Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s out there and may your MLB DFS and Betting journey be a profitable one today. Or, if not, just imagine that MLB DFS is that extra kid you never planned on having but wound up with and now you are just spending more money to bring joy to their faces. You see, it’s all about perspective. Ten game slate on FanDuel as they include the PIrates and Rockies, while DraftKings is just nine games. There is no early, pre-slate, morning game today because the early game is at Wrigley, so thankfully we have a normal 1:05 EST lock. The Athletics/Twins are playing a day-night double header with JP Sears/Bailey Ober set for the early game. WEATHER All games will play today STL at CHC – Warm temps and winds expected to be blowing out to Left Center Field. Normally a big boost for the offense. BEN LIVELY (DK: $8300, FD: $8700) The Guardians organization knows how to teach pitching. Lively’s lowered his walk rate, raised his K% and the results are that he’s been a quality pitcher. The Jays meanwhile are not a quality lineup. The math adds up on this ugly pitching day for him to be in our mix as a top 3 guy. JESUS LUZARDO (DK: $7600, FD: $8900) We will just throw the Luzardo start on June 4th when he posted a nice -10 out the window. There’s one bat for Washington in Lane Thomas who of course has fantastic power vs LHP (and is 7-16 with 3 HR lifetime against Jesus), but aside from that I believe he’ll cruise around the rest of the DC lineup to be ok. RONEL BLANCO (DK: $9800, FD: $9400) Next man up. The Houston Astros are scrambling and just moving guys up in the order, which puts Ronel Blanco actually on our radar today because I think he can do better than Spaghetti did in the last minute spot start yesterday. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS The Marlins approach yesterday (also vs a LHP) was a disgrace and I cannot imagine it being any worse, then again, I cannot imagine it being any better either. So, yeah, Mitchell Parker is probably a correct pick today. Colin Rea, JP Sears and even Kenta Maeda — all “sure” type picks who are cheap, not great, but serviceable today. I dont trust Miles Mikkolas who has…...
