This is a good big main Saturday afternoon slate today and my comments/notes on the evening slate are at the end of this article. Three of the BEST games today are not included on FanDuel, who did what I thought DraftKings would do – but we got a NICE big 11 game slate on DK which locks at 1PM and includes Marlins/Phils, Royals/Tigers, Diamondbacks/Cubs. WEATHER Overall this is a good hitting weather slate with the cames in Citizens Bank Park, Comerica, Camden, Fenway and Citi Field having comfortable situations for hitting. What makes this slate so good is the depth on both SP and hitting spots. We are definitely not deprived of pitching options today. PAUL SKENES (DK: $10.8k, FD: $10.6k) I smell an ELITE Skenes start. His last one was good and most of his starts this year have just been going through the motions to be honest. JOSE BERRIOS (DK: $7400, FD: $8600) Every once and a while I gotta just pull out the “gut feeling” card when touting up someone. This is a big time gut feeling on Berrios. Nice potential for this game to be a SP battle & if so, I trust Berrios who will have a high volume of swings and misses – which equates to put aways to get out of jams and strand runners. GAME STACK PITCHERS? This is not a terrible slate to consider game stacking pitchers and there are two games which might shock you in that regard. We have a cold weather game in Coors Field and then the opposite of yesterday’s late innings in Wrigley — which BTW was an under game early for the starters. CHASE DOLLANDER (DK: $7400) & MACKENZIE GORE (DK: $7800, FD: $9200) We didnt really touch on Gore and Dollander before the PPD announcement yesterday and I guess that was me just assuming the game would be PPD. They’re both expected to just slide into this Saturday afternoon Coors game & although it’ll be cold – we can still trust the pitchers. Gore’s curve ball could get hung up and not get as many swings and misses as one would like — but I trust both guys. ZAC GALLEN (DK: $8300) & BEN BROWN (DK: $7600) Lean Gallen as an isolated play, but don’t hate Brown either. Weather won’t be an insane factor today. PHILLIES Kepler, Harper, Schwarber The Phils have…...
