WEATHER
No issues seen.
Continuing with the trend of pitchers making their 2024 debuts today we have Kodai Senga on the mound to try and keep the Mets momentum going. Paul Blackburn is also back for Oakland tonight. Neither of which are tempting enough to justify using.
BRADY SINGER (DK: $8100, FD: $9000)
The Cubs can’t hit, don’t wanna hit and are about to just quit. Great managerial hire there Chicago … just brilliant. At any rate, the ASB likely did Singer a perfect amount of rest after that one rough Sunday afternoon start in hot Boston. KC guys pitch well at home and he should be a 6 inning Quality Start lock tonight. If he was 10k, it would be silly, but I doubt we find many better pt/$ picks tonight.
GEORGE KIRBY (DK: $9600, FD: $10500)
Speaking of bad Chicago teams. Kirby gets the White Sox, which is good enough to offset the Seattle pitcher decline by going away from T-Mobile park.
SONNY GRAY (DK: $9300, FD: $10.8k)
My gut instinct is to not be a sheep and chase right against the team that is coming off a no-hitter, but Gray is not likely to give up 4 HR two stars in a row and you are hard pressed to find someone that’ll give you the floor he does.
LATE ADD / DONT MIND

FADES
Kyle Harrison: I like Colorado to actually be pesky tonight.
RANGERS – Marcus Semien, Robbie Grossman, Wyatt Langford
The Kikuchi regression has been showing signs of popping off with 11 ER in his last two games. He’s not gonna go negative tonight because Texas is still oddly bad against LHP – but they have power and believe it or not this is a great park shift too for Texas.
ROYALS – Bobby Witt Jr, Vinnie Pasquantino, Michael Massey
They hit much better at home, especially on Friday nights this year and it’s continuing a long home-stand post the break which I think really helps a younger lineup like this.
ORIOLES – Gunnar Henderson, Ryan O’Hearn, Colton Cowser
One day after throwing a no hitter, we get Adam Mazur and he has been one of the worst arms consistently every time out. He’s basically Mr. automatic give up 3-4 ER through the first 5 innings. Baltimore’s kinda warm tonight which is also why I am off Grayson Rodriguez & so I expect the ball to carry well here.
OTHER TEAMS I LIKE/Considered
Mariners — Polanco, Haniger, Raleigh
Diamondbacks — Carroll, Marte
Dodgers — Ohtani, K.Hernandez
CATCHER
- Cal Raleigh
- Gary Sanchez … Should get a start vs the LHP and is good value
- Shea Langaleirs
FIRST BASE
- Vinnie Pasquantino
- Shohei Ohtani
- Ryan O’Hearn
- Luis Arreaz
SECOND BASE
- Adam Frazier / Michael Massey … You got some good BvP with Frazier and he is cheaper but Massey’s 2 RBI double is gonna look nice too.
- Marcus Semien
- Jorge Polanco

- Jake Burger
