Welcome to the first real good Friday MLB day of the year. Although we do not have 15 games and only 7 on the main slate, it is still nice to see the schedule for today and know that for the next 5+ months we have a full set of Friday Baseball games. Running a little Friendly $10 contest on DraftKings Tonight: Max 25 entries, below is the link. https://www.draftkings.com/draft/contest/160310439 WEATHER All clear. Expect roof closed in Milwaukee and maybe open in Texas. It is not that warm in Atlanta, so do not over-react to “ATLANTA AT HOME ON A FRIDAY OMG!”… I’ll continue to avoid Strider this early in the season and it’s not about him as much as it is about paying 11k+ for my SP1 when there are a heavy amount of alternative options. My Guys Aaron Nola (DK: 9000, FD: $10.1k) … Hi there. Yes, you. Would you like 6 innings, 3 hits, 1 walk, 7 strikeouts? Then, you, my friend, have come to the right place. Logan Gilbert (DK: 9600, FD: 9900) … This is the next best pitcher going tonight. He doesn’t get the glory that other Mariners SP’s get because Gilbert doesn’t have off the charts data elements in any one area, but he just gets the job done. He’s going to have the best career out of all their arms and is someone I trust even with a low strikeout projection tonight. Yes, Freddy Peralta is going to likely out ownership him and maybe have 1-2 more strikeouts, but he’s also going to be OUT of the game much sooner and the Mariners win behind Gilbert and some timely hitting. Brady Singer (DK: 8700, FD: 9200) … The White Sox are trash, no other way to spin this one and you knew I would have to go back to the Singer well eventually. This is also more about how well KC’s pitching finally with some good coaching and less about my love affair for Singer. He should not burn us. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS I limited my SP write-ups to just the three above, because I have Peralta as a fade, Strider as too expensive with no cheap SP2 and the rest of these guys are just low upside, high risk spots. Names like Jose Quintana, Griffin Canning (reverse splits historically which favors him tonight), Hunter Greene (love the Mets, which … feels weird),…...
