On the Dashboard/Lineups page this 4PM slate is considered ‘Afternoon’ and the evening 5 game slate is considered the ‘Main’ slate. I will not have an article for the second late slate tonight, so some thoughts overall for it will be at the bottom of this article. All total we have 8 games in this 4PM window and 5 late. WEATHER STL at PIT … Chance of storms right around first pitch, game will play though, so worst case there is a slight delay before they begin. PHI at WSH … Hot, Hot, Hot. MIL at CIN … Hot, Hot, Hot. TOP ARMS Eury Perez (DK: 8700) The young kid gets a nice comfortable home game with Oakland on tap. His stuff is too good to worry about a limited ceiling on pitches thrown today. SP2 CHOICES Cristian Javier (DK: $10.6k) Javier should be the top overall scoring SP, but his price ranks him as #1 compared to Perez who I think is very safe to use. Overall that’s our DK combination.

His recent form is good despite 5 walks vs his former team last start out, so I expect that to come back to better form today and 6+ IP with 1K per inning is our goal. BREWERS Yelich, Tellez, Contreras, Anderson, Taylor, Bernie the Brewer They’re all going yard. The Graham Ashcraft experience is long and dead and if he breaks up the Milwaukee lock of the weekend stack then tip of the cap to the crafty Ass-man. MARINERS France, Kelenic, Hernandez, Suarez This is one of those 3-true outcome spots where you’ll get a strikeout, a walk or a homer off Andrew Heaney. Kelenic is a very contrarian spot here and should do damage off the Rangers bullpen if given a good opportunity with men on base. CATCHER William Contreras Tyler Stephenson Mitch Garver FIRST BASE This is a very simple position today, I wouldn’t touch anyone not out of these three as there are a lot of…...
