Does anyone remember when one of the DFS sites (I think it was FanDuel), tried to do AL-only and NL-only DFS slates for five seconds? And what a terrible idea that was given that we’ve had interleague play now for, oh, I dunno, it seems like a lifetime for many. Well, this is a slate with 9 of the 10 teams being from the Senior Circuit, a random factoid on this slate. WEATHER SF @ CHC: Windy again in Wrigley and HOT. Fucking balls hot. So hot that they’re gonna likely see some pop-up storms roll through there which causes a cluster in the game. Bad pitching going as well. Should be fine… Two Kyles as Kyle Hendricks returns to the mound this afternoon. That should go fantastic for him (not). Everything is going to be focused around the southpaws Ranger Suarez and Tarik Skubal, both get the top dollar treatment and in the case of Skubal the HR risk is not enough to avoid using him as my #1 given that he should do what he does on normal occasions and strikeout 7+. Tarik Skubal (DK: $9500, FD: $11.2k) Kyle Gibson (DK: $7400, FD: $8500) Hunter Greene (DK: $8500, FD: $10.1k) Spencer Howard is an expected opener for the Giants today and I wouldn’t ignore that and the warm/windy conditions in Wrigley. That 16-13 game is coming, but not today, but it’s coming when some random AL team comes into town and today will feel like a warm-up. CUBS/GIANTS Ramos, Chapman, Bailey Suzuki, Morel, Hoerner, Buschhhh REDS Steer, De La Cruz, Friedl I dunno man, the Pirates playing one of their Thursday afternoon games just sounds like them getting their ass whipped. Whatever… PHILLIES Nick Castellanos, Trea Turner RIP to Willie Mays, thank you for the great career and the Nick Castellanos anytime HR pick.
