The second ‘new’ temporary stadium comes into play tonight as the Urgent Care out in Sacramento opens up for the Cubs and Athletics coming into town. I would like to remind everyone that this is in Northern California and the calendar still reads March, so it’s another cold weather spot and could take time for players to get comfortable playing here. Yes, the stadium is smaller than the one in Oakland and yes the foul territories are no longer extra outs, but lets wait and see before we crown it Chase Field North. WEATHER All clear, but chilly in a few spots. My analysis looking at the options tonight: Ew… Gross… Also, gross… Horrific. What exactly IS this slate? This is one of those slates where no pitcher has a 20 and no pitcher gets -10, they’re all the same. TYLER GLASNOW (DK: $10,000, FD: $10,500) After going through the hitting I found way too many cheap and less than popular hitting options that I’m in love with tonight, which turns into just trusting Glasnow to have a high score against a sleeping Braves offense. TYLER ANDERSON (DK: $7800, FD: $9000) My dark horse option. Anderson and Mikolas will battle to see who can get deeper into the game without a strikeout tonight, but both should go 5 innings without much damage. BEN BROWN (DK: $7500, FD: $7100) My second sleeper option, ranking just below Anderson in terms of risk as the Athletics do have some pop – but they also bring some whiffs & Brown is better upside than going some of the other SP2 options today. OTHER PITCHING CONSIDERATIONS / NOTES Jackson Jobe: How good and how long can he be good tonight? Wouldn’t be shocked if he was good and then imploded with walks. Drew Rasmussen: I think he’ll be great this year… by May. Not yet. PIRATES & RAYS All in on this game. The park hasn’t displayed huge power yet, but that was also the Rockies coming into town. Yes, yes, I know this is the PIRATES who are suddenly running a ton but still, I think we get this one to play better than most other spots tonight. NATIONALS Another ideal park to hit in today and the Nationals vs a mediocre RHP. TIGERS Love Detroit in a way nobody should love any hitting offense going into Seattle. Emerson Hancock isn’t among…...
