Scheduling pet peeve…. I understand that the Marlins and Mets are going to play multiple times so them playing twice before the middle of April is something we can give a pass on, but the Reds and Giants are starting a series tonight and will be done with each other after the middle of this week. It’s just unacceptable and a major pet peeve I have with how they do the schedule allocations now. This isn’t just a one off occurrence either, it’s going to happen a ton and needs to get fixed. End of rant… WEATHER Could minor spots tonight. No PPD expected. Rangers at Cubs: Snow showers during the day. Temps pushing close to 40. It should play though. Marlins at Mets: We could see rain in the Marlins/Mets game at Citi Field tonight and it’s cold there, but they’ll get the game in unless they’re just trying to be like the Nationals. KODAI SENGA (DK: $9000, FD: $9300) While normally in season we would shy away from using a SP vs the team twice in one week, I don’t have an issue using Senga back at home after he was able to do what he should versus Miami a week ago. It was a 77 pitch outing through 5 IP with a 32% CSW rate and somehow the Marlins got 2 ER off him. I don’t see them getting any tonight in NY and he’ll probably get through 6 innings because of that with similar strikeout results. HUNTER GREENE (DK: $7900, FD: $9600) Just two walks over 12 innings when pitching at home is a great sign for Greene. Now lets go on the road and keep it going in a huge park where he shouldn’t fear the long ball. MICHAEL LORENZEN (DK: $7100) SP2 only for Lorenzen tonight – but his main issue vs RHH the last two years has been when he lets his sinker get torched. The Twins are not really a RH sinker hitting team, so with chilly Kauffman temps tonight I believe he’ll do just fine. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS Michael King is the best option outside of the three above. Still hesitant with this park in Sacramento though, so we’ll pass for now. Logan Gilbert has too much history with the Astros for me to feel confident here tonight. I don’t think he’s a bad pick and think he will pitch…...
