Tuesday has arrived, and after a short 8-game slate, you might expect a nice big 13, 14, or even 15-game slate, right? Unfortunately, that’s not the case. It’s frustrating to see that the 6:40 and 7:05 lock times mean different slates from DraftKings and FanDuel. What’s even more annoying is that the 6:40 games include some really good matchups that we want to play. I admit though that as I get older, I appreciate the earlier start times so that I can be passed out by 10 PM on some nights, dreaming that my bet with a team up by 5 runs is going to cash, only to wake up and find out they blew it. Alas, here’s what you need to know about the 6-game Turbo slate, even though we should be boycotting it for DFS. The Turbo slate does not include the Mets at the Guardians, where Francisco Lindor is going to hit a home run tonight. Take the over there. The Banged up RANGERS are in Philly to take on another lefty, a spot they have really struggled with of late. Ranger Suarez is pitching lights out and should have one more big one in him tonight. San Diego is the top team on the Turbo slate. Love Profar, Machado and Kim. Logan Webb is SP2, Joe Ryan is SP3 and yes, Patrick Corbin vs the Twins is going to end poorly. WEATHER All games should play tonight, but Baltimore @ St. Louis will have to hurry before storms come through. Windy out to LCF in Wrigley with day time temps near 90 degrees. CASEY MIZE (DK: $6700, FD: $7700) This will be career start #48 for Casey Mize, which is almost two full seasons and we’re seeing him settle into what he should be. A reliable pitcher who can throw 90-100 pitches, will not get blown up in most parks and should keep his walks down while getting lots of ground balls. He is a poor mans Sonny Gray in many ways and when there is a group of options like tonight which lack security up top he is my favorite option. Kansas City is actually a K% boost in my mind, they’re gonna swing aggressive here and help him get ahead in the counts. GARRETT CROCHET (DK: $9500, FD: $10k) On the flip side, someone with a ton of strikeout and boom or…...
