Monday brings us an eight game slate, great series on tap here with lots of middle of pack stadiums and plenty of ‘new’ series. Specifically tonight there is just one divisional matchup and that features the Rangers in Oakland. WEATHER Three spots with some rain possibilities. Braves at Pirates – This one could wind up being the worst of them. But they won’t start and then PPD, so its either an early PPD or they wait it out and get the game in. Cubs at Mets … Should play Blue Jays at Guardians … Should play There is a clear top four today, so I am going to offer my thoughts on all of them, ranked in order of preference. Spencer Strider – $12,800 (DK) | $11,500 (FD) The big price tag on Strider is the only wart that one might be able to find with him and with a clear value option at #2 I see no reason to really get upset about using Strider when I believe he has a 10-12 strikeout window that he should hit. Dane Dunning – $7,200 (DK) | $84,00 (FD) Dunning beats out Patrick Sandoval as the SP2 in the 7000’s today. The difference is minimal but Sandoval’s inconsistency really bothers me this season. Dunning on the other hand seems to hate it when I attack him, so maybe he wont have what he did last start vs Chicago obviously but I still can’t see Oakland with a low .139 ISO against his pitch-type’s coming out to blow him up. OTHERS TO TRUST … Gerrit Cole – $11,300 (DK) | $11,000 (FD) Pivot option #1 off Strider due to PPD risk Freddy Peralta – $9,600 (DK) | $10,500 (FD) Pivot option #2. Colorado is a little scary here for me though. BREWERS Yelich, Contreras, Turang Ole Pete Lambert is more a 1.5 WHIP guy than what he was doing when he trucked through the Tigers-Marlins and Nationals in July. Milwaukee should have 1-2 guys on base EEVRY inning, he only gets a Whiff over 20% with his Change-Up and Christian Yelich is slugging .501 on that. Milwaukee is going off folks. ROYALS Witt, Garcia, Fermin Possibly losing Salvy here in Fenway is a big loss, he would pepper the green monster if not clear it twice, but Freddy Fermin is hitting so well it’s hard to ignore him…...
