WEATHER It’s only going to be in the mid 60’s in San Diego tonight. Wimps… Lets check in on our options for pitching tonight … MATTHEW LIBERATORE (DK: $8200, FD: $8500) After a long hot weekend in Chicago both the Cubs & Mariners are going to new cities & my law of averages says they’ll cool off just through the natural let down. On a night with terrible pitching options I have no hesitation going contrarian as the Cards and Cubs meet for the first time this year. Just beware of the Seiya Suzuki hot streak now. BAILEY OBER (DK: $7600, FD: $7500) Teased this above. Yes, going to Ober at home vs the Mariners has less than comforting thoughts associated with it, but I caution you to avoid the trap of Mariners pitchers on the road on the flip side here. Ober over Woo. BEST WILD CARD OPTION? The Options above aren’t WILD enough for you? Has to be Chad Patrick vs the Pirates at home. Although the Pirates usually hit well in Milwaukee since they get into a more favorable hitting environment than PNC. Walker Buehler or Mitchell Parker are okay pivots as well. Neither is going to dominate. YANKEES / REDS With the small park and hot temps and the Yanks rolling out Winans this games total has shot up to make it the likely chalky spot tonight & for good reason. Winans has yet to prove that good minor league stretches have any signs of translating into the bigs. But it’s the Yanks who are prime to tee off on Lodolo when they make contact. Goldy always hits well here and so too does Bellinger. NYY: Goldy, Bellinger, Stanton, LeMahieu … I don’t feel like I need to tout Aaron Judge. Thanks… CIN: TJ Friedl, Elly De La Cruz, Gavin Lux, Matt McLain RED SOX Anthony, Abreu, Mayer NATIONALS Wood, Abrams, Garcia, Bell CATCHER William Contreras Tyler Stephenson Drake Balddwin FIRST BASE Paul Goldschmidt Matt Olson SECOND BASE Matt McLain Marcelo Mayer Nolan Gorman THIRD BASE Austin Riley Gavin Lux Luis Rengifo SHORTSTOP Elly De La Cruz CJ Abrams Anthony Volpe OUTFIELD – Mt.
