WEATHER
A decent amount of storms that could threaten games today but I don’t think youre going to see any PPD. The ones with the most impact appear to be:
- Rangers at Nationals
- Phillies at Pirates
- Astros at Guardians
The really tough scenario is that the Philly/Pittsburgh pitching matchup is where we should be looking but weather risks are significant to cause an in game delay on Sanchez and Skenes that would knock them out and make them tough pills to swallow.
My favorites today are being driven by which BATS/STACK feels like a priority and so going into the mid range with upside is preferred.
TANNER BIBEE (DK: $7200, FD: $8400) … Not really a Sunday sleeper, the Astros dont have much lefty power here to get a boost with in the park. Bibbe will be good, not great, but the 7200 price with some rain concerns elsewhere is why he is the #1 play.
ZAC GALLEN (DK: $7600, FD: $8600) … Risk is heavy on Gallen in a small park — both teams coming off the mini double header yesterday and I don’t see the D’Backs getting swept.
JOE RYAN (DK: $10.6k, FD: 9900) … More of a FD play.
DODGERS
Gimme a nuke spot from the Dodgers studs today. Ohtani/Freeman are the favorites for me with Muncy being a closer third. Michael McGreevy is a 3 pitch guy, they should pick him up quickly and put up a big number today.
D’BACKS
Adding the D’Backs after looking through their lineup a little more. The wrap around from Thomas at the bottom back up to Carroll/Marte/Perdomo is where I would focus on & of course a Eugenio Suarez revenge slam maybe?
TWINS
Ball is carrying well this weekend in Minnesota. Their lefties are in a great spot.
TIGERS
Really like both sides, but lean the Tigers because of the Cubs bullpen being bad and obviously worse than Detroits. Gleyber is a sleeper, hopefully he is hitting 2nd with Carpenter.
