An odd setup here on Sunday where as of now DraftKings has not posted a normal afternoon slate, but instead made a 5 game Turbo slate that includes one of the MAIN slate games as well. We have no Coors Field on the MAIN slate for either site and my friends, we have — Site Synchronicity! WEATHER CLE @ MIN: This one could be a PPD risk given that it is a divisional game LAD @ CHC: They can wait out the weather and get this game in. MY GUYS TODAY JACK FLAHERTY (DK: 8900, FD: $9700) … Jack feels like the guy we look at today and cannot find too much to nitpick besides his prior history. The recent history is looking better though, pitching for the Tigers and being able to feast upon a bad White Sox lineup in his first start & now the Athletics in his second doesnt hurt. Expect another 30%+ CSW rate today which will put him in line for another 20+ DraftKings score. The run support will be there as well. CHRISTOPHER SANCHEZ (DK: 7600, FD: $8300) … The Nationals, while having a couple okay bats, are still pathetic right now. Abrams is questionable here, Ruiz is ice cold, Meneses is ice cold and they might still roll out Winker/Gallo in LvL match-ups, which isn’t ideal against Sanchez. THE SUNDAY SLEEPER None. There’s no point today with any of the so called ‘sneaky’ guys, as ownership should be spread out and we’re not really needing to be fading much of anything anyways. If you wanted someone who is going to out perform expectations it would be Marco Gonzales — but … why subject yourself to that? OTHER THOUGHTS Sean Manaea is what I would consider the primary ‘Fade’ guy who might grade well based on his first start. Avoid in Cincinnati. I do not mind MacKenzie Gore, Chris Sale, Kyle Gibson, Alec Marsh and even Shota Imanaga — but I cannot justify any of them above Flaherty and Sanchez, so why change lanes on the highway if we don’t need too as my father would say. Sorry for being boring here, but the meal has been served, eat it. With 11 games today we have some EXTREMELY high ratings on the model which was somewhat interesting to me and the more analysis I do on the pitching matchups here I think…...
