Ten game MAIN slate today. Hopefully no trades right before the games today to have to navigate around as teams should be wheeling and dealing more later this evening. WEATHER Nationals at Cardinals: Could get bad storms mid-game. But should finish. BAILEY OBER (DK: $8500, FD: $9700) I don’t know what has gotten into Javy Baez (actually, yes. I do. The guy is obviously cheating so that he can maybe get a quick trade out of Detroit to a different city. This is clear as day and I demand a piss test immediately), but if that’s our major concern then I’ll gladly take that risk. BRYCE MILLER (DK: $9400, FD: $9300) Too many other pitchers on this slate are high risk of not throwing 5 IP and I hate that scenario. So we continue to just take shots at Chicago teams because it will continue to work more than it fails SUNDAY SLEEPER KYLE TYLER (DK: $6500, FD: $6000) I love that everyone is seeing Milwaukee for not really being that good and I tried to give them a chance last night but will not here again today. Both SP in this game are viable but I am betting on the Marlins to finish the sweep. Tyler gets a ton of ground balls and has yet to really struggle with RHH, which is only good strength the Brewers might have right now. He is the best upside on the cheaper SP’s. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS Cole Ragans velo was starting to take a dip & he will be matching his 2023 total IP around today. The Cubs are a favorable match-up for him and he’s still gonna be good but at 10k and with slight rain delay chances I wouldn’t feel like you gotta have him today. This is a 2-2-2 spread it out slate for me. I can’t trust a single team to put up 10+ runs today but the hitting is deep and spread out quite well. BRAVES vs METS … A Saturday night under in Citi Field? System play on the over here. It’s time for Austin Riley’s new dad HR, first inning, followed by Adam Duvall in the second inning and then of course the Mets who are actually the better team at the moment. Game Core: Riley, Duvall, Nimmo, Alonso, McNeil PADRES vs ORIOLES … Do we hammer O-R-I-O-L-E-Sunday’s here? I kinda think…...
