MY THREE PITCHERS
Sandy Alcantara (DK: 8400, FD: $8400)
Price synchronicity and happy Sandy Day 2023! Sure, there is a ‘former team’ narrative if you want to stretch it here but I see someone who just had much higher expectations that is pitching just fine of late. His last four starts Sandy has allowed a total of 5 walks over 24 2/3 IP, 8 ER — 4 of which were in Atlanta and has 21 strikeouts. It’s not Cy Young level no, but it’s good and the Cardinals offense should struggle to produce consistent hard contact today.
Brayan Bello (DK: $9100, FD: $10k)
Hey nice, the Boston in Oakland shutout came with Medina last night? Of all people, awesome. I would go here again for a “hopefully” safe pitching combination and a 4-2 game. Boston will hit Waldichuk enough to only consider Bello
