A normal quiet Thursday evening but this time we have a 5 game ‘MAIN’ slate and thus I think it’s worthy of playing tonight. Tomorrow’s slate and this weekend in general is one of my favorite of the season thus far based on match-ups — very much looking forward to it. WEATHER Rays/Red Sox – Similar risk as last night, which is pretty low. Since it is a very short slate, the ownership boosts even higher on these guys, which means Glasnow-Javier is easily in the category of play or fade without any regard for if they are good plays or not. I don’t like much else, so I say play them. Tyler Glasnow (DK: $10,400, FD: $11,300) Cristian Javier (DK: $7,800, FD: $7,800) NEW YORK METS — Cheap, contrarian and getting a favorable park shift. Three good things to combine together on a slate where you aren’t really winning with a pitching decision. Brandon Nimmo Pete Alonso Tomas Nido CHICAGO CUBS — They have the luxury of having seen Jones just last week & the Pittsburgh bullpen is in complete disarray right now. Seiya Suzuki Cody Bellinger Cristopher Morel Nico Hoerner HOUSTON ASTROS — No whiff Joey Estregen is toeing the rubber, followed by a ‘pen almost as rough in the middle innings as the Pirates right now. It’s been a while since we had that Jose Altuve lead off homer.
