Results matter and despite any commentary on Baseballs and inconsistency and Friday night Summer overs, I will just say it like it is. My article yesterday wound up being complete dog shit. The great news is that we have site synchronicity today. Two games in the 1PM early window with New York having their traditional Saturday afternoon game along with the Twins vs Tigers. Then a big 10 game Main slate at 4PM, wrapped up by the small 3 game night cap with the spots in Anaheim, Houston and Atlanta. WEATHER Possible storms in Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Kansas City, Cleveland, Cincinnati but nothing that is going to put a game at PPD risk or even significant concern for pitching … We’ll get to pitching in a moment. It’s humid in a ton of places, but I have lost any hope trying to pinpoint how the Baseballs do act with Humidity in certain stadiums because it’s clear that some days they pull the balls out at 7am from the humidor and other days they’re rushing it immediately (i.e. the 3rd-8th innings when they’re out of baseballs and need a new batch). That said, we are in the business of being predictive and making forward thinking assumptions and decisions which leads me to saying that if you like betting HR props and you like betting YRFI’s then today should be good for you. So, pitching. You could have a guy who walks the bases loaded in the first inning and racks up almost 40 pitches as nearly 45% chalk still manage to finish with a very good score. You could have another guy drop a 45 and he didn’t even have the no-hitter going into the 9th inning. Or you could have pitchers in the games where there are 30 runs. Hey, good luck! I am less interested in which stadiums are good for pitchers or which offenses are cold today. I am entirely focused on the pitcher side of the equation for my choices right now — almost ignoring the opponent — which yes, can be dangerous but that is how I would I see the process going today & likely through until the All-Star Break. OUR BEST CHOICES KUMAR ROCKER (DK: $6500, FD: $7700) I dont like Ray, I don’t trust Bassitt, I dont have the guts to go Lugo. So the #1 spot is going to someone who I atleast…...
