It’s a Friday with 13 games on the MAIN slate and NO, the Cubs are NOT playing this afternoon at home. It’s the DE-TROIT TIGERS hosting the Kansas City Royals in a day game before the NFL Draft resumes in the Motor City. Somewhere, Mike Sweeney is getting amped up to start an epic brawl my friends. For those of you good at math, you have quickly deducted that there are another 2 teams missing from the main slate. Fear not, it’s just two of the worst teams in the league in Houston and Colorado who are playing just twice in Denver this weekend. WEATHER Everything should wind up playing tonight with one exception to monitor. TB at CWS: Slight rain throughout the day, likely won’t stop so either they try to start and play through it or skip it all together and just assign the White Sox a loss. Wind also blowing in. So maybe just cross this game off, as there will be no Eflin and Flexen on this Friday night, sadly. As you would hope with 26 teams in action, there’s a good number of quality pitching options out there today. And with so many bats to find out there, I often lean towards just taking the sure thing top end guys on this kinda night. CORBIN BURNES (DK: $9800, FD: $11.5k) … Very odd pricing for Burnes on DraftKings as there is no reason to think that he’s now a consistent 5-6 strikeout player. Not to mention that Oakland is one of the higher K% teams on the slate. So a SP with strikeout stuff, against a team who strikes out a good amount and … yeah, just take this easy chalk. ZAC GALLEN (DK: $10k, FD: $11k) … I loved the Mariners coming into this season, but they don’t hit as well at home and they should have hit much better in Texas. Two of Gallen’s recent starts have been 30%+ CSW games and he gave up 8 runs in those two combined. Odds are in his favor to straighten that out and deliver a 25+ spot at low ownership. BAILEY OBER (DK: $6800, FD: $8500) … This is a good value on DK and a nice spot on FanDuel as well if you want some late night hammer from your pitching. Sure, Mike Trout. Sure… Wait, no, that’s it. That’s literally the only…...
