Tomorrow is of course not only the 4th of July, but a Tuesday where you have a ton of afternoon games. I really want to try and cover all of it but we’ll see what we get from a slate perspective between FanDuel and DraftKings. Place your bets now on the number of slates which FanDuel will try to roll with, I think 7 seems optimal to them. My vote for the ideal slate tomorrow? Start us at 1:10 with the Cardinals/Marlins, including the 3 1pm/2pm games and then the five games in the 4PM window, make that an 8 game main slate and then do a five game night slate starting at 6:40. You can still have the Nationals 11am showdown slate and all is well. My guess is that DK does three slates, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm. And FD will have 11am, 1pm, 4pm, 6pm, 7pm with a bunch of cheezy ass contests names like Joey’s Chestnuts and Schlongs. For today meanwhile we have a six game MAIN slate even though there are two games in the afternoon and two games in the turbo/6pm window. WEATHER Everything should play fine tonight with a chance of storms/late rain in New York and Minnesota TOP PITCHER Logan Webb (DK: $9200) We should of course assume that Webb was already back in San Francisco and could watch the SNB game last night from the comfort of his couch while sipping on a case of Busch Beer – he’s definitely a Busch guy. I think there is most definitely some logic to a game-stack on pitching here, but my preferred side is picking on Seattle who has a 34% strikeout rate vs RHP over the last week and really that’s been them most of the season as well. SP2 OPTION(s) Mitch Keller (DK: $8800) Kershaw will not go for the Dodgers tonight, instead Michael Grove will start. Just gonna erase what I had written between both of these guys here but Keller remains my SP2 choice. OTHER PITCHING CONSIDERATIONS Domingo German has the worlds most unheralded perfect game I could have ever imagined. Please, do not take the cheese and use him. These 3 1/2 teams are all pretty equal tonight. ORIOLES Mullins, Rutschman, Hays A very cold lineup against a SP coming off a perfect game? Yep. The Orioles should be able to get a couple HR…...
