Sunday Afternoon & Showdown slate thoughts Rangers (Heaney) vs Athletics (Rucinski) Giants (Webb) vs Diamondbacks (Pfaadt) Padres (Weathers) vs Gonsolin (Dodgers) Showdown Cardinals (Mikolas) vs Red Sox (Kluber) WEATHER Roof closed in Arizona, great weather in OAK/LA. Afternoon Slate Lookie here, Logan Webb finishes off the week with a day game, but in the roof close environment of Arizona it might feel like a night game for him. That’s the top spot for me to trust pitching today, and I would think Pfaadt will have a good start for Arizona, bringing this one up as the top SP gamestack on a short 3 game slate. The wild card for me on this slate is Andrew Heaney if he can roll out a 30% K rate today he’ll score well at $8800 on DraftKings, but I have no desire to go there personally. As for Tony Gonsolin, who the model will like based off mostly his 2022 data, I would avoid going there just yet as well. Logan Webb (SF) Brandon Pfaadt (ARI) Showdown There’s absolutely nothing about Mikolas vs Boston and Kluber vs the Cardinals which we really want to roll with, but of the two Kluber should have the better chance of being used as a UTIL/FLEX. Neither should be your captain on DraftKings. Afternoon Slate We go back to a day game in Oakland for our top exposure today offensively. Texas is a good team to stack even with Corey Seager remaining out. Semien-Garcia cost you a good amount, but the upside Jung, Lowe, Heim bring for their price makes it a solid build. Rangers Dodgers … If Ryan Weathers would pitch more than 2 IP then LAD wouldn’t be #2. But with good weather here they should be on radar given how well most of their lineup is hitting right now. Athletics … 9 RHH vs Heaney today, that’ll do well enough Padres Showdown Top Bats Rafael Devers – MVP/Captain Pick Paul Goldschmidt Nolan Arenado Masataka Yoshida Best Showdown Value Justin Turner Triston Casas Lars Nootbar CATCHER Will Smith … +500 xSLG vs LHP Jonah Heim FIRST BASE Nate Lowe Jesus Aguilar SECOND BASE Marcus Semien … Can save $ with Brad Miller here too Jake Cronenworth THIRD BASE Manny Machado Max Muncy Josh Jung SHORTSTOP Only Thairo Estrada is likely to hit near the top of…...
