WEATHER All clear, roofs should be closed for the Astros and Rangers home games tonight. Unlike the early slate, I see distinct pay up teams that I am backing tonight and so you can take a gamble on a second cheap pitcher on DraftKings today because while these three are the best options, they aren’t dominant options. Corbin Burnes (DK: $9400, FD: $10,600) … Do not panic if/when Burnes gives up 1 or 2 ER in the first inning. He will do what he does and settle down on his way to 6 full innings and 7 strikeouts. Shota Imanaga (DK: $9800, FD: $10,300) … The one Asian transfer to America pitcher that I have really liked. The Mets do not strike-out much vs LHP though and so our ceiling is pretty limited due to that and him not being a 100+ pitch guy. Kutter Crawford (DK: $8600, FD: $9700) … Here’s a list of the Giants bats I trust after they F****D us last night… End of list. We need whiffs here, because when Crawford does get hit the ball manages to find grass. His K prop as of this morning is 5.5, so double down on the over there. Other Pitching Thoughts For cheap options I would rather take a gamble on Dakota Hudson, who has legit big league experience than second start Roddery Munoz given that Munoz was pretty lucky IMO in his spot start in a double header on April 20th. Andrew Heaney…. Eh… Sure, fine. I get it. ASTROS Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, Yordan Alvarez Looks like Altuve and the rest of the Astros got some good stuff when they were down in Mexico (if you know what I mean). Hey, serious question here. Does Altuve go to a Pediatrician when he is sick? I mean, he cannot take the adult dosage for medicine right, it would most certainly kill him? Do midgets get the same dosage as the rest of us? How exactly does that work? Oh, and they’re facing a dead arm guy who might be thinking his arm isn’t dead after two nice starts. Houston is going to destroy McKenzie and then stop scoring and blow the game in the bullpen when Jose Ramirez hits a grand slam to make it 7-6 Cleveland… RANGERS Corey Seager, Nathaniel Lowe, Evan Carter I am not sure how Corey Seager does not hit…...
