Closing out the first half of the MLB DFS season with 10 games on the Main Sunday slate today. WEATHER Cubs at Yankees – This and the game in Boston have some Thunderstorm chances with the %’s being much higher and longer duration here. All other games on the MAIN slate should play. The worst looking one today is the 12:00 pm Showdown spot between Texas and Washington. MY TWO PITCHERS Jesus Luzardo (DK: $9,900 / FD: $10,300) On the narrative side you have the road Phillies coming off an early Saturday afternoon game yesterday with a 4 day vacation looming after today and they had all night in South Beach to sit around and do what? I’m pretty sure Bryce Harper was sitting in his room staring at a candle with one eye until it went blind, Trea Turner had his VR headset on and was on level 7 of some Dungeons and Dragons type game while Craig Kimbrel sat quietly in the corner just staring at him plotting someone’s death. The rest of the team? Half of them hitched on with Alec Bohm and Edmundo Sosa while the other half went out with Kyle Schwarber and Nick Castellanos… The Bohm and Sosa group were passed out drunk by 11pm and are definitely not playing today while the Schwarber/Castellanos side, well, we can’t share what that group did but I doubt they ever went to sleep. Yes, my friends, welcome to South Beach Sunday 2023…. Oh, on the analytical side, Luzardo has been fantastic at home all season, he carries a 32% K rate on LHH and a 28.3% K rate on RHH and should post a 7+ strikeout spot today… Lock him in. Lucas Giolito (DK: $8,800, FD: $10,000) If you believe the Cardinals show up today then God Bless you my friend. Even if they do, we’re not backing someone like Brady Singer here, so with confidence I would go Giolito on either site. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS I really like both Luzardo and Giolito today, and we have a good amount of depth on this slate. Guys like Nola, Ryan, even Eflin vs Atlanta are all going to pitch well enough that I don’t see them being blown up & I didn’t even mention Bieber vs the Royals who also should be fine. So the upside in going to a ‘sleeper’ today just isn’t there…....
