This is how every Tuesday night should be. We get a near full slate and the avoidance of the Marlins and the Phillies in a game that probably has some HR juice in it – but who cares, we have plenty of other good options tonight. The MLB trade deadline is tonight as well, so we’ll expect some late scratches and news but I do not anticipate any big name players being dealt. WEATHER Very clear TOP OPTIONS BRAYAN BELLO — DK: $8,900 | FD $8,500 We may just go auto-pilot on the RHP vs the Mariners the rest of the way out, doesn’t matter who takes the mound at this point. ZAC GALLEN — DK: $10,500 | FD $10,600 Second have Gallen has cooled off a good amount and he has not been as dominant away from Chase Field, but neither concerns me as the Giants are slugging just .319 over their last 10 games and should not hit well here at home in a night game. This is an okay spot to do a SP game stack but Gallen is by far the better option between him and Cobb in my mind. LANCE LYNN — DK: $7,900 | FD $9,400 Lynn will make his Dodger debut and look here, he gets Oakland. I’ll have my eyes big time on this game because I am very much back on the Dodgers to Win the World Series band wagon and Lynn performing well is pivotal for that happening. OTHER NOTES Anyone promoting Spencer Strider tonight is going to take an L in my mind. The Braves have zero reason to push him down the stretch the final two months of the season and the Angels have too much power for him not to give up 1 or 2 hard hit doubles/homers today. No reason to shop here on a 14 game slate. The model loves Johan Oviedo today, and he’ll likely be a little popular at his price. Too inconsistent for me to take that risk though. ORIOLES Ryan Mountcastle, Anthony Santander The Blue Jays decided to bring back Hyun-Jin Ryu right before Yusei Kikuchi pitches tomorrow AGAINST BALTIMORE. Holy fuck the Orioles could not be running any better right now. What in the world. Zero hesitation here. Play Mountcastle, who … uh, is $3600? What? The Birds have moved Mountcastle into the #2 spot, kinda curious…...
