Thirteen (13) game slate tonight with no Marlins/Phillies/Nationals/Rays. Expect a full run of content now up to the all-star break with the exception being next Monday, because MLB has decided to give almost the entire league Monday off as they play on Thursday next week for the 4th of July. Even worse, however, is that the fucking Toronto Blue Jays have an afternoon home game on the 4th of July. What an absolute MORONIC schedule mistake by MLB. I am once again letting everyone know that I am available for hire to build the MLB schedule. Thank you. WEATHER Guardians at Royals – Rain throughout the day but a good chance it goes away for the game to play. This is a pitching slate where you do not need to focus on strikeout metrics as much as you want to focus on a pitcher that is going to get through 6 innings without giving up a TON of damage. Even with a heavy amount of games, there’s not a ton of flame throwers or guys who can come out and dominate the slate. Plus we are into that time of season when it’s warm and the pitchers are slowing down in their ability to just come out and light things up in the first three innings.

LOGAN GILBERT (DK: $9900, FD: $10500) When Gilbert gets into trouble it is generally with home runs biting him and the Twins certainly bring that risk tonight as they’re top 10 in HR in the league and on this slate have the fourth highest ISO. They also have the second highest K% and Gilbert is great at home and pitching better than just about anyone else in the American League over his last four starts, making my AL Cy Young prediction for him look very solid. CHARLIE MORTON (DK: $9500, FD: $8800) Uncle Chuck is sometimes good, sometimes shit. Literally every other start he flips back and forth it seems, which is understandable for someone his age (christ, he is younger than me?). But what we know about an old dog like Morton is that he’ll just throw those breaking pitches over and over and over again – tonight he gets a team who is not great with the breaking pitch and unless they have suddenly found Jobu on…...
