Welcome to a Saturday night in August but no NFL Pre-season on to distract you, so it’s just this fine 10 game slate to play with.   WEATHER White Sox at Twins:   Late game storms, which could force a suspension or really late finish, but game will play.   Who is facing the White Sox today and do they have a pulse, one arm and XY chromosomes? BAILEY OBER – Great!  Next question. NON “FACING WHITE SOX” PITCHING OPTIONS … There’s a few old faces in new places tonight that all grade out kinda well.  I’ll slide past my usual hesitation to use a pitcher changing teams in his first start and give these guys a long glance. JACK FLAHERTY (DK: $9800, FD: $10,500) … The Athletics vs RHP have a K% over 30% in the last week & Flaherty should not fall off by now wearing Dodger Blue.  He might even be higher ranked than Bailey Ober tonight if we are being honest. MARTIN PEREZ (DK: $6200, FD: $7400) … I would be shocked if the Padres lost two in a row to the Rockies and newly acquired Martin Perez gets to make his home debut in pitcher friendly PETCO.  More importantly it’s a favorable Colorado lineup that he can get soft contact from to be 5 to 6 IP with limited damage in consideration as a cheap SP2.     TAMPA BAY RAYS Brandon Lowe, Josh Lowe, Jose Caballero, Kameron Misner We start things off with a team and a stack from out in left field.  The chairman is in here and if you can spot him now then congrats to you. NY METS Brandon Nimmo, JD Martinez, Jesse Winker Jose Soriano is keeping the ball in the park but he’s getting hit and using up too many pitches.  The Mets can get 3-4 runs off him and then feast on a bad/tired bullpen here as well. PHILLIES Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, Brandon Marsh Alright so the weather in Seattle is worth noting.  It was warm last night with the roof open and should be that way again tonight.  Unusual conditions for what we have seen in Seattle and this falls into the opposite theory after a blowout category.   OTHER TEAMS I LIKE Red Sox — They could have another big game and Devers is locked in. Giants/Reds Padres   CATCHER Kyle Higashioka J.T. Realmuto Christian Vazquez…...
