WEATHER All games will play   Like everyone else I saw Spencer Strider get rocked the other day and now am just going to ignore the Braves Ace, I don’t have a feeling that he’ll have this massive bounce back game but generally it’s just not a spot I wanna pay for more than anything else. BRANDON WOODRUFF Better play given the pricing on DraftKings, an alternative for FD players would be Zac Gallen at $10,500.  Both are going to have lots of AB where they should be able to get to 2 strike situations, Woodruff looked great in his last outing vs the Pirates and now faces the White Sox.  What a lucky guy. COLE RAGANS Yeah, I’ll bite on the Royals kid again.  Young hits young, so the Cards vets Goldy?Arenado which will be chalk are fades for me.  Plus the Ragans experience for the Royals has been too good, what can go wrong here as the Cards strikeout nearly 30% over the last week vs LHP.  He’s gonna get run support too, so thats nice. ANDREW HEANEY Good park for pitchers, but he’ll see a ton of RHH which is a little scary for the HR% upside but temps are low, wind is calm and Heaney’s strikeouts should get him out of jams tonight.   ASTROS Jose Altuve & Alex Bregman … with CJ Cron from the Angels on the other side. ROYALS Witt, Perez, Olivares BRAVES Sean Murphy and Ozzie Albies the favorite options here vs Quintana.  Finding a way to fit in a third high $ Brave tonight is a tough one but Riley would be the logical pick. DIAMONDBACKS Gurriel, Marte, Walker   CATCHER Sean Murphy Carson Kelly Adley Rutschman   FIRST BASE CJ Cron Christian Encarnacion-Strand Christian Walker   SECOND BASE Ozzie Albies Dylan Moore Ketel Marte   THIRD BASE Alex Bregman Austin Riley Emmanuel Rivera   SHORTSTOP Willy Adames Corey Seager Elly De La Cruz   OUTFIELD – Mt.
