 30-40% strike-out rates vs LH and RH. The Orioles are a good team for him to feast on and only Odor has a prior PA vs McKenzie. I wouldn’t be shocked if he struck out 7 Orioles the first time through today. BETTER THAN SEX MacKenzie Gore vs Aaron Ashby. What an electric match-up between young lefties in Ole Miller Park. Logically they both should be very electric but with other guys having some soft match-ups I prefer the three guys above but wouldn’t hate it if you used either of these kids.
