CONTENT UPDATE: There will be no article on Thursday, June 20th. I’ll be driving in the late afternoon and looked at the slate of games that day and wont be forcing an article for the afternoon. WEATHER SF/CHC: Wind out again in Wrigley for the Giants/Cubs TB/MIN: Flood watch, heavy rain. PPD Risk. ALEC MARSH (DK: $7600, FD: $8800) Homers have bitten Marsh at times, but this is a great spot to avoid that damage today. Expect a very clean game with 6+ IP, 6+ strikeouts, a win and limited damage against him. We lock him in on a thin pitching slate on the top end. FRAMBER VADLEZ (DK: $9300, FD: $9400) Should be able to navigate through the White Sox. He’s better on the road. TANNER HOUCK (DK: $10,300, FD: $11,000) Houck is your best arm today and he is priced as such. Toronto’s one of the worst lineups going right now as well, so he should be able to put that Hook Ta all over the Jays tonight. I’ll see myself out. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS I really like Walker Buehler today. Really do. Won’t push it though, he just hasn’t looked comfortable. ASTROS Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, Yordan Alvarez, Jon Singleton RED SOX Jarren Duran, Rafael Devers RANGERS Corey Seager, Nathaniel Lowe, Adolis Garcia Always go opposite in the blowout CATCHER Adley Rutschman Yainer DIaz Jake Rogers FIRST BASE Ryan Mountcastle Nate Lowe Jonathan Singleton Andrew Vaughn SECOND BASE Jose Altuve Enmanuel Valdz Miguel Rojas THIRD BASE Not the deepest position, so I would take guys who look really good right now (Riley/Devers) and just put them on a tier above everyone else. 4100 for Bregman in a park the Astros generally hit well in is good value. Rafael Devers Austin Riley Alex Bregman SHORTSTOP Francisco Lindor … Scorching hot Corey Seager Zach Neto Willy Adames OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore Yordan Alvarez Jarren Duran Starling Marte Adolis Garcia OUTFIELD – Tier Two Masataka Yoshida Mickey Moniak Austin Hays Jake Myers JOSE ALTUVE – 2B – ASTROS – CHAIRMAN OF THE DONGERS CLUB Corey Seager – SS – Rangers Austin Riley – 3B – Braves Ryan Mountcastle – 1B – Orioles Jarren Duran – OF – Red Sox Starling Marte – OF – Mets Yordan Alvarez – OF – Astros Will Smith – C – Dodgers BONUS…...
