Six game Early/Afternoon splits between FanDuel and DraftKings today. DK obviously has the larger six game slate, but we’ll be covering it all so those who love to journey their Saturdays with FanDuel MLB, I have you covered.
WEATHER
Rain lingering throughout the day in Wrigley but the game should play through without any delays.
Holy crap, what a dumpster fire yet again with ALL pitchers last night. And yes, I had the wrong middle initial on Allen last night, total hack job here. A couple changes here today as Justin Verlander makes his 2023 Astros debut in Yankee Stadium, Aaron Civale makes his Rays debut in Detroit and the Marlins are moving bullpen pitcher George Soriano into the rotation for a tilt in Texas with the Rangers.
Meanwhile we also have Nestor Cortes back on the bump for the first time since May, Tarik Skubal making another start for Detroit where he might throw 75-80 pitches and Jose Berrios vs Nick Pivetta!
#1 – JUSTIN VERLANDER
Saturday afternoons and Yankee home game unders. JV getting dealt out of New York only to return immediately to NY is kinda funny to me. His price remains affordable and there’s no reason to not play him today.
#2 – JON GRAY
The offenses that I would put the most faith into warranting a 4+ man build today include:
- Reds
- Rangers
- Red Sox
CATCHER
- Mitch Garver
- Yan Gomes
FIRST BASE
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
- Nathaniel Lowe
SECOND BASE
- Marcus Semien
- Jeter Downs
THIRD BASE
- Elly De La Cruz … Because I like Seager so much here, I would put Elly at 3B with Seager at SS and then find cheaper bats elsewhere.
- Alex Bregman
- Josh Jung
SHORTSTOP
- Corey Seager
OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore
- George Springer
- Kerry Carpenter
- Ian Happ
- Adolis Garcia
- Corey Seager – SS – Rangers – Chairman of The Dongers Club
- Ian Happ – OF – Cubs
- George Springer – OF – Blue Jays
