WEATHER Rain will come in at the back-end of the Orioles and Phillies home openers today, but both games should get in and complete. Cold and Ugly in Chicago for the Twins and White Sox game. Not prime milkshake weather, so I doubt the attendance is much to speak about. Christopher Sanchez (DK: $9000, FD: $9900) … Sanchez is likely going to be the Phillies #2 man by the end of the season. Back him with confidence against the shitty Rockies. Kris Bubic (DK: $7700, FD: $6200) … Bubic is back to a starting pitcher now and it’s wild to think he is the one of the young Royals from 5 years ago that made it this far as a starter with the org (although Singer was close but used as trade bait). Nobody has ever questioned his whiff ability, it’s a matter of him keeping the ball in the park as a starter and pounding the strike zone early. With the Orioles and Phillies playing their Opening Day’s today in decent hitting weather (pre the storms) those are the primary spots that should be looked at as neither is facing much stiff competition on the other side. I would lean the Orioles with Schwarber as the one off from Philly & then after that look at Kansas City or Milwaukee over the likely chalky Twins in cold Chicago ORIOLES — Westburg, O’Neill, Mountcastle Should score a bunch early. Mountcastle and O’Neill definitely going to celebrate the wall moving back in slightly as well. ROYALS — Witt, Pasquantino, Canha One interesting school of thought here. The Brewers obviously got hammered in Yankee Stadium over the weekend and everyone talked about the bats. But Milwaukee pitching led the league in pitches below 90 mph to start the season. Yeah, you hang em, they bang em. Sure, not all curveballs, but you get the jist here. It’s worth dropping a few dimes on this being a Milwaukee problem and not a Yankee thing. PHILLIES — Schwarber, Harper Gotta have one Phil today. Could see the game going under though. CATCHER Should get some value here. Expect Ryan Jeffers as chalk for the Twins in the 3-hole vs Perez Ryan Jeffers Adley Rutschman Salvador Perez FIRST BASE Ryan Mountcastle Vinnie Pasquantino Bryce Harper SECOND BASE Jordan Westburg Bryson Stott THIRD BASE Hate everything about 3B on this slate…...
