More schedule adjustments today. Toronto at New York playing a double-header and then the Reds and Rockies game is only on FanDuel.
WEATHER
Late April cold fronts moving through, so nothing in the 80’s today & a couple games that have wind in them.
- Blue Jays at Yankees: Game 1 will have strong winds blowing out to RF
- Mets at Nationals: They’ll have strong winds blowing in
TYLOR MEGILL (DK: $7700, FD: $9100)
It has not been a common spot for us to attack the Nationals as they’ve got good young bats & do not strike out a ton. But with their recent struggles overall and the wind today I think we can take Megill who is pitching very well in 2025. He has a strong pitch mix too which should be his advantage against the younger bats and handles LHH well.
JOE RYAN (DK: $8500, FD: $9500)
The Angels might not score a run today. This lineup is hot garbage after Trout leading off.
MAX FRIED (DK: $9500, FD: $10,300)
I was not in love with Fried on the big Saturday slate before it was PPD, but I like him today on the short slate with the wind blowing out? Sure. I don’t know. Maybe it’s what I had for dinner last night or extra drinks, shoot me. It could also be that Toronto’s ice cold offensively and then just had to take a day off due to the PPD. They’ll be lucky to score 3 runs today.
GUARDIANS
Our top hitter today is Jose ‘Bubba’ Ramirez. Bello won’t be able to strike him out and theres a great chance that one or both of Kwan/Nolan Jones are already on base so walking Ramirez isn’t great either. Either way, the full package of Kwan-Jones-Ramirez-Manzardo with old man Santana hitting 5th sets up Cleveland to Ambush Bello.
UPDATE: Angel Martinez hitting 2nd and Jones 4th. No Manzardo. Still all in on Cleveland
TIGERS
Many times we could look at this and say, this is the spot Baltimore steals one when nobody expects it. But sadly even I cannot go to that extreme. Baltimore cant hit, they cant pitch, they can’t defend, they cant do shit right now. Dean Kremer might be good for 3 innings, might, but I doubt it. Eventually Carpenter/Greene/Tork get a few big hits here. Even Dingler.
OTHER IDEAL HITTING SPOTS
- Gut feeling says Astros/Royals explodes today. Logically it should be the pitchers you want, they’re both good/doing well but I have a feeling things go south for both guys today.

- Salvador Perez
- Gary Sanchez
