FanDuel has decided to focus more on protesting something, something about Palestine or whatever. Is that the Rays new corner infielder who is going to be called up for a Brawl re-match with the Brewers today? I dunno, either way, there is no FanDuel early slate worth playing, so sorry for ya’ll. WEATHER All games play, no word on if the Bee’s are going to infect any stadiums today. ZACH EFLIN (DK: $8500) or ZACK WHEELER (DK: $11,000) … All lineups today should have either a Zach or a Zack in them. These two front line guys are easily the best options to anchor pitching, and the key decision is obviously paying the extra $2500 on Wheeler. I think there’s enough concern with a day game in Anaheim for us to just go Eflin as the main option but I don’t hate Wheeler at all and expect him to do Wheeler type things (24 fpts) ROSS STRIPLING (DK: $6200) … Pirates’ bats, silent, Can’t score runs, despair sets in, Sadness fills the stands. JOE MUSGROVE (DK: $7500) … Eventually he has to put something quality together, Cincinnati has power but also gives him maybe the best K% upside he has seen all season long. I feel WAY much better about Eflin & Stripling as a combination than going down to cup of Joe, but the price is very tempting if you have extra room — which given the bats I like, you should. Other Pitching Notes Ton of RHB expected for Seattle against Sale, who is a little priced in no mans land between the two Zachk’s… TWINS Carlos Correa, Alex Kiriloff, Max Kepler, Trevor Larnach Beating up on bad teams like only the Twins can do and now they’ll get to give Chris Flexen one of those Flexen deez Nuts starts. ATHLETICS Lawrence Butler, JJ Bleday, Brent Rooker How do we not love the cindarella story of Oakland being competitive in their final season here? A big deal is their bullpen but the cheap bats in DFS find a way to get it done on a nightly basis it seems and I’ve seen enough of Quinn Priester to know he needs to spend more time in confession. PADRES Fernando Tatis, Jake Cronenworth, Manny Machado, Xander Bogaerts Cronenworth is swinging a good bat right now, hard to ignore him with big game potential coming. CATCHER William Contreras…...
