This is what we call a West Virginia slate. Wild and wonderful with 17 total MLB games today and for DraftKings they properly spread it out across 2 slates with a mini Turbo at 6PM as well. The two extra games are Boston @ Cleveland and Baltimore at Detroit playing double headers and both are on the 1PM “Main” slate today as I consider the 7PM the night slate. WEATHER Toronto at New York: PPD CASEY MIZE (DK: $7700) Mize is now almost Mr. Automatic 20 at home. Getting a fair amount of grounders, which is key today with the wind blowing out — but it is to dead center, so expect some long outs when they do lift the ball. HUNTER GREENE (DK: $8900) The “is Greene the best pitcher in Baseball” crowd finally took one on the chin a week ago — and yes, it’s been a full week since he pitched. But this is the Rockies & in Coors the only concern is if they make contact, which with Greene should be limited today. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS Robbie Ray and Tyler Mahle are both 3a and 3b. We know the drill with both, it can go south very quickly and this being a day game in San Francisco reduces the chances they are safe. I like both Gausman and Fried, but rain delay concerns have to be factored in. I want to trust Luzardo and Brown, but I cannot trust the baseballs in Wrigley just yet, although isn’t it funny how the Dodgers leave town and Colin Rea/Tiajuan Walker give us a 4-0 game? I fully expect Simeon Woods Richardson to bean someone on the Angels today. I recommend we nail Zach Neto as payback for Luke Keaschall and then we get Kikuchi nailing Buxton and thus you have the leagues worst ever looking brawl as the Angels and Twins pretend to fight. I could see Jo Adell and Harrison Bader going at it, but otherwise nobody on these teams is throwing real fists… METS Oh My. Brad Lord. Someone pour me up a double shot of Lindor, they know me and Pete Alonso got a history…. Sorry, I had to do it… Early morning showers will be gone and it will be warm & humid this afternoon. I trust the Nationals young kids to hit Holmes as well but the full stack is the…...
