Slate configuration notes. DraftKings has skipped adding San Diego/Philadelphia & St. Louis/Pittsburgh onto the MAIN slate tonight. That sucks. WEATHER Both games in Pennsylvania though have some weather concerns for those on FanDuel. I think they will play. CHASE BURNS (DK: $8000, FD: $8800) Burns goes on the road but I saw nothing from the kid in his first start to think he will run into walk issues. He has a poise and confidence that comes from pitching at a high level in college and it gives me enough trust and faith to use him against Crochet in the game of the night (game of the week?) from a pitching perspective. Maybe a solo HR to Romany Anthony, or a double, but 7+ strikeouts is not being too optimistic IMO. After Burns you obviously have Garrett Crochet, who is going to be the highest owned pitcher IMO tonight. At first I would point out we have other good pitching choices – but the risk here is that the offense is limited outside of paying up for a couple Yankees. So take the safe points with Crochet. ALSO WILL BE OKAY DREW RASMUSSEN (DK: $7500, FD: $8700) … Paying up for Crochet in a game stack with Burns is not a stupid idea — but there’s nothing against Rasmussen either except he only pitches at most 6 innings. GEORGE KIRBY (DK: $7700, FD: $8200) … This is not April games in Seattle when everything was 2-1, as I think you see this game creep towards that 7.5 total — however the Royals do suck offensively enough that I have to give Kirby the props here. YANKEES vs BLUE JAYS We want and we shall get 3+ HR in this game all total between the two clubs. Judge Rice Bichette – SCRATCHED Vlad MARINERS Tons of value here. Going back home the offense should go back to normal but is still worth using. Canzone Raley Polanco CATCHER The rare — we can play two catchers from the same team, which do we go with? It’s like we’re in 2015 and the Detroit Tigers are in Minnesota forcing a decision between Victor Martinez & James McCann — boy did I just date myself… Ben Rice – Can be used at 1B obviously Austin Wells FIRST BASE Vlad Guerrero Jr. Bryce Harper – FD Only, but possibly Back and ready…...
