Ten games start us off on Monday, which does not include the two 6:40 PM games and also does not include Tigers/Guardians who are playing two today in Cleveland.

WEATHER
All Clear.

JULIO URIAS
In my mind, Urias is the cleanest pitcher going tonight at his price. The downside once again is that he never gives you that dominant 105 or 110 pitch type outing and with the Dodgers very secure in their standings I see no reason why that would change today. But for a safe production outing, Urias vs Milwaukee is it.
LUIS CASTILLO
Castillo has been great for the Mariners thus far and yet he could still have his worst outing as a Mariner and still be just fine tonight. The first inning is critical usually for Castillo and tonight that’s going to be very true. If Seattle can get the lead here off Ohtani then Castillo can win this game and the only part of the Angels lineup which he should have to be careful with is Ohtani-Ward.
I wouldn’t pay the 11.2k for Castillo on FanDuel, but even with one mistake today he would still finish over 20 DK fpts.
MADISON BUMGARNER
Pricing is very hard today, there’s a ton of higher dollar arms but none of which stand out as in dominant games. Finding a value SP is going to require a little trust in a dangerous arm and Bumgarner is back in a park he obviously knows and it’s not his first return to San Francisco as a non Giant. Without a ton of good hitters in the Giants lineup he should be able to get through 5 or 6 innings tonight without much damage against.

Also don’t mind
Ohtani (on FanDuel instead of Castillo)
Josiah Gray (Should pitch better vs Cubs back at home, but still gives up 2 HR)
Yusei WTF, and I say Kikuchi!

BRAVES
Acuna, Riley, Olson, Contreras, Harris II
Gimme all the fireworks with Carrasco on the road and not just the Mets hitters vs loud mouth Strider today. Humid in Atlanta and a big series for these two lineups to wake up and try and do damage vs each other.
BLUE JAYS
Springer, Guerrero, Bichette
Bradish against Toronto is going to go poorly for Bradish. He navigated through 5 innings last week against them but the big advantage will go to the hitters tonight seeing him a second time and his lack of depth in pitches he trusts will show up big time. Springer is back and either he or Vlad should drive a slider out of the park.
ROYALS
Pasquantino, Perez, Melendez
Mr. Italiano, Vincent Pasquantino is just $2100 on DraftKings and he’s been hitting too good to be at that price while also facing lots of fastballs tonight. I like the Royals value to warrant stacking them over equally good teams like the Astros, Mets and Dodgers
