A really good Thursday afternoon slate with 8 games that start at 1PM and are long done before the lone night game tonight between the Braves & Mets, which is a Showdown spot and honestly a good night to just go do something else.
WEATHER
All clear
It’s hard to ignore the teams who are ice cold offensively as targets today, but we do need to consider the variables of who is facing them and the weather conditions + law of averages.
A sleeper pick today if the weather holds off is Simeon Woods Richardon, not a guy I would normally be high on but this is a classic get away and get home to end a long road trip spot for Seattle to come out and put up an egg.
- HUNTER BROWN (DK: $11,300 – FD: $10,200)
- SIMEON WOODS RICHARDSON (DK: $7200 – FD $7300)
- HAYDEN BIRDSONG (DK: $8000 – FD $8200)
We’re still a couple weeks away from the All-Star Break but some teams really look like they could use a trip out of the country right now. Specifically the Royals, Giants and the Phillies couldn’t hit a ball into the ocean if they were standing on the beach right now. Like, it’s really bad.
So is the cure a getaway game with warm afternoon weather? One would think that could help but the Royals & Giants are at home and neither can hit at home to save their life. Christ, the Royals havent WON a game at home the entire month of June!
We have to be smart, we have to stay away from those who just plain ole suck right now, despite matchups… We have to be smart…
I repeat… We have to be …
