Closer to what we should have generally with a 12 game Tuesday night slate. This is due to there being two Turbo Games and a double header between the Cardinals/Tigers which is ignored entirely for MAIN slate purposes (thankfully). From a timing perspective the slate is awesome with five games at 7pm, two at 8pm and then the rest on the West coast late night. It sets up glorious for a late night tilt lineup scenario as well. WEATHER No issues, roof open again in Arizona & probably open in Texas MITCH KELLER (DK: $8800, FD: $9000) … Keller is a good enough pitcher that when facing a team who has no intel on him he should be able to get swings early to avoid walks. His last start was a strenuous one against the Brewers who know him well, but in that spot he also had a very low 13% ground ball rate and I doubt that carries over tonight. LUIS CASTILLO (DK: $8600, FD: $9700) … Huh? What are we missing here? Is this a trap spot with the pricing given that Atlanta is in one of their swing and miss at everything modes? For all the blind people who assumed Acuna was 1.1 this year, how is that strikeout regression off an insanely low 2023 number going? Until Acuna/Albies do turn it on, we attack Atlanta. And yeah, I believe they’ll turn it on soon enough but you simply cannot start your DFS slate tonight without deciding to use Castillo or not. FREDDY PERALTA (DK: 10k, FD: $10.4k) … The one glimmer of hope for the Rays is that they’re not the best team to just come out and fire fastballs against all game long. This team still thinks they can win by trying to out homer everyone even with dead baseballs back in play and maybe Arozarena runs into a long fly ball out to center field and maybe Isaac Paredes does get one out down the left field line. Where the maybe ends is with Peralta giving you a 6 inning, 7 strikeout, 2 ER floor and that’s very solid tonight. Other Pitching Notes Sean Manaea has absolutely ZERO upside. It’s like if Martin Perez and Dallas Keuchel had a kid together. Ragans vs Berrios could be the spot with the sneaky upside scenario but it’s also a one week turn around re-match…...
