Alright, two articles coming today. There is what I consider the MAIN slate that locks ta 4PM today on both sites and then DraftKings has a 5 game evening slate that includes the two double header games today, so I’ll do a quick analysis on that slate as well. The two double headers are Tampa/Toronto and New York/Cleveland. Thankfully, both sites have the same 9 games on the 4:05 PM EST slate. And yes, today is Saturday. So Happy Mt. Rushmore Saturday HR Club Day [spacer height=”20px”] WEATHER Marlins at Nationals – PPD Risk or they just wait it out which is more likely. I have one play in this game and his name is Nelson Cruz Cardinals at Phillies – I believe this game plays. All other games are free and clear of PPD risk and obviously they are day games so the temps are nice. [spacer height=”20px”] DYLAN CEASE I think Dylan Cease and Logan Webb have something written into their contracts that says they must start in day games only. For Cease this will be his 11th day game start of the season compared to 5 night starts. In the night starts Cease has posted a 5.32 ERA but in day games? He’s been the Cy Young candidate I thought he would be with a 1.41 ERA. Call it luck of the opponents if you want too, but the Giants aren’t exactly a tough opponent for him and it’s not that warm out in San Francisco — which is a big deal in that park. Webb meanwhile is making his 12th day game start compared to just 4 night games, he has opposite splits though in Day/Night games this year but is certainly not a horrible SP2 to pair with Cease and just roll along. GEORGE KIRBY After correctly fading (and betting against) Kirby early this week vs Baltimore I now am on the Kirby train vs Oakland who has only won back to back games once in the past month or so and that was vs the damn Royals. So Seattle is winning and the only Oakland hitter who grades out slightly okay is Seth Brown. We just need Kirby to command the zone and if he gives up a solo bomb to Brown then so be it. LOGAN WEBB This is a great lineup for Webb to face as it’s mostly RHB and he is very risk…...
