WEATHER
Good chance they find a way to get all six games in today and without any delays.
SHOTA IMANAGA – DK: $10,100; FD: $10,500
It’s finally starting to warm up and that includes Wrigley Field where temps will be in the upper 70’s today, but without any real wind impact. Imanaga, being in the elite tier this year certainly voids him of any major concerns as well. Plus Pittsburgh is very mediocre offensively most days. This is a Cubs blowout.
KEVIN GAUSMAN – DK: $8,300; FD: $9,000
I think this is the first time all season that I have really liked Gausman who had strung together a few good starts before lasting only 3 IP exactly one week ago vs the Twins. The extra rest is of note here and it’s the same thing he has had in his last two starts. This, historically, has been a good thing for Gausman.
Grayson Rodriguez has been activiated from the IL by Baltimore to start today. He’s $8000 on DraftKings and would be an okay pivot off either guy above there.
OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS
- Cheap option Braxton Garrett (5900) should get rocked by the Mets and also should not throw more than 85 pitches.
- So. Yo. There’s a pitcher going today, whom was always someone I had this hope would become good enough to pitch a 5-8 year career. He’s kinda stretching it out to that, but, uh, yeah, he’s not good. But hey, he’s gonna pitch well in Yankee Stadium today. Why the hell is Brad Keller $7100 and not $5000?

CATCHER
There isn’t anyone here who is a good play. Period. I love ya Adley, but I’m not justifying $5700 today, would be smarter to just bet his HR prop.
