Happy Friday.  Big weekend coming up because I am really curious what the sites do tomorrow with two 1PM games, two 2PM games, a 3PM game that’s not Toronto at home, then four at 4, one at 6 and the rest after.  The folks over at FanDuel might lose their minds tomorrow with the number of slates they’ll be able to come up with. But for now, we focus on a fine Friday with a 12 game MAIN slate tonight. WEATHER Red Sox at Guardians:  They can play this, but there is also an inch of rain forecasted throughout the day and they’ll probably be like, wah, rain, wah….  This is a big bummer if the game is in a delay because then we can’t get a full LiC smash spot for Boston. Roof is OPEN in Arizona, so congrats to the poor souls stacking the Braves if you are into that sorta thing.   You are paying up for pitching today.  Not just because there are good options but the mid-tier or “bad” arms who could pitch well are priced higher than they should be.  This is something that as you get older in life you realize it is worth it to not pay middle or upper-middle tier prices when you can pay the premium.  I’d much rather spend the extra few dollars for my Titlest ProV1’s.  Uber Black, every time.  Give me extra leg room on that plane.  Tip the waiter who serves you best.  Pay for the extra comfort tonight… LOGAN GILBERT (DK: $10,200, FD: $10,200) It’s really going to be hard to pry the Cy Young away from Logan Gilbert if he keeps getting home games against really bad offenses.  A man who was down around 9k for most of the season should likely be a 12k play tonight & with 24 pitching options he’ll still manage to be over 50% owned.  There’s no path to a fade here, we play Gilbert and we move on.  Please ignore that devil on your shoulder who is saying “that never works out”. MICHAEL KING (DK: $9500, FD: $9300) Great at home in comfortable PETCO and someone who is split agnostic so the high volume of lefties from Tampa should not be a concern. NATHAN EOVALDI (DK: $9200, FD: $8500) If Eovaldi was trusted to throw 105 pitches he would be a #1 pick tonight.  Unfortunately there’s a 5 to…...
