Although the Cardinals and Red Sox are playing a day-night doubleheader, the early game was not re-scheduled in time to be added onto today’s Main slate.
FanDuel is back to adding in the Coors Field on Sunday this year while DK has kept it off.
WEATHER
- Marlins at Braves: Heavy rain and storms all afternoon could push this divisional game into a DH spot later in the year.
- Chance of rain in Philly, Washington, New York, but all should play
Quite the interesting Sunday pitching build up today. The immediate instinct is going to be to look at names such as Glasnow, Sanchez and Burnes but none of them really have that I’m going to dominate feel to them today & in the case of Glasnow/Sanchez the opponent lineups and facing each other is a cause of concern obviously — but Glasnow should be on our radar as a top SP1 today because the Phils will free swing with the best of them and give him a good enough floor.
TOP TWO
TYLER GLASNOW (DK: $9900, FD: $10.3k)
Sanchez is VERY tempting too, but as long as I don’t see Max Kepler leading off then we are safe for Glasnow to have 7 strikeouts and limited damage against him today. Otherwise, Kepler hits a lead off homer.
RONEL BLANCO (DK: $8600, FD: $9300)
You run away from attacking the Twins after Arrighetti yesterday, I go right back to the well and nobody would want to touch Blanco for his price when there are similar options that are better on paper. Minnesota is not a good team, they are not a good offense and this is not a good hitting environment today.
SUNDAY SLEEPER(S)
WILL WARREN (DK: $6000, FD: $7600)
My make or break spot today. Expect Warren to pitch well with a pitcher friendly park behind him and hopefully better walk rates today. If he stays ahead in the counts he can pitch 6 shutout innings.
KYLE HART (DK: $6500, FD: $7400)
Padres win today
OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS
- I can’t buy into Jackson Jobe at that price, even vs the White Sox. Young pitcher still with a leash and over priced, over chalk, gimme Sox ML today.
- Bubic will be good again for Kansas City — but the strikeouts wont be there this time.
- Burnes is alright, but I don’t use RHP vs the Nationals if I can avoid it.
BLUE JAYS / METS
Vlad Guerrero, Santander || Vientos, Winker, Baty
Our Sunday Citi Field overs are back. Jays RHH vs Peterson look very optimal for all lineups today while the Mets should get contributions from their middle/bottom lineup. Eventually Vientos is going to break out with a bang.
BREWERS
Turang, Chourio, Yelich, Contreras
Indoor spot today is an ideal one to gravitate towards. The one thing Tito Francona has done for the Reds is starting to work on that pitching staff, but he is still limited in options and if Spiers gets run out early then it could turn into a throw away game.
RAYS
Morel, Caminero, Lowe
Christopher Morel HR call off Kumar Rocker. There will be at least one inning where the Rays completely demolish Rocker today around a good amount of strikeouts.
WHITE SOX
Robert Jr, Vaughn, Benintendi
A little leverage 2-3-4 stack to not cost you that much either. If Chicago hits on Jobe it will be by moving the line and not random HR’s.
