Four early, Ten main and one random game out in Cleveland. WEATHER Nothing significant. A little wind here and there but generally okay. On a weather front It’s opener season ladies and gentlemen. The Athletics, Dodgers, White Sox will all be going with make shift setups today. GARRETT CROCHET (DK: $10.5k, FD: $10.6k) Tough park, blah blah blah. Jays dont strikeout, blah blah blah. The walks are Crochet’s achillies heel and in a few weeks when Yasmani Grandal is added onto the roster that will calm down. But he’s not yet, so the walks need to come down for Crochet to be your clear #1 today. Even with the walks out there though, I would not expect Crochet to have two straight rough outings. He bounces back tonight & for that reason is our #1. JACOB DEGROM (DK: $8800, FD: $9400) I am going to take this bait here. It’s a pass night on me for the Webb/Pivetta match-up & Crochet against the Jays will be good and probably an okay pay up along with Peralta too. However, the safety that deGrom should bring is what I trust. Facing the SP twice in a row can be considered advantage for hitting – this however, is a veteran pitcher against a relatively young lineup. Advantage pitcher. 0 runs, and he flirts with a no hitter tonight for 5 innings and then he’s gotta go rest that arm. BRYCE MILLER (DK: $8200, FD: $9100) DraftKings did not help us with a cheap SP2 choice today, so pairing Miller and another mid range (deGrom) option is something you may find yourself doing. Trust him at home even with Trout coming into Seattle for his annual beatdown on Mariners pitching in that stadium. Fine, one guy, we move on and then Miller finishes with 18+ DK FPTS. Tonight, that’s just fine. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS E-Fraud pitches way better than he should, he’s also way more expensive than he should be. Webb/Pivetta are fades Alcantara at 7K is tempting. Very tempting. RED SOX Duran, Devers, Abreu, Story, Casas Bowden Francis against the Sox lefties in this stadium is a disaster waiting to happen. Please explain how Devers is only 4700??? ROYALS / RAYS I would anticipate someone out there thinking Lorenzen is your cheap SP2 tonight. Night game in Tampa making it hard to see? Nah, it’s getting lighter later and I want…...
