Time to settle in to enjoy a Friday Night MLB DFS slate with 13 games. [spacer height=”10px”] WEATHER Cardinals at Nationals – The return of Goldy and Nolan have brought some storms into the DC area, it could get ugly all day and with the Nationals history they are very likely to be a risk of PPD this game. From a pitching standpoint, Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas is worthy of considering in a clean weather game, but not with some weather risks. Royals at Yankees – Looks like a very low rain risk Diamondbacks at Braves – Similar here, some storms could delay the start.

Without a ton of lefty power in this lineup either Manoah gets a good spot for him to excel so long as he has his mental focus. We should know in the first two innings if he is going to ball out or be annoying tonight but the spot is very ideal for a great game. MARTIN PEREZ The rumor was that the Angels would be resting Ohtani tonight to give him a rare day off after he pitched last night. With the lefty on the bump for Texas there’s some logic to them doing that, although it just means that Perez can likely pitch around Taylor Ward without anybody on base. Angels suck in general but the Angels really suck vs LHP. LANCE LYNN The second half of the MLB season often brings us odd winning streaks for bad teams. Oakland has won 7 of their last 10 overall and just swept the Astros so they fit into that category and face a shitty team as well tonight in the White Sox. But Lynn is once again back to dominating RHB and being mediocre vs lefties, so that’s where we look first and with just Seth Brown grading out well for the Athletics Lynn can give us 100+ pitches tonight for a good start. He’s pretty cheap on DK too so he is likely a chalky decision to decide upon for your SP2 and I am very comfortable with it.
