Breaking news. FanDuel got it right today. Not only did they do the early slate correctly (5 games), but they merged the two Turbo time window games into the MAIN slate tonight as their MAIN locks at 6:45. DraftKings meanwhile is the incompetent ones with no Mariners/Red Sox and no Orioles/Nationals included — despite the “juiced ball” game in Wrigley being on the table. For tonights slate, I feel very contrarian in terms of the offensive spots I will be attacking. You have been warned. Either ride the contrarian ship or go with the chalk. WEATHER All clear LOGAN WEBB (DK: $10k, FD: $10.8k) Webb has gotten 10+ swinging strikes in each of his last four games as he is having an excellent start to the 2025 campaign. He’s one of the top 5 pitchers right now in Baseball and we should treat him as such when at home in a night game. San Francisco will bounce back tonight. MICHAEL LORENZEN (DK: $7300 FD $8200) The battle of average versus bad, and Lorenzen is the average side. If Colorado wants to roll out all those lefties tonight then that’ll play just fine for Lorenzen. I wouldn’t be shocked if he put it together and was 6 IP strong with 0 ER allowed because that’s how shitty Colorado is. And yes, he should be chalky. KUMAR ROCKER (DK: $6900, FD: $7900) Roll the dice in a hitters park against an offense which is sneaky good and has the new shiny toy that probably homers off him. Throw all that out the window and recognize that Rocker’s got good command of late to pair with his high strikeout potential. He’s a considerable option to pivot off Lorenzen. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS I don’t mind JP Sears (lefties vs Rangers are still doing good) Freddy Peralta is alright as an SP2 with Logan Webb, but only in a game stack scenario. He won’t out do Webb. I warned you about pitchers against the Pirates this week. No Kochanowicz! CUBS Ian Happ, Seiya Suzuki, Nico Hoerner I am really starting to question if the balls in Wrigley are the same as everywhere else. Holy cow, the weather hasn’t mattered, they’re just raking left and right and this is looking like a bullpen game for the Dodgers. WHITE SOX Benintendi, Robert, Edgar “Yo” Quero Taco Bell Mr. Benintendi will hit his Target Field homer…...
