Great news, we have the slate starting at 6:40!
FanDuel: Hey, uh, you forgot two games fellas. Yeah, they dropped the Colorado/Oakland and Arizona/LA Dodgers games. You know, the ones which brought us over the cash line last night thanks to the Rockies and Christian Walker/Brandon Pfaadt. Nice job FanDuel. Nice job…. Fucking morons.
WEATHER
All games play
TYLER GLASNOW (DK: $10,600)
This is your smash SP1 today, and would have been a lock button on FanDuel too. With so much cheap SP2 options tonight lock him in and move along.
JESUS LUZARDO (DK: $7800, FD: $9400)
It’s a little disturbing just how good Luzardo’s metrics look tonight vs the Brewers, who come in with a near 36% projected whiff rate, a metric which usually comes through when it’s this high and Luzardo isn’t going to be that limited having made two starts since his brief IL stint. The only other FanDuel option is Blake Snell, but I have to see him trust his change-up with success before I go there this year.
AUSTIN GOMBER (DK: $6800)
Another DK only spot here, and a great SP2 to pair with Glasnow. In fact, I would be shocked if most do not default into this build today for the late night SP1-2 hammer.
PADRES
I am a bit of a sucker for the Padres going into a tiny ballpark and now they face their former SP in Nick Martinez — who is going to give up 2 HR to LHB today and they both might be Jake Cronenworth

Love the Phillies side here too, but factoring in the cost to full stack the team the Rangers are a better PT/$ play

CATCHER

- Korey Lee
