I was thinking of doing something drastic and taking off Sunday’s which once were my favorite day and of late have become a drag. Then I saw deGrom, Ray and Tomosuki pitching today and here we are my friends. We have site synchronicity on this fine Sunday, so enjoy that as well. I’ve seen a decent amount of chatter already about juiced baseballs being back and it’s not just from the gambling/DFS crowd. This shouldn’t be a shock. Of course MLB would want scoring and attention to their sport to be high at the start of the season as this is when everyone is going to try and pay attention and will be interested in attending games early before going along with their lives. Expect it to remain random and then around the 5th of April we’ll start to get into that 1-2 week stretch of smashing unders. I’ll grow concerned when Scooter Gennett hits 4 HR in a game. WEATHER Angels at White Sox: Slight chance of storms in the afternoon. Twins at Cardinals: Chance of delay here. Despite deGrom being back there’s no temptation for me to use him. I think the price on him is fair but the length concerns are real and while Boston hasn’t really gotten going yet, they’re still dangerous enough to not really feel like that’s a must own spot. We have Aaron Nola day game and on the road once again, something that usually has some risk associated with it. Warm weather in DC with the wind blowing out. If it was May, I would trust Nola’s upside more, but Washington’s gonna be decent vs RHP and not LHP, so we avoid it here. Today is a slate when I just go with guys who are basically what we would normally consider ‘Sunday Sleepers’ TAJ BRADLEY (DK: $8200, FD: $9600) Hard to evaluate Del Boca Vista Park so far as these two offense are just battling it out for who can suck the most through opening weekend. Gotta think Bradley has as good of a chance of anyone at having a big strikeout day. MICHAEL WACHA (DK: $7800, FD: $8200) Sounds like Jose Ramirez could sit out today if Cleveland plays it safe. A big help obviously if so and there’s reason to think Bibee is chalky making his debut today after a sickness scratch on Opening Day, so pivoting to…...
