No site synchronicity today. DraftKings has just 6 games on their ‘Early’ slate while FanDuel has included the Marlins/Guardians 3:05 game, which is the 1st game of a double header and the original one scheduled. This is somewhat unusual for DK to not include a DH game but I have no complaints because I just hate DH games for DFS purposes. WEATHER MIA @ CLE – Probably good that DK did not include this game. It’s rainy again but they’re likely to find a way to play one of the two games. I think the early one gets in so on FD you can trust hitters here. TOR @ NYY – Weather is PERFECT for Manoah to pitch well where he made his MLB debut. It’s foggy, mid 60’s with rain coming later in the day but the game will play and I expect a great SP environment WSH @ MIN – Oh look. It’s cold in Minnesota again with a chance of snow showers. Bring back the Metrodome. LAD @ CHC – 1060 West Addison should get the game in. Maybe a delay, but no major risks here IMO. Wind isn’t that big of a deal either. COL @ PHI – Kinda shocked they only moved the start time up by an hour to 3:05. This indicates to me they’re confident they will get the game in although a DH on Sunday is fine for both teams given their schedule afterwards. Given the start time change, lets assume they play and they play quickly. CWS @ TB (Game is in a Costco Warehouse with a roof) – COSTCO Special today, come one, come all, get your free Kirkland samples and enough toilet paper to handle all the shits your pitchers are going to take today. PABLO LOPEZ I strongly think that this game gets PPD. But if it doesn’t then Lopez is a no brainer not gonna get lit up pick today. ALEK MANOAH He has been bad, there’s no doubting it. The areas he have struggled with definitely seem tied to the pitch clock and his lack of getting his command right, which leads to giving up some hard hit contact when he does try to just get it over and ultimately some bad outings. Manoah has alot of ‘gamer’ in him and I don’t mean the Kyler Murray type of gamer. He’s going to be focused…...
