The Indians suck. They are not allowed to be called the Guardians given how bad they suck. Just my $0.02 on the early slate. In fact, we won’t even call them the Indians. The team who can’t outsell the Browns and Cavaliers sucks. [spacer height=”20px”] WEATHER Yankees at Pirates – Rain and tears from Yankees fans losing a second game in a row to the Pirates. [spacer height=”20px”] Ladies and Gentlemen. Pitching tonight for YOUR Colorado Rockies. The man, the myth, the legend, the GOAT… JOSE URENA! [spacer height=”20px”] LUIS SEVERINO I joked above about the Yankees and their fans crying over a second straight loss to the Pirates, but it won’t be a 10-9 loss if they do as Severino. After three down starts on getting strikeouts vs Houston twice and the Jays once we should expect him to get back to a 30%+ strikeout potential today. ALEX COBB / MERRILL KELLY I am very open to the idea of game stacking the pitchers here in a closed roof Chase Field tonight. After both teams have been seeing lefties lately we get them back on their weaker sides. So here’s the rub. The Giants have lost the first two games and I give them the lean to find a way to win tonight which is why Cobb is ranked ahead of Kelly but Kelly to me is the more safe option to go 6+ innings without damage while Cobb has the much higher strike-out upside. Both are very well priced on DraftKings that we want one and frankly I don’t think it matters which so I am recommending both.

I have yet to see if Soto is in, but clearly if he is then he’s my Chairman and if he isn’t then I still will fade Nola as we have good pivots today. Brayan Bello is a Red Sox SP prospect who has a similar frame to Triston McKenzie and has a lot of buzz around him. The Rays aren’t exactly the ideal first opponent and I dont think we need the extra salary relief on DK with Kelly/Cobb. Mitch White was a top recommendation last night on a bad pitching slate until he was pushed back to today and I will once again be fine with him tonight but we…...
