WEATHER
No issues but lots of wind except in Wrigley where it’s blowing in finally
FREDDY PERALTA (DK: $9700, FD: $9700)
All in on everything Milwaukee related. You dont bet against a streak they say, well, you also dont bet on the Colorado Rockies and look how that worked out last night, am I right? Anyways. The ace takes the mound and the Twins are going to push their luck with Matthews on the other side. Milwaukee wins in a HUGE way today & Peralta is going to mow through the Twins lineup.
SHANE BAZ (DK: $8300, FD: $8800)
One of the likely safer spots has to be Shane Baz. A guy I have never been huge on, but we’re not worried about the long balls being down in Miami with the roof likely closed.
SUNDAY SLEEPERS
- Zach Eflin and Michael Wacha
OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS
- Cant even consider paying 8k for Mick Abel making his debut. Wanted too, but that would be at 5k, not 8k when he wont get through 5. In the same game, Skenes will continue to get better and has the chance to have his look at me start for 2025.
- I don’t hate either Framber Valdez (Rangers not great vs LHP) or Jack Leiter in the game that is “early” but on the main slate.
This builds up as a slate with lots of 2 run homers and that’s all you get for the inning. The pitching is bad enough that nobody is avoiding their tough matchups but good enough that they’ll avoid the Tanner Houck stat line.
- Two struggling offenses who should wake up are Cleveland and Cincinnati. Small park and good weather aside the lefties Abbott and Ortiz aren’t guys I’m scared of attacking
- Can Baltimore get back to Orioles on Sundays? It is Soroka after all, he pitched well last time so hard to finally think the Birds get right
- Braves and Boston is also a game with good pitching but some hot bats. Have to think Ozuna or Riley get one before leaving Boston
