Happy Mother’s Day out there to all the Mom’s. Including the Philly Phinatic’s mother, who has had to put up with her crazy son for far too long. Sadly the Phillies are not at HOME today, which means the Phinatic’s Mom won’t get pulled into her son’s crazy Mothers Day Stunts. Slate Notes DraftKings has kept the Mets vs Nationals game on their MAIN slate today. The game is going to be played at 4PM after they finish the suspended game from yesterday — which should have never been suspended in the first place. FanDuel does not have this game, because they release their slates late and had time to remove it, which is the right thing to do as we should just remove all Nationals home games from DFS forever going forward. WEATHER No issues LOGAN GILBERT You give me a good RHP vs the Tigers and I am interested, and now you give me the emerging Logan Gilbert vs them with Javy Baez’s little ‘heater’ over and some massive K% upside here and I am very much interested. Some might say ‘hey there arent any aces going today’, they’re wrong. The Mariners true ace is on the mound and should go 7+ today in Comerica. HUNTER BROWN After starting the season (and his career) white hot, Hunter Brown had back to back games where the Giants and Angels touched him up a little bit for 13 hits, 6 walks, 6 ER over 8 2/3 combined innings. Nothing horrible here, and nothing to expect him to not have the upside his arm talent displays. This is a chilly game today in Chicago and the only lefties that present a threat are Benintendi and Sheets – in other words — none. KYLE GIBSON Gibby should not have a big strikeout game today — because that just isn’t who he is. He also should not get hammered today by Pittsburgh even though Carlos Santana FOR SURE is someone I can see doing some samage. His $7300 price on DK is viable on a pretty bleak SP2 slate. Other pitching thoughts … Yes, Mitch Keller is for real, but I am not going against Baltimore today. He wont top 20 DK fpts and is 9600 there while not being a better option than Gilbert on FD either. Braxton Garrett and Luke Weaver in the Sunday South Beach game makes…...
