Alright so we have a six game afternoon slate on FanDuel and a five gamer on DraftKings. I am not sure why DK decided to omit the Dodgers waking up for another round of pounding on the Jays today, but we can still bet on that or roll with it on FanDuel instead.
WEATHER
All games play
First off, I would not go with Glasnow on FanDuel. The price is too much and I don’t see a dominant game in Toronto. With just five games, this is a quick pick and get it over with spot.
- Sonny Gray (DK: $10.2k, FD: $10.8k) … Like Glasnow, not my favorite FD choice, but workable on DraftKings
- Cole Irvin (DK: $6800, FD: $8000) … How much $ is going to be wagered on Baltimore today? Nobody thinks they lose the second game, and by nobody that involves me.
Other Pitching Notes
- We talk about strikeouts with DFS pitchers all the time, for good reason, you know given how the damn game works and all. The best one on the DK slate is Hunter Greene but not vs Texas. He’s only projecting around 5 strikeouts with a 6.5 K prop — so consider the under a viable option there.
- Your best sleeper pitcher today is going to be Adrian Houser. Outside of completely punting on pitching, I’m not a big fan, although on FanDuel I am giving it some thought along with the four Dodgers against Kikuchi.
FanDuel Only
THE DODGERS: Teoscar Hernandez, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman
When two worlds collide. I always love taking the Jays in their Saturday afternoon home games at 3PM, but damn, Kikuchi is not the guy to roll out there vs Teoscar Hernandez today.
DRAFTKINGS
CUBS vs RED SOX
Honestly, there isn’t a ton of offense here on this slate. The Cubs and Red Sox will stand out as the most likely scenario but Ben Brown will have enough success to avoid giving up 5+ ER today no matter how long they leave him out there. That said, Boston lefties are a good starting point & the Cubs offense is playing well right now + should handle Winckowski and Boston’s pen again.
RANGERS
Seager, Garcia, Lowe
When there is limited offense that stands out as obvious I would always advise going with a good team who is contrarian. The Reds could be chalky against former Red Michael Lorenzen, but as I stated above, I am on the Greene under K prop here and would correlate that into a big Texas day.
