WEATHER
No issues. Weather is looking great this week.
With a short slate I can keep it simple and not try to stretch my picks tonight. They should be chalky, although hopefully some aren’t as high on Webb as I am today. He is my must own against a scuffling Padres team and Flaherty against the White Sox is easily the SP2.
- LOGAN WEBB (DK: $9700, FD: $10.6k) … The numbers for Webb aren’t insanely good, but the guy just manages to find a way to get you what you need because he is always going over 100 pitches & usually gets enough ground balls to get out of jams. San Diego obviously knows him and should get 6+ hits tonight, but with the favorable pitching park elements & most of the Padres asleep at the plate he’s gonna be just fine.
- JACK FLAHERTY (DK: $9000, FD: $9900) … Vargas has gone cold, Robert just stinks. The other option today besides Flaherty I guess would be Singer, but … no.
So many great spots tonight. Two games in good parks with good weather where the Twins/Athletics in a warm Sacramento and Brewers/Reds in moderate/nice Cincinnati are going to be the prime spots today.
The other notable games are going to be the Tigers likely hitting 2+ homers off Chicago (I could easily see the Tigers offense going off this series) and the Angels/Red Sox. Overall, this is how I rank them all.
- BREWERS/REDS … Lean on the Reds side slightly. Both these pitchers should give up enough to justify stacks but also can go deep enough to not make it where they’re posting some Brandon Pfaadt type stat line.
- TIGERS … Don’t know how we aren’t on Carpenter and/or Greene
- TWINS … Wallner, Clemens, Larnach
