Alright, so we have a decent sized 4PM slate which is taking the role of the ‘Main’ slate on both sites. On DraftKings they’ll have the second game of the Orioles and Red Sox doubleheader which won’t start until 6:35 PM.
WEATHER
- NYY @ COL: Chance of storms or showers
- MAX FRIED (DK: $8300, FD: $11000) … This is just a drastic error by DraftKings which is factoring in Coors Field elements far too much. If this game is clear of weather issues then Fried is the best play of the day in my mind.
- FRAMBER VALDEZ (DK: $8900, FD: $10.2k)
- JACK LEITER (DK: $7400, FD: $8400)
CUBS & REDS
This is one of those series where you ride it all weekend. There are no weather issues here & I don’t really trust Andrew Abbott to pitch a 5th straight game without allowing a HR. For the Reds though, they’re bound to keep hitting against this Cubs pitching all weekend, so dont ignore them.
Favorite Bats: Ian Happ, Nico Hoerner, Matt McLain, Elly, TJ Friedl
