WEATHER Brewers at Cubs – Rain/Storms ADD: Twins at Reds – This is an ugly one. Heavy storms in the area but they usually get games in here. Check the wind right at lock, if it is still out heavy to left you could see it blow up … CHRIS SALE (DK: $10.7k, FD: $10.8k) When Sale is on one of his strikeout streaks it’s hard to turn away from him. Back to back double digit strikeout games puts him in line to keep the streak going as he has a history of stringing them together when locked in. We do have storms in Atlanta to monitor, but if there’s a solid 2 hour window break then he’ll be fine to avoid that. The Mets do a good job putting the ball in play vs LHP, but his talent is obviously better than the norm and I wouldn’t over analyze that. KRIS BUBIC (DK: $9500, FD: $10.1k) Another lefty, this one coming off his one bad start this season, but now Bubic draws the Rangers who are not going to change their ways against LHP anytime soon. His only downside is that if Sale is clear of weather issues you probably won’t be going 20k of your DK salary on these two pitchers combined, so this is FD only or pivot off Sale only. TAJ BRADLEY (DK: $7400, FD: $8400) Odd enough that Tampa is one of the more comfortable weather spots tonight, but low 80’s in a night game is just that. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS Jacob Misiorowski ($8500) makes his second start tonight. The flame thrower has weather issues and had command issues at HOME in his debut, so on the road in Wrigley isn’t a spot to jump on him yet. If you want to take a shot in the dark both Bailey Ober and Nick Lodolo have been shaky lately but are trusted enough to go 5+ IP when they aren’t walking the entire stadium. But they are also in a dangerous HR spot, especially Lodolo. YANKEES Any and all of them. The Yankees have been shutout for three straight games. This is like a dog who is house trained that has been stuck inside for 24 hours and is finally let outside to find a tree, bush, fire hydrant or some dude named Jack Kochanowicz to take a piss on…. D’BACKS Grichuk, Suarez, Gurriel, Moreno…...
