WEATHER All clear Max Fried (DK: $9000, FD: $9000) Tons of homers last night and offense in this big series, but now we get two lefties that are going to try and out pitch each other. I love the form that Fried comes in with a good start in San Francisco earlier on this road trip and the Santa Monica native has always liked pitching in Dodger Stadium too. Load up on Fried tonight, he’s pitching a gem kids. Patrick Sandoval (DK: $7200, FD: $9200) Another lefty out in California, the game nobody really wants to even acknowledge is going to play between Anaheim and Oakland. If Sandoval doesn’t come out and get lots of soft contact tonight then just shoot him down for the rest of the season and let him go play golf or something. James Paxton (DK: $7500, FD: $8800) Royals are hitting LHP well, but the price here and their likely boost in strikeouts is worth taking a shot Notes on other pitching options Eury Perez – Marlins are likely going to keep limiting him. Given the Nationals low K% and his high price/low pitch count I don’t see him paying off today. Kodai Senga is someone I trust more than Scherzer vs the Twins and Wheeler in Milwaukee today. Seattle should struggle with his ghost pitch. Verlander vs the Yankees – very tempting, but I think we gotta trust New York is hitting well and avoid picking on them. Boston Red Sox Rafael Devers, Trevor Story, Alex Verdugo Jordan Lyles…. ‘Nuff Said? Baltimore Orioles Anthony Santander, Adley Rutschman Philadelphia Phillies Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner Jays / Rockies Belt, Varsho, Schneider Oh look, Jays in Coors Field after the Braves? Should be fun, right. Brandon Belt is only 4200, Schneider at 4800 and Varsho at 3900, all great against Flexen Deez Nutz CATCHER Adley RUtschman Connor Wong Mitch Garver FIRST BASE Brandon Belt Josh Bell Christian Walker SECOND BASE Brandon Lowe Ketel Marte David Schneider THIRD BASE Rafael Devers Gunnar Henderson Nolan Arenado SHORTSTOP Do we really want to use donkey Ernie Clement as he likely is getting the spot still with Bichette out? Sure, why not, this position is kinda blah tonight anyways outside of Trea Turner. Ernie Clement Trevor Story Trea Turner OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore Anthony Santander Kyle Schwarber -…...
