Eight games to kick off the week with two early 6:40 PM games on the Turbo Slate. The Turbo Slate features Paul Skenes on one game and the ice cold Phillies likely losing to the Giants on the other game WEATHER All games play. Mets at Twins: Very windy out to RF but chilly There’s too many good options tonight and a couple that look like clear cut plays. TARIK SKUBAL (DK: $10,500, FD: $10,300) Milwaukee returns back home and they come back with a 38% strikeout rate over their last 76 PA against left handed pitchers. Welcome to the 2025 season Mr. Tarik Skubal, who had his first really good start last week versus the Yankees throwing 87 pitches over 6 innings & allowing 0 ER.

Dylan Cease is coming off a bad start, which makes me like him slightly more tonight and he also could get overlooked being split between Skubal and May at $9800 on DK. He’s a steal on FanDuel at $8400. Joe Ryan, Sonny Gray, Clay Holmes … All okay BRAVES Bryan De La Cruz, Austin Riley, Orlando Arcia The pitching headlines the slate tonight along with a couple really bad “touting” spots for offenses, but this one has me licking my chops like I’m staring at a Tomahawk steak on a Saturday night. Getting a soft tossing lefty who hasn’t allowed an ER through two games will mean they gotta jump on him early to put him into situations he hasn’t experienced at the MLB level yet, so we’re backing this with a…...
