WEATHER All games good to go tonight, but with a chance for delay in the Jays/Chi-Sox game. It’s Aces Tuesday and this doesn’t even include some good guys going in the Turbo slate set of games. The pricing tonight on DraftKings, unfortunately is going to lead to some high ownership on a few arms, or so it should. Combined with a game in Coors and some higher $ DK teams that are my favorites I don’t see going into the Wheeler, Peralta, Ragans bin to pay up tonight when you have plenty of other options who are “mid range” but should be up higher… KEVIN GAUSMAN (DK: $8500, FD: $10,200) This is the top one and the most important decision you have to make in your lineup(s) tonight. With Gausman, you’ll likely just be taking the 40%+ chalk and probably in my mind getting a 25+ DK FPTS output as he should grind through the White Sox lineup without many bumps and finish with 8-10 strikeouts, upside into the 30’s and maybe even a fuck you game where he drops a 40. Fade him and pray he gets blown up early like it’s a Sunday afternoon, which it is not. So, uh, yeah, we’re not fading it. MAX FRIED (DK: $8800, FD: $9800) Next up, the lefty who I said should be 10k about 3 weeks ago and hasn’t even made it above 9k. Sure, the Nationals are pesky, but a crafty lefty is going to limit them today and find his way through 7 innings without much of a sweat. JESUS LUZARDO (DK: $8000, FD: $9600) Next on the DK chalk train is Luzardo, who returns to the west coast where his career began but now to face the Padres which are really bad against lefties for the better part of the last month. This one could come in lower just because people do not trust the Marlins, and I do not trust him vs Machado to be honest. Yet, the rest of the lineup we should. Other Pitching Thoughts For cheap darts, Matt Waldron is tempting at $6200 vs Miami in PETCO. Really everyone else you want is close enough to Fried/Luzardo/Gausman, so just go them. Some Updates: Giants have swapped out Spencer Howard for Erik Miller. Smart move fellas. This removes all love for the Phillies tonight for me. PHILLIES Just opening up…...
