WEATHER Phillies at Braves: Storms that could come in late in the game, so nothing really to worry about here. There is enough mid range and value hitting today that you can pay up for the comfortable/secure pitching, but we also have a group of SP2 candidates who could get on a large enough roll to deliver value. Let’s dive in. THE HEADLINERS TARIK SKUBAL (DK: $10,500, FD: $10,700) Lets just go ahead and call Skubal the Grim Reaper today because after the horrific late loss by Cincinnati on Saturday and the impending sweep at the hands of the Tigers today I gotta think someone with some testicles in the Reds front office is going to go ahead and finally pull the plug on David Bell after it feels like he has been there forever without any significant results. The Reds went into Yankee Stadium and somehow swept the Yankees making everyone think they were about to get hot. Sorry, they are not. Elly flips to his bad side in the RvL match-up, Tyler Stephenson hasn’t hit since May and Jeimer Candelario burned out before the legend ever did. They suck. Ignore Skubal’s recent mediocrity no the road. NATE EOVALDI (DK: $9000, FD: $9700) We know that when Nate is on and feeling good he is viable to have a very high strikeout upside. The CSW% has been average the last few starts but his command of the zone is really good of late and when I’ve seen this from Eovaldi in the past he generally continues it for a while. He’s healthy, the Rays swing a ton and he should throw 7+ IP again today. My Sunday Sleeper Spencer Arrighetti … If this moron comes out and throws fastballs/cutters to the Twins then just ship him back to Single-A ball. He has a great curveball and should utilize it effectively on the Twins lefties to tame a hot offense. This is my Gut call of the day. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS Zack Littell: This is the best cheaper SP2/safe route. Weather won’t be an impact with the roof closed, he is sub 7k & has just two guys that are concerns (Adolis/Seager). He can be good. He shouldn’t be negative. Kyle Gibson: The Cardinals desperately need some length out of a starter. They had three straight extra inning games and then Lance Lynn got lit up obviously yesterday. This also falls…...
