WEATHER All games play CHRIS SALE (DK: $10.5k, FD: $11.2k) There are three aces going tonight in Sale, Gilbert and Wheeler, but it is Sale going against the young Reds who pushes us to take a shot on him the most as that 10-12 strikeout type game is just lingering out there tonight. The young reds at the bottom of the order like Marte & Hinds are where Sale wins or loses this game tonight because he should do just fine with the top end. LOGAN GILBERT (DK: $10k, FD: $10.8k) Hard to not just take some high end pitching and go value hunting on the hitting & while I like Wheeler he is not pitching in T-Mobile Park against the Angels like my guy Gilbert here is. COLIN REA (DK: $7400, FD: $8400) If we go for another type of build tonight it would not be fading all 3 of the big arms, it would just be finding one pivot to allow for an easier hitting construction. The Cubs know they are sellers and a lineup with a good amount of guys who don’t know where they’ll be living soon are playing like it. Rea should have a nice boring game which doesn’t hurt us. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS We are approaching the “Darkhorse” pitcher part of the season when a pitcher who has been around long enough to figure things out puts up their one dominant start of the season. I’m not sure I trust many to do that tonight but the public might do this with Jon Gray (DK: $7000). Maybe Jose Berrios has one more of those in him? Yes, Garrett Crochet could be considered as the 4th ace going tonight. I’m not sold. Given the pitching path tonight it’s all about multiple value hitters to formulate a “stack”. BLUE JAYS George Springer, Vlad Guerrero Jr, Justin Turner, Danny Jansen George Springer made a change to his swing and that along with moving back up to the #1 hole has really sparked him to be a stud hitter. He’s white hot and Vlad Guerrero has been the best 1st Baseman over the last 1-2 months as well but they’re both sub 5k. Combined with Turner and Jansen we can fit this full stack in while being in a favorable hitters park and getting a likely bullpen game from the Rays who are quickly approaching play out…...
