WEATHER
Royals at Guardians: Damnit. This is finally on the main slate and weather is going to be a big issue here. High probability they do not play unless they just wait things out.
While a couple of other names could pitch well (Skenes, Paxton, Eflin, Fedde, Soriano), I see no reason to pass on these two guys listed below tonight. Combined together on DraftKings they eat up just 19k of salary, which is up there, but not out there and neither is going to hear those words when pitching tonight as they probably both throw 7 innings of shutout ball… Next question.
- LOGAN GILBERT (DK: $9200, FD: $10200) … I know that I am a bigger Gilbert fan than most, but I don’t see how he fails today.
- DYLAN CEASE (DK: $9800, FD: $10300) … Just as dominant of a match-up as Gilbert and with Cease I like when teams really haven’t seen him much.
OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS
- I am not even considering anyone else.
RANGERS
Langford, Lowe, Smith
Detroit has won the last two nights with some “excuse me” home runs and tonight that flips over to Texas’ side. It’ll feel weird, but a non Semien/Seager Rangers stack is the only way they win you the slate.
RAYS vs MARLINS
B.Lowe, Diaz, Ramirez, Rosario
Jazz, De La Cruz, Sanchez, Bell
Win the crowd and win your Freedom, famous words spoken once many years ago. Well, there’s no crowd here, but win this game and you’ll win the slate. I suspect many will look at Eflin and Garrett for mid range SP options, but I’ll bank on both giving up some damage here.
Other Spots I Like
- Royals … Love Vinnie P, But rain.
- Orioles – Adley/O’Hearn
- Twins/Yankees – Soto, Soto, Soto, Soto, Soto for the Yanks
CATCHER
- Austin Wells
- Adley Rutschman
- Dear God, just pick anyone. Punt here.
FIRST BASE
- Vinnie Pasquantino … I am starting to get optimistic that they play this one and the week of 1B Chairman should go to Vinnie if that is the case, but for now, it’ll be someone else.
- Nate Lowe
- Ryan O’Hearn
SECOND BASE
- Brandon Lowe / Amed Rosario … Lowe better pick given lineup spot & price
- Jake Cronenworth
- Marcus Semien
THIRD BASE
- Royce Lewis … Just an FYI, it’s his birthday…. As you were.
- Josh H Smith
- Jose Ramirez
SHORTSTOP
- Carlos Correa
- Corey Seager
OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore
- Juan Soto
- Jesus Sanchez
- Harold Ramirez
- Wyatt Langford … Kid is about to get white hot, I just hope Texas is a little more patient with him.
- Carlos Correa – SS – Minnesota Twins – Chairman of The Dongers Club
- Juan Soto – OF – Yankees
- Wyatt Langford – OF – Rangers
- Vinnie Pasquantino – 1B – Royals
- Jake Cronenworth – 2B – Padres
The first two players to lock in tonight are Juan Soto and Carlos Correa. From there it’s building around a cheap core (Texas/Miami/Tampa) and rolling with the two stud aces.
