Eleven (11) game slate with one notable game time as the Red Sox/Cardinals are playing at 1:05 EST, but a local Noon start time there in St. Louis.   WEATHER Good weather overall Roof should be closed in Miami. Assume roof will be closed in Arlington & Houston.   CORBIN BURNES (DK: $9600 / FD: $9700) The Orioles certainly are pleased with what they have gotten out of Burnes thus far.  You cannot underestimate how valuable taking the mound every 5 days, giving 6 innings, allowing under 3 ER and staying under 100 pitches is.  I mean, just ask the Royals, they’ve gotten that exact performance out of Seth Lugo!!!  Alright, so there was a slight jab in there at Burnes, but he was the first guy I thought of today in terms of having a bust out “ah shit, why did I fade him” performance.  The Mariners on the season rank among the highest in K%, but of late they’ve done better against RHP, which hopefully is the one way his ownership stays down.  Because, I don’t see them continuing that today and Burnes should hav ean 8K performance, with potential for 12 if the Orioles do let him go into the 100’s on the PC.   Burnes > Nola… NICK PIVETTA (DK: $8000 / FD: $9200) I really like Pivetta today, almost enough to really rank him #1 overall beacuse it feels a little uncomfortable.  The kind of uncomfortable that makes it even that much better.  The guy below him here is the chalky option in the same price range, but when we plug in the data elements around pitch mix and splits, Pivetta actually has an equal opponent ranking. His recent form is good, the start time is early here, and I trust we’ll see a quick, clean game from the tall righty.   St. Louis is hitting better of late, but still the Cardinals. CARLOS RODON (DK: $8400 / FD: $9800) Carlos Rodon is the guy who stands out as a likely favorite pick today and I don’t have much bad to say about him other than he’s gotta face his former team — which given the team, could turn out to be a big fuck you spot.  Obviously the White Sox are as bad as they come, and aren’t showing much of any life at turning things around. THE SUNDAY SLEEPER SIXTO SANCHEZ (DK: $6000 / FD:…...
