Only DraftKings understands early slates, they have a 6 gamer while FanDuel has two three game slates. The most unusual thing about these games is that the Padres and Marlins are playing a 4PM get away game and that game just wreaks of a no hitter.

And while I am open to the idea of a SP game stack with Lopez here to utilize a little mid week south beach theory, I gotta start with Clev to be solid enough and get through 6 innings today without allowing an ER.
