It feels like 2019 because Dinelson Lamet and Julio Teheran are pitching tonight. I shit you not people… The Padres and Marlins game is on FanDuel only, not on DraftKings slate and it is Snell versus Garrett and it should be a snoozefest. WEATHER No issues tonight, 4 of the 6 games are in Domes. TOP ARM Hunter Brown (DK: $10k, FD: $10.5k) Brown is the only arm tonight who could come out and just dominate the slate. He got 14 Swinging Strikes vs Minnesota in their first meeting and has been consistent all season long in his rookie year. We do still have some power here on the Twins side but not enough for me to be too concerned. SP2 OPTIONS Aaron Nola (DK: $9100, FD: $9100) Looking for a good SP vs an offense which has cooled off? It’s Nola folks. Don’t give me this crap about Nola on the road, he’s got a fantastic park shift here going into Citi Field and will get plenty of run support tonight. BEST VALUE ARMS Clarke Schmidt, Alek Manoah, Julio Teheran You know the risk with Manoah and Teheran, which also is why Clarke could wind up being a little popular as a cheap option and thus to me he is your fade. Anytime you can get contrarian with a guy struggling but has talent you take it, and that … is … well, no, we’re not going Manoah – pay up for pitching folks. OTHER SP NOTES I’m the only person who thinks Alek Manoah is going to still be fine, but that’s still not a good enough feeling to roster him against the Brewers today for me. Don’t fall into the James Paxton trap, anyone who tries to claim he is “back” clearly just turned on MLB for the first time because this has the makings of Paxton leaving in the 2nd inning with 4 ER allowed and some bullshit injury. REDS / RED SOX Cincy: India, McCLain, Steer, Senzel Boston: Verdugo, Devers A million runs in this game tonight. Warm weather in Fenway with two straight garbage pitchers. I’ll build everything around this game and expect it to be the obvious chalky spot tonight as well, so be prepared for that.
