WEATHER
A few spots could see delays in game tonight but only one could see a full on delay/PPD and that’s Dodgers at White Sox. Oh, that’s because of the rain, not because Chris Flexen is going to get murdered by the way. No sense in stopping the game in the south side for a murder or anything.
You would think that a near full Tuesday MAIN slate (12 games) would produce us with tons of high end pitching options, but while there are some ‘names’ out there, nobody is above $9800 on DraftKings tonight and barely above 10k on FanDuel. It’s really one of those B-level spots.
MACKENZIE GORE (DK: $8800, FD: $9500)
Gore makes his return to PETCO park, now as the Nationals ‘Ace’ and I firmly believe he is going to come out aggressive against his former team who really should have never traded him away — for nothing.
TYLER ANDERSON (DK: $8200, FD: $9100)
If Anderson can be close to his last start then maybe we’ll not sweat this one out too much. The Athletics are hitting sub .200 against lefties over the last week and really for the season they aren’t much higher. Brent Rooker and Tyler Nevin (not homering again) are the power bats the first time through who could hit him hard, but the strikeouts are going to be higher than normal for Anderson. I like the under first five here as Mitch Spence ($6600) should pitch well too
HUNTER BROWN (DK: $8000, FD: $9200)
Brown is pitching lights out and of note he is really thriving on shutting down bad lineups. There’s three guys who I think are going to hit well in Houston in Ezequiel TOvar, Ryan McMahon and Nolan Jones. If you want a contrarian/leverage stack that trio is a potential high upside play — but there’s likely a 6 to 7 strikeout performance coming from Brown tonight as well. He is third on my list as I want to fade him, but the other options just aren’t that great.
ASTROS
Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, Yainer Diaz, Mauricio Dubon, Joey Loperfido
This could be one of those throwback Houston stacks where you regret not having the bottom of the order guys each hitting a HR as well. We’re not in Coors, but it might feel like that for Gomber against the RHH.
DODGERS
Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Andy Pages, Miguel Rojas
Chris Flexen deez nuts. That’s all.
RANGERS
Seager, Lowe
A cold Corey Seager has ratings that are off the charts tonight and buying him at the reduce $5100 price is a no brainer. Adolis Garcia got off the cold bench last night and tonight Seager follows suit.
OTHER NOTES
- REDS: Kinda have to go back to the well here in Cincinnati, it’s gonna be extremely warm/humid once again and both pitchers can get into trouble — although Greene is better at getting out of it
