Coming back to the perfect Friday MLB DFS configuration is peak joy. A 2:20 PM Cubs/Orioles game should be well underway by now on the Friday drinking before technically a 3 day holiday weekend + Fathers Day + US Open on TV coming up and ladies and gentlemen. We have a 14 game MAIN slate tonight. WEATHER Marlins at Nationals – Rain chances with storms around gametime, but I expect this one … ah, you know what, I am not gonna predict Nationals games. Nope. Not gonna do it. Cardinals at Mets – We are monitoring this one VERY closely. Big PPD risk but if they do PPD it I would assume its before lock time. Roof closed in Arizona TOP ARM(S) Joe Ryan (DK: $10,600) Almost a 100% full slate and Joe Ryan could still wind up being a 40% chalk pitcher despite three straight games where he has not put up elite numbers. Ignore the game log reading though because the Tigers are 25th and 28th respectively in splits against his primary pitch usage this season. Their inability to take walks is also going to help him here tonight and he has to easily be the most sure thing safe option. Zac Gallen (DK: $10,200, FD: $10,800) Love Smash Gallen today. The Guardians lefties won’t phase him, he has been great vs LHH this season and really for a good part of his career. Cleveland’s recent power surge in San Diego also does not phase me here as I trust the larger sample size of what we know the offense is. Gallen is great at home, he should be great tonight as long as Jose Ramirez stays quiet. SECONDARY ARMS Patrick Sandoval (DK: $7300, FD: $8100) He is the clear cut #1 value for me if Salvador Perez is out. If Salvy is in though I would still use him just don’t think he is as clean as we want, but the price for someone I am extremely confident wins today at 7300 here on DraftKings makes him the no doubt SP2 for me. He will beat Rich Hill folks. OTHER PITCHING NOTES Everyone will use Rich Hill for $6700 vs the Brewers because they’ve been dog poop against LHP. I hate the spot for Hill who is coming off throwing 119 pitches on June 9th vs the Mets and last I checked he…...
