Happy Memorial Day. FanDuel is starting at 4PM for their main slate, and DraftKings runs 1PM through the 4PM window of games today. WEATHER A few stormy potential spots Boston at Baltimore: Fun, I’ll be at a game that should be shortened due to storms. Game starts on time, likely finishes, but may have a delay. Wind blowing well out to left field. Dodgers at Mets: Storms, they should delay but they could wait it out and get it in. Nats at Braves: Pop-Up storms, should be fine. CHRIS BASSITT (DK: $8200) The hound dog has fallen off bad against lefties, but lucky for him the White Sox are VOID of much power from that side of the plate and the Jays lineup is one of my top ones here to continue a nice little heater streak overall for them. Just one week ago he went 7 strong with 0 ER against the same lineup. Logic says he wont shut them out again today, but common sense says he won’t get blown up either. CHARLIE MORTON (DK: $8600) Sad times indeed in Atlanta, they lost the guy who had a career year last year and is back to being a very good player this season. Okay, I’m kinda joking, but in all seriousness the Braves issues are not centered around Acuna. After all, they didn’t need him to win a World Series before, ya know. What they did need is guys like Charlie Morton not sucking against Eddie Rosario, Jesse Winker, Nick Senzel and Joey Gallo. JUSTIN STEELE (DK: $7000) I wouldn’t trust Justin Steele to get you more than Bassitt or Morton. But he probably will get another 12-14 DK FPTS, so he is viable third option. If he finds a way to avoid blowing up then we’ll get back to prior season Steele when everyone was in love with the dynamic lefty. Other Pitching Thoughts After doing my hitting analysis, I found almost zero love for the KC bats today. This means that Mr. Joe Ryan, who has a very high $10,300 price tag on DraftKings logically should be written up as a play here. So consider this that notation that Ryan, yes, likely has a clean game again today. Given how bad Boston has been, Cole Irvin returning to the rotation is not the worst play today. After a long night on Sunday Night and…...
