So there is a small Thursday afternoon 3-gamer today and if you do not know what my analysis of it would be then you are definitely living under a rock or have never read my content before. Baltimore at Toronto: Orioles rookie Cade Povich makes his debut, that’s great. The real story here is the Orioles against Yusei Kikuchi. Ryan Mountcastle, vs Kikuchi, in Canada. End of story. Kansas City at Cleveland: PPD yesterday but no DH today, we have Singer on the bump vs the Tribe. Seattle vs Oakland: Call me crazy but I like the offense upside in this game just as much as the other two. Seattle isn’t very solid offensively but they have hit LHP fairly well and a warm afternoon in Oakland should help them out slightly. Early Slate Pitcher Rankings: Singer, Bibee, Woo Early Slate Stack Rankings: Baltimore, Seattle, Toronto Early Slate Bets: Royals ML, Mariners/Athletics OVER 7.5 MAIN SLATE WEATHER All games should play… TANNER HOUCK (DK: $9800, FD: $11000) Houck keeps the ball in the park which will be tested with a windy say in Chicago – but he also dominates RHH this year and the ChiSox best options right now are all on that side of the plate. Keep the walks down and he should have another great outing. HUNTER GREENE (DK: $8200, FD: $9900) I would opt for upside over the safe “Sonny Gray” option (thoughts on him below) out there tonight. Greene has that against a Cubs lineup which was bad and then faced the White Sox, and while I think they should do well in this nice park shift in the series, I won’t bank on that happening tonight. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS Sonny Gray: I absolutely hate using a pitcher who only throws 5 innings and isn’t a free square, but there is also something to be said for not getting blown up, which he gives you. LA DODGERS Freddie Freeman, Miguel Vargas Freeman is looking really good at the plate of late, but Teoscar Hernandez is not. In terms of pay up spots, I would lean Mookie and Freeman. In terms of value, we can’t hate how cheap Miguel Vargas, Kike Hernandez, Andy Pages types are here. BOSTON Raffy Devers, Tyler O’Neill, Jarren Duran I’ve started to take notes on the Chicago White Sox to keep track of which guys are going to be…...
