The Marlins and Braves are playing a double-header, so by now you know the drill.  FanDuel has no clue and DraftKings has the second game on the Main slate. Tonight’s marquee game is Aaron Nola and the Phillies against Jacob deGrom and the Mets with the under-card clearly being Dylan Bundy returning to Anaheim to face Reid Detmers right?  Okay, not so much. We do welcome Lance McCullers Jr. to the 2022 season as he is making his season debut and if Houston can get him up to speed that would be tremendous for them ahead of the playoffs.  All in all, there’s quite a bit of depth on the pitching front tonight. WEATHER Hot and wind blowing out in Kauffman Stadium, which is really bad for Brad Keller considering he is likely getting hit hard. All games play.

JACOB deGROM DK: $10,600, FD: $10,800 Jake won’t be as electric as he was last Sunday…   You’re still playing Jake.  This one is going to be fun. LUCAS GIOLITO DK: $7,500 (Not worth it on FD) Another early evening game in Chicago should benefit the pitchers in the early innings.  Giolito hasn’t been what people expected this season but he does have a 30% strikeout rate against LHH, so the better Tigers hitters right now likely don’t touch him up much. Mr. Anderson DK: $6,700 (Not available it on FD) My, name is Ian….  Hopefully he takes on that type of attitude finally as in prior spots when he looked good he shit the bed.  Game two of the doubleheader and I’m not really concerned with having to monitor the first one here.  Miami is very limited at their home park and at $6,700 if you want to trim on pitching $ Anderson works out well.
