WEATHER
Marlins at Braves – This one has some weather concerns here as there will be storms throughout the day in Atlanta AND we of course have a divisional series which can easily be made up later in the season. I do like Kyle Wright as an SP vs the Fish but the weather has me avoiding him and most of this game.
SHOHEI OHTANI
I will gladly ‘buy low’ on the best pitcher in the National League still. Mr. Alcantara struggled big time in one start vs the Phillies, and now gets another dangerous division rival but this one has a higher K% upside and the weather in Atlanta is not 90 degrees summer weather yet, so this should be a comfortable start for Sandy.
HAYDEN WESNESKI
A day game in Wrigley helps the hitters, but the wind and overall temps aren’t summer like so we can sneak by one more bad San Diego offensive outing with Wesneski. He has a ceiling of around 90 pitches but if his sweeper (its a slider people) is on then the whiffs will be there to pay off.
FanDuel SP
Without Ohtani on the FanDuel slate I do not want you automatically going to Wesneski. Urias vs the Pirates could be the popular choice, but they’re hitting well right now and Urias hasn’t hit a good stride himself. I would look at Matt Strahm or even Seth Lugo for FD options. They’re not pretty overall, but those two should get by without too much harm today.
GIANTS
JD Davis, Joc Pederson, Michael Conforto, Mitch Haniger
We don’t have a single must own team on this early afternoon slate. A day game in San Francisco should help hitting out for both sides and the Giants do one thing well when they do go off and that is hit homers.
ANGELS
Taylor Ward, Anthony Rendon
Too many RHH who can hit for hard contact here. We obviously cannot use Ohtani but that feels okay today. This is not just attacking Sears, but also the Athletics bullpen.
CATCHER
Not much to really get excited about here, I am expecting both Sean Murphy and JT Realmuto to sit.
- Garrett Stubbs
- Tucker Barnhardt
FIRST BASE
Much like catcher, its a thin position on a thin slate. Freeman is the play.
- Freddie Freeman
- Connor Joe
SECOND BASE
- Thairo Estrada
- Ozzie Albies
THIRD BASE
Suarez just isnt what people remember him as, but the guy can still smash LHP and still should benefit from a short ballpark here.
- Eugenio Suarez
- Anthony Rendon

Things I never thought we would be doing — using Mookie at SS!
