Look what we have here kids, it’s everyone playing in the 7:05 PM Window of games on a Tuesday night in August.  Thank you for no Senior Citizen’s Slate of games which means we have teams like the Marlins and Reds on the slate. However, we don’t have all games on the slate and that’s probably good news as the White Sox and Royals are going to play two games today with the first one at 4pm and the second one on neither FD or DK.

Shohei Ohtani is the other main high end SP option off Bieber with Cole actually being a close second in a bounce back spot but neither of which I will use over Bieber. MARCUS STROMAN No wind issues, no humidty issues, the only thing that can fuck this up tonight is Marcus Stroman himself and he has had a very solid season in Chicago padding his stats against some weak competition and in an environment…...
