Main Slate – 8 games.
WEATHER
Everything should be a go with a chance of rain in NY, KC and Colorado, but no PPD risk.
Heavy winds and sub 60 degree temps in Wrigley Field. The winds are blowing IN, so congrats to Stroman and Senga, although I am curious how heavy winds affect Senga here, I really like the Cubs as a sneaky lineup today.
TOP ARM
Bryce Miller (DK: 10.1k, FD: $10.9k)
Boy this escalated quickly, but I guess when you start your ML career the way Miller has and you get a team like Oakland who has a 30% strikeout rate and a .340 team SLG over the last 10 days you are going to warrant five figure pricing.
SP2 OPTIONS
Tony Gonsolin (DK: $8500, FD: $9000)
This will be Gonzo’s best start of 2023, he’s coming off a game where he had the most SwStr he has had all season and he’s settling into a comfortable pitch count to trust him to get into the 6th inning today.
OTHER PITCHING NOTES
Matt Boyd is not pitching another gem two games in a row, even if he is drawing the Royals tonight.
Sandy will be good enough, Senga/Stroman will be a clusterfuck and … well, I kinda like Zack Greinke to be honest with you, but why bother.
Players listed with each team are the primary options to build around.
TOP STACK
Mariners (Kelenic, Crawford, Murphy)
I would imagine the Mariners are pretty popular (along with San Diego) and with Waldichuk not having any success vs LHH and the Mariners likely beating up on Oakland’s pen tonight I don’t see how this fails.
SECONDARY STACKS
Marlins (Hampson, Cooper, Arraez, Segura)
Hampson, Arraez and Segura, these are the key guys in the Colorado lineup. Two of them are sub 3400 on DraftKings and Arraez is not going to go 0-5 in Coors two nights in a row.
Cubs (Swanson, Happ, Morel, Suzuki)
Contrarian? Stupid? Gut feel? Whatever you want to convince yourself, roll a 2nd lineup out tonight with Cubs in it and sit back and watch the fun.
