I have to get this article out early today and there’s a few questionable pitching decisions that I hope will get cleared up. Specifically what the Blue Jays and Mets are going to do. The MAIN slate also includes the Cardinals/Reds second game of their double header and the Reds appear to be going with Singer early and TBD late. This DH screams go opposite in of game 1 in game 2. WEATHER All clear NATE EOVALDI (DK: $9200, FD: $9700) Big dog Nate is the top and easy SP1 today. One walk over his last 17 innings, pitch count up to 99 last start, at home, young lineup. Really no reason to not think Eovaldi won’t be a safe 6 innings with < 2 ER and > 5 strikeouts. And there is definitely upside here to go off for a 10 K game.

Rules are rules. We don’t use rookie pitchers making their debuts. Not even a homer like me. Blue Jays (Kirk, Bichette, Vlad, Springer) Rays (Diaz, Morel) Cubs (Happ & Full Stack just attacking Pirates pen if they get it early. CATCHER Alejandro Kirk Danny Jansen FIRST BASE Yandy Diaz Vlad Guerrero Jr. Pete Alonso SECOND BASE Bryson Stott Andres Gimenez Nico Hoerner THIRD BASE Yandy Diaz … 3B is kinda bare tonight and he has dual eligibility on DK. Since 1B is very strong, I would play him here if using him. Rafael Devers Alec Bohm SHORTSTOP Bobby Witt Jr. Gunnar Henderson Bo Bichette OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore James Wood Heston Kjerstad Ian Happ Aaron Judge OUTFIELD – Tier II Christopher Morel Do we dare play Joc Pederson finally? Daulton Varsho…...
