Hello from the lake, it’s a great Sunday, it’s hot and the Rangers are not on the main or tilt slate today, so that’s a good thing. The bad news is this. Tomorrow is depressing. Shit, Tuesday and Wednesday are somewhat depressing as well. I’m speaking from a MLB scheduling standpoint because of the 4th of July there’s almost no games tomorrow and no real day slates on Tue/Wed which is just blasphemy for the first week of July. This is significant of note because with almost everyone having tomorrow off you can maybe see more regulars in the Sunday lineup(s) today and some of the rain games will wait it out possibly. WEATHER A couple dicey spots today to monitor. Marlins at Phillies … It’s dicey mostly because we have a divisional game, but as noted, no games tomorrow for either team so they should be patient & play. Padres at Red Sox … Same deal here, just not as bad. Astros at Mets … Same situation HUNTER GREENE (DK: $8500, FD: $9900) … You know, you tout a guy who is decent once all year and thats the game he dominates and now you suddenly feel you are the one who knows him better than the woman who brought him into this world. That’s me here wanting a piece of another dominant Hunter Greene start. So long as we don’t make a mistake today to Willson Contreras, we’re gonna have as much upside as Peralta, Suarez and others but less ownership and less salary cost. He is destroying lefties and should handle Arenado/Goldy. FREDDY PERALTA (DK: $9800, FD: $9700) … First looked here and felt Peralta is a lock for 7 strikeouts — his prop is 7.5, he’s gonna go over it probably now that I think about it more. A homer or two is not that bad here since he isnt 11k and should have a high strikeout ceiling. TAJ BRADLEY (DK: $8200, FD: $9500) … Normally we do not heavy pick on the Nats for strikeouts, but their rates over the last few days are higher and Tampa pitchers usually do well at home. Other Pitching Notes (i.e. Guys I considered) Garrett Crochet — Freddy P is just more likely to get there, the price is close and he is fine too. Kyle Freeland — Not the type of guy who can suddenly string…...
