Site synchronicity for a mid week afternoon slate with 10 games on both FD and DK for the games which begin at 1PM, so you do not have the Rays/Reds game on either site in a classic format. New Player Note The Oakland Athletics have called up Mason Miller, who has been flying through their farm system and some have dubbed ‘the next Strider’. He has great velocity and a hard slider from the right side, which should bode well for having good K% rates in the majors, but like always we’ll expect some walks and limitations early with a young SP in the big leagues. Shockingly, he is not in the DraftKings player pool today. WEATHER Rain in Chicago for the Phils and White Sox. They already had one PPD spot and they have windows to get this in so I would expect that. Coors Field on the other hand looks ugly. Which couold only be the best blessing possible. It’s also heavy winds blowing in, temps in the 50’s and I kinda respect both pitchers there so if it does magically play then we can fade it one more time. TREVOR ROGERS There once was a time when we considered the Giants to be elite vs LHP, but those days are long gone in my mind. Wilmer Flores and Darin Ruf are two guys who were really known for being lefty smashers, but neither really scares me here and with the way Rogers has been getting whiffs on his change-up he should be able to get through this veteran lineup in a getaway game in South Beach. MAX SCHERZER Technically we have a battle of two SP facing their former teams here, even though Max’s time with the Dodgers was a very brief cup of coffee that didn’t amount to much. I don’t forsee any blow up issues, not when he is able to go through Martinez-Muncy-Outman-Peralta today with ease. Max to me is better to pay up for than Justin Steele who is slightly cheaper vs a much weaker opponent, but someone I am cautious about having a good game today. Pay the extra $ for Max. BRADY SINGER No homer here, this is really one of the 3 best SP option going today. Singers last start he was off with his velocity which led to him getting hit harder than he has all…...
