Main Slate for Sat, Aug 5th. WEATHER No concerns. CORBIN BURNES Burnes or bust today. Watch this be the night those fake Pirates loot our money away, but I see no reason to really fade Burnesy here. STEVEN MATZ Ugh. Vomit? Yeah, but Matz HAS been decent with back to back games not allowing a run. No he isn’t gonna post another 0 ER over 6 IP spot today, but as we’re seeing just dont worry about finding a 30 spot from your pitchers. The best bats in Colorado’s lineup are lefties now that Cron and Grichuk are gone. Below are my favorite teams to build around today, using a 3-3-2 type roster construction. One game which is ugly on paper but viable for value is the Giants and Athletics. I actually lean on Oakland’s side against Chastity (aka the Stripper, aka, Ross Stripling) for the Giants, so we gotta like Zack Gelof who is on a tear and playing in a cloud at the moment. BREWERS Christian Yelich William Contreras Brian Anderson Willy Adames ORIOLES Being at home I wouldn’t be rolling 5 Orioles out tonight. But Tylor Megil should have a rough 1st inning. Gunnar Henderson Ryan Mountcastle METS Brandon Nimmo Francisco Lindor Jeff McNeil OTHER NOTES: Michael Grove is listed as opener for the Dodgers with Ryan Yarbrough coming in after that tonight. So I lean the Padres RHH in that game. CATCHER William and Willson Contreras…. The hit-men. Like both brothers today, prefer Willie more… You think he goes by Willie or does Willson go by Willie? I need an answer here. Francisco Alvarez FIRST BASE Paul Goldschmidt Ryan Mountcastle Pete Alonso SECOND BASE Zack Gelof Ha-Seong Kim Andres Gimenez THIRD BASE Very good position, Gunnar can be moved to SS here as well. Gunnar Henderson Brian Anderson Manny Machado SHORTSTOP Willy Adames Francisco Lindor Amed Rosario … Him and Chris Taylor and Miguel Rojas present enough to have me avoiding Snell today. I think this is a low strikeout spot for Blake Snell. OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore Christian Yelich Teoscar Hernandez Brandon Nimmo Anthony Santander William Contreras – C – Milwaukee Brewers – Chairman of The Dongers Club Christian Yelich – OF – Brewers Paul Goldschmidt – 1B – Cardinals Francisco Lindor – SS – Mets Anthony Santander – OF -…...
