Somewhere out there in the DFS land someone is going to mention that today is a “big” slate. It’s not, we are deprived of four Turbo slate games my friends. Some might say this is a random Tuesday, and they would be right, but it’s not your average random Tuesday night because there’s some large contests out there in DFS land. WEATHER Couple minor spots with rain but all should play. Cardinals at Nationals Cubs at Pirates Rockies at Reds Athletics at Guardians – Expect this one to be delayed at the start then play. TOP ARM GERRITT COLE (DK: $10.9k, FD: $10,600) Mr. $100k for me last year is getting a Mariners team who has been striking out more than a single white nerdy dude who lives in an apartment and sells DFS advice on the internet does at his local watering hole. The 4-9 part of Seattle’s lineup is strikeout heaven right now for opposing RHP, Cole is getting what should be a quiet weather night in Yankee Stadium and most likely this game finishes as a 1-0 final, just not sure we can be positive who wins it with the way the Yankee lineup is hitting. But Cole is our guy today for 8 IP, 10K performance. SECONDARY ARMS DYLAN CEASE (DK: $7700, FD: $8,600) Two guys who are probably too cheap in Cease and Verlander, and while Verlander gets all the attention tonight I will jump on the Cease heater coming off a 10K performance last outing and now facing the best team in the AL right now. It’s dangerous, it’s contrarian, it’s also a Dylan Cease night my friends. MARCUS STROMAN (DK: $8900, FD: $10,300) – Minor rain pop up concerns A guy who isn’t known for strikeouts against a lineup not known for strikeouts is not exactly a “win me the slate” spot when you are almost 9k and certainly not for his 10.3k price on FanDuel. But if you put that aside, we should see Stroman have a clean game today, he’s pitched well all season and should be pitching well down the stretch to either help the Cubs or get potentially shipped out somewhere else before the trade deadline. 7 innings of limited hits and runs tonight gets him into the 18 DK FPTS range which should be a fine pairing with Cole. OTHER PITCHING NOTES I really like both…...
