Here we are into the month of July, the kids are off from school, families are on vacation and half the league is still playing games before 7PM on weeknights. This means you can exclude Padres/Phillies, Cardinals/Pirates, Twins/Marlins and Tigers/Nationals from your playerpool on the MAIN slate, but it also means you have a great Turbo slate if you would like. The Yankees and Blue Jays will make Canada feel important as today is Canada Day.  Hey, cool.  Good job fuckers.  You just lost Mitch Marner to Vegas. WEATHER So we have a 10 game slate, and it shall remain a 10 game slate only if storms do not get bad in Atlanta (Angels/Braves) and New York (Brewers/Mets). Yes, that means we almost had Jorge Soler back in Atlanta but he is likely still out and yes, we have … Rhys Hoskins VERSUS the Mets in Citi Field. YOSHINOBU YAMAMOTO  (DK: $10,800, FD: $10,800) … At home.  Versus the White Sox.  Pretty clear path here. ZAC GALLEN (DK: $7800, FD: $7900) … Giants have to prove it to me before we trust their offense again. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS A week after almost perfect gaming the Orioles on their “Pride” night, Jacob deGrom is back at home vs the same Birds.  He is the 1b to Yamamoto versus the White Sox, but second time against a team you almost zeroed across the board isn’t likely to repeat itself. EMERSON HANCOCK (DK: $6000, FD: $7100) … If we want to pick on the White Sox, we have to pick on the Royals, it’s far worse of a situation. The other “Cheaper” Options include Gordon (But young kids in Coors is scary), Springs (Rays are too good and will still run on him).   BRAVES I would rather have a full Braves build than the Astros in Coors.  They’re going to go off, maybe for 20…  Which Angels player is pitching the 7th-9th innings? Riley, Ozuna, Murphy, Albies REDS Reverse blowout theory, although it wasn’t a full blowout.  Good matchup against Fitts… Hays, De La Cruz RANGERS Seager and Semien, nothing much else. Seager, Semien   CATCHER Sean Murphy Yainer Diaz Logan O’Hoppe David Fry   FIRST BASE Rhys Hoskins Christian Walker Matt Olson   SECOND BASE Marcus Semien Ozzie Albies Jose Altuve Matt McLain   THIRD BASE Austin “Mr July” Riley Junior Caminero Maikel Garcia   SHORTSTOP Corey Seager … They are…...
