WEATHER Mostly just pop-up storms that could hit in a few spots, but the one which is most likely to be at risk is Phillies @ Braves because Atlanta storms can be violent despite being quick, and even a short 28 minute storm could bump the first of a 3 game series tonight to be played later. The other games which are at risk of a delay in game are in Cleveland, Cincinnati and Detroit. All should start and finish. I only have two main pitchers tonight because I would lock in on them way above the field. LOGAN GILBERT (DK: $10,000, FD: $10,500) Gilbert’s third start since coming off the IL & another one in a climate controlled dome. He’ll be great today, so much so that I’ll go out and call a 7 IP, 0 ER, 10 strikeout outing tonight. JOSE SORIANO (DK: $7400, FD: $9300) No rain issues with Soriano & one of the better strikeout upsides on the slate. He has gotten a ton of whiffs lately and just does not give up home runs. For whatever reason DK has not priced him up at all yet either despite his strong run. OTHER PITCHING NOTES Dustin May (DK: $7800) … Have to mention every SP against Kansas City, but unfortunately expecting May to pitch DEEP is the problem. Brayan Bello: ONLY if Vladdy sits Landen Roupp – I do not trust him outside of San Francisco There’s a reason I say this is Lineups to Target rather than ‘STACKS’, because loading up on a specific stack will sometimes just lock you into blinders or a bad spot too often. However, after a quiet week of offense around the league with a ton of shutouts, the change of scenery and a good configuration of match-ups + warm weather should eventually produce some big 10+ run type games from teams. The teams who stand out to me the most are (in no particular order), the Rays (in Baltimore), Blue Jays (in Fenway), Padres (in tiny Cincy), Cardinals (in Cleveland). STLiC CARDINALS Lars Nootbar, Brendan Donovan, Alec Burleson, Nolan Gorman The Lefties in Cleveland with 90+ degree temps & ole Luis L Ortiz who has given up 8 HR to lefties on the year & a .429 SLG. PADRES Jackson Merrill, Gavin Sheets Former Padre Nick Matrtinez gets the nod for the Reds and he hasn’t throw much…...
