The Giants/Reds game will resume today around 4:40 PM and then they will play the normal game after that. They are tied, but I would assume that the first game is done and lineups immediately posted for the second game, although there is more storm potential right around the time they are looking to resume. WEATHER Lots of potential storms here to monitor, but all pretty low PPD risk, so I would say all clear tonight. This is a very risky SP slate tonight, we’ll see good performances but they should be more of a contrarian type. MY THREE PITCHERS Lucas Giolito (DK: 9300, FD: $10k) This should be a low scoring game in Queens tonight and Carlos Carrasco for just $6200 on DK is a good SP2 chalk to pair here with Giolito for a game stack. Something not common on a big 14 game slate, but worth noting as an option. Giolito gets the lean though, as I trust his depth into the game more — he should go 7 innings, limit the Mets to 2 ER or less and have a 6+ strikeout spot. Patrick Sandoval (DK: 7500, FD: $7100) It’s me, picking on another NY team and yeah, this one is really bad right now. Sandoval has been very inconsistent in 2023, but when he gets a shitty offense like this he should capitalize with lots of GB outs and some depth tonight. Daniel Lynch (DK: $6300, FD: $7500) Two young lefties against two bad offenses tonight in Kauffman Stadium. Skubal might have the better ratio of Strikeouts overall but his ceiling is really limited due to just being a third start off the IL this season and the Tigers taking it easy with him right now. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS I am still a believer in Alek Manoah and his 0 BB 8 K performance no matter who it was against is the first encouraging sign to see the mental block start to wear off for him. The pitch clock most definitely was a big cause of issues, so too has been the pitch calling from the catcher, and I hope Danny Jansen is catching him tonight and we’ll get a solid outing from Manoah. Bailey Ober has a 28.3% strikeout rate vs Seattle and I thought you should know that. Plus the Mariners are consistently among the worst K teams in the…...
