A light Sunday slate as one game is already in progress (Orioles @ Braves) and this is a heavy west coast weekend with five games in the afternoon today. The Sunday Night Baseball game today is between the Dodgers and Padres as well, so we’re kinda light on the slate for a Sunday… Why? Because the Reds and White Sox think they are special and want to play on the 4PM tilt slate today. Makes no sense, but go ahead Cincinnati. The weather looks rough in just one spot, Pittsburgh. Where the Jays have been sending the Pirates back to reality and today it should be raining throughout the day. Expect them to either announce PPD or just sit and ride it out and hope they can get the game in. The Jays are off tomorrow before going to Philadelphia on Tuesday (oh… that’ll be fun) and the Pirates are at home tomorrow, so they CAN wait this one out. Everything else is fine, with warm temps in St. Louis and Kansas City. SANDY ALCANTARA In the division, Sandy has been hit a little bit harder in 2023, but out of the division he remains the Cy Young that we saw last season. Yes, it’s warmer in Chicago today but no real wind impact and under 10k for Sandy is a steal, lock it in for an 8 inning dominant 0 ER performance today from the Marlins ace. MASON MILLER Coming off a 100 pitch outing last start which was near perfect, Miller will go on the road for the second time in his big league career. I don’t think he will burn you at $7600 considering this fits my Royals haven’t seen this guy theory and last night even Waldichuk racked up the strikeouts on them, but we should pump the brakes on crowning his ass thinking he’s gonna go 7-8 IP of no hit ball here… Expectations – 5 2/3 innings, 2 ER, 7 strikeouts. POSSIBLE SUNDAY SLEEPERS It’s really bleak today. The two names who I wanted to give consideration for are Steven Matz (could be chalky, which is just bad) and … Taijuan Walker, but the way Boston is hitting right now and Walker’s likely struggles when he pitches at home the guy has to produce a near 40% strikeout rate today to pay off and I just can’t pull that trigger. The other value…...
