This is a nice clean Monday slate to start off the week. We’ll be skipping the wrap around game that the Mets and Nationals are playing today and also miss out on the Twins in Cleveland, but have SIX games on the MAIN slates with no weather concerns.
WEATHER
No issues.
JP SEARS (DK: $8700, FD: $9800)
Texas approach vs LHP will once again be to roll out nothing but RHH. It lowers Sears strikeouts but really the Texas RHH aren’t doing jack shit. Being at home could help, but I just don’t see it tonight.
DUSTIN MAY (DK: $9500, FD: $9300)
Good pitching matchup with May and Cabrera. Two talented guys that are a little overhyped. Advantage for May in the obvious lineup vs the Marlins — outside of Agustin Ramirez who is in a cloud still after his promotion last week.
OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS
- Jack Flaherty is ok. Not great. I’ll ride and die with Sears/May.
- Nobody should ever care much for Andre Pallante & he’s in a small park, but we can trust him tonight.
TIGERS
Greene, Torkelson, Carpenter, Baez
Definitely touting the Tigers way too much this April, lets get it over with boys – make us some money in a park Riley Greene loves.
DODGERS
Ohtani, Betts, Muncy, Conforto
Put away the Cubs series and does it feel like the Dodgers are just ignored? They had their little hiccup on Friday with the Pirates but then got it going Sat/Sun. Now the Marlins come in. Do we remember how badly Shohei destroyed them last season? Duh, I mean, he should destroy them. And as good as Cabrera is hyped, he won’t get through the lineup a second time.
