I will have two articles for this Thursday after essentially taking off Wednesday. We have a double header with the Royals/Cardinals being placed on the early DraftKings “Turbo” slate at 1PM along with the Tigers/White Sox and Diamondbacks/Braves all going off before the 3PM slate locks. Then there is a MAIN ‘night’ slate for both sites as well. WEATHER All clear for the 5 game early slate DYLAN CEASE (DK: $8200, FD: $9500) Trust Cease far more than I would trust Robbie Ray. This is another game which could go over after it did last night, however the production is on the Padres side. Likely just a 6 strikeout game for Cease, but it’s good enough. JESUS LUZARDO (DK: $9300, FD: $10.2k) It’s always uncomfortable to look at a guy who just gave up 12 hits, 2 homers and 12 ER with a massive -17.5 DraftKings score and think, yeah, that’s how I wanna start my Thursday off with, but Jesus Luzardo is actually in the top three choices on this short slate. Nobody posts back to back 12 ER games, so you can be confident there. The Jays hot bat right now is Addison Barger – a lefty who shouldn’t be trusted in LvL yet, and George Springer has gone cold — soon to be going to the IL probably. This means we’re about 3 weeks away from Vlad saying screw it I am going to just homer every night and do everything while we lose 7-2 on a daily basis. OTHER OPTIONS Best “THIRD” arm choice would be Zach Eflin, and given the price discount you get, I don’t hate making him SP2 with Cease – but doing this you want to stack the Dodgers/Mets game. On FanDuel you gotta like Casey Mize vs the White Sox METS/DODGERS Unless they just mail this one in, I think we’re dumb not to touch on Chavez Ravine in an afternoon June game. David Peterson can’t get RHH out, and Landon Knack while he did well in his last two starts (both vs NY teams) is not someone to suddenly start making Cy Young Award dinner plans with. TWINS/ATHLETICS I want to commend the Athletics for trying to make it a 3-28 streak that they are on. I think we’re up to 3-25 right now? Lets get another loss here but with some Rooker, Butler and Soderstrom production. Check the…...
