We are back, we are back, we are so back.
WEATHER
Look at Major League Baseball finally doing something good here. They are utilizing all the domes early in the season and have games in warm weather spots. No issues.
- Roof open in Arizona again tonight.
YOSHI YAMAMOTO (DK: $9000, FD: $9500)
I will forever be the head of the anti-Asian pitchers in their first year fan club, but I recognize quality going into the second year & Yoshi was good in his first year when healthy. I don’t see why we wont be using quality pitchers against Detroit all season long. They have just too much swing and miss in this lineup.
MITCH KELLER (DK: $7900, FD: $9800)
Hey! The Marlins won a game yesterday. Congrats fellas. I’m not gonna lie though this one really scares me. Keller is going to go one of two ways this season. Either he just settles in and becomes just a guy or he implodes and is out of a job by August.
OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS …
- No Castillo for me. He’s in the Kikuchi boat.
- I expect reasonably decent outings from Cease, Houck and even Springs. None of them are strong enough to go ahead of Yoshi and Keller for me though.
RED SOX
Bregman, Casas, Story
Jack Leiter is being given a full time chance in the rotation which is good because that’s where he belongs over the bullpen. However, it’s also good for us in DFS because he is still not ready and hasn’t been as dominant as his fellow college teammate Kumar Rocker at blowing it by guys in the spring. Expect Bregman/Casas/Story to do some damage today.
DIAMONDBACKS
Smith, Moreno, Carroll
Hearing the Chase Field Roof is operational and open is definitely one of the best things in Baseball. Throwing Jameson Taillon into that mix just adds all the fuel we need for Arizona to drop 10+ tonight themselves. Challenge is the production likely comes from the entire depth of the lineup.
