Neither FanDuel or DraftKings included the Coors Field game today, so rejoice for that news if you did not want to deal with that mess. In fact, the game has just gone and vanished like a fart in the wind as it’s not on any classic slate today at all. The night game tonight is the Cardinals and Phillies as Nolan Arenado continues to remind the Phillies how retarded they were for not making an offer to the Rockies for him a couple years ago. This means that on the 4PM tilt slate we have MacKenzie Gore vs Clayton Kershaw and no, my pants are no longer on. But for now, we address this MAIN slate which is likely to be a little less crazy scoring than yesterday’s. [spacer height=”20px”] WEATHER All clear. [spacer height=”20px”] This is another one of those Classic Sunday slates where I like the sleeper pitchers more than the guys who feel ‘obvious’ to you out there. BRANDON WOODRUFF There are two paths in which Woodruff fails. The first involves Bane coming back to Pittsburgh to finish what he started at Heinz Field and the second involves Bryan Reynolds and Daniel Vogelbach hitting bombs. Otherwise this is a game he once again has 8+ strikeouts and this is coming from someone who isn’t a huge Woodruff fan overall. MY SUNDAY SLEEPERS Boy this is a doozie of a combination today my friends. TRISTON McKENZIE I know that people read my articles and will say “I didnt like that pick”, which is always weird to me because … you don’t have to like the pick before the slate begins. Now maybe it’s my rationale or how some GIF I used in the message, but the bottom line here is that I don’t like half the guys I mention either, but I base my picks off what I see between the data and what I feel in my gut. Oh, don’t get confused, there’s absolutely ZERO data behind the McKenzie pick today. His fastball has been torched for homers by RHH, and this is uh, the Yankees. Right. Exactly. Following a double-header and in the lefty park, this looks like it could be one of those McKenzie 8-9 strike out games. The Yanks have a long history of not scoring runs when J-Montgomery pitches and so McKenzie is my sleeper SP of the day. Of course you aren’t…...
