By the time you are reading this article the Marlins and Cubs should be well on their way to entertaining a crowd full of drunks at 1060 West Addison in Chicago, Illinois. Home of the Chicago Cubs and home of Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues of course. If you are a late reader then you’re probably sitting at a watering hole as Justin Verlander prepares to make his 2024 debut against MacKenzie Gore and the Washington Nationals. Verlander might have a no-hitter through 5. The other Turbo slate games include the Angels in Cincinnati for what should be a high scoring series, the Red Sox and Pirates squaring off in PNC and the White Sox versus the Phillies. WEATHER SEA @ COL – This is the big one tonight. Definitely got rain in the forecast in Coors and the Mariners (like most AL teams) going into Coors really smells like a high scoring spot. TEX @ ATL – Chance of Storms, should play YOSHINOBU YAMAMOTO (DK: $9600, FD: $9300) … I doubt he is going to be highly owned but he is pitching very well now & can put up a 7 strikeout performance even though there’s going to be 1 or 2 homers hit by the Mets.

JOE RYAN (DK: $8900, FD: $10.2k) … Ryan is facing the Tigers for a second straight start and coming off his break the seal start last time. Can he match it cleanly tonight? Probably not, which is why I have him ranked second but the pitching tonight is not very comforting, while facing the Tigers right now is comforting. CLARKE SCHMIDT (DK: $7900) … Clarke doesn’t do much extremely well, but then neither do the Rays offensively right now either. It’s chilly in Yankee Stadium tonight & his blow-up risk is very low IMO. Other Pitching Notes If you play Freddy Peralta on FanDuel, God speed to you my friend. 11k? Hell no. DK is reasonable, but I prefer Yoshi. Chris Sale is another “could shock you at low ownership” option today to keep…...
