There are two slates today, the 1PM slate is what I consider the MAIN slate since it has 6 games on it and then a 8PM Evening slate with just 4 games on it. For the travel narrative nerds, the Cardinals and Astros are the only home teams in the 1PM window who was on the road yesterday and had to travel back home – obviously every road team traveled. WEATHER Guardians at Orioles – Light rain, should play without a delay. TOP ARM Nate Eovaldi (DK: $10.5k, FD: $10.2k) Eovaldi has destroyed bad lineups this season, and even though the Tigers are actually playing decent Baseball, they are still in fact a bad lineup. SP2 OPTIONS Tyler Wells (DK: $9000, FD: $9700) Steep price here on wells but safer for going 6 innings than Nelson Ryne Nelson (DK: $6700, FD: $6900) Not gonna pay for Gray vs Houston even though he isn’t that tall and well, short pitchers do well vs Houston… So for a cheap option w roof closed Nelson gets the bad on the road Rockies DIAMONDBACKS Walker, Gurriel Time for Karl Kauffman to go the journey of that < 2 IP and 5+ ER start. Arizona’s not gonna strike out at all here and should have the ball in play a ton in their big home stadium. From a pricing perspective the upside this lineup has offensively today along with their very reasonable prices makes this a heavy stack spot. Lourdes Gurriel and Christian Walker are the key power bats, but once the lineup is posted look at getting heavy exposure to the top of the lineup. ROYALS / CARDINALS Pratto, Witt, Melendez — Gorman, Nootbar This one is my favorite spot to finish with a 9-8 type score. KC has listed Josh Staumont as the opener going no more than 1 IP in my mind with Mike Mayers being the bulk arm after him. Cards Lefties and Royals lefties + Witt CONSIDERED … This is the considered, but just didn’t make the cut list –> RANGERS Good luck paying for a full Texas stack on DraftKings. Semien/Garcia/Jung are each fantastic one offs. RAYS There will be a day in this series where Tampa hits 10 homers, it shouldn’t be vs Stroman though TWINS JP France continues to be hittable vs RHH, but Correa is still banged up and questionable if…...
