There are two DraftKings slates today and three on FanDuel (shocker). While it’s at the point of the year where nobody really knows what day of the week it is, I am here to inform you that today is indeed a Saturday. And Saturday’s will always be afternoon MAIN slates in my world until we get to mid-August and then we’re just really waiting for some moronic College Football team to ruin our lives. So, this 2PM start time slate on DraftKings will serve as our MAIN slate article with an Evening 7pm 6 gamer following it. WEATHER All clear and more warm and windy conditions in Wrigley Field DEAN KREMER (DK: $7200, FD: $8500) … You are what you are is a great saying when you just want to put someone in their place. That’s you Atlanta, you are just a BAD Baseball team. Kremer’s worth giving the nod to as someone that maybe we’ll trust to have a good second half. The guy has been hammered by lefties still, so expect Matt Olson to hit the solo HR that makes Braves think they’re going to compete today and then they wind up losing 7-1. RANGER SUAREZ (DK: $9700, FD: $10.7k) … Ugh. Tough to trust the Phillies after that disaster game by Luzardo on the 4th, but Suarez is 10x the trust worthy arm that Luzardo can be. His blow up and risk factor at this point in the season is way lower. MAX SCHERZER (DK: $7500) … The biggest question with Max is can he stay healthy through 5 innings at minimum to maybe even get the WIN? The guy is an old man out there just waiting for something to pull or flare up. CARDS / CUBS This game will once again draw most of the attention with warm temps and wind blowing out. The Cardinals have not been as lethal against LHP as the last 5 have gone 5+ IP and all did well. They just don’t have the lineup to be able to destroy LHP and the Cubs are going to go with two today to start things off (supposedly). So the lean should be on the Cubs side, but certainly some Cardinals RHH and even hoping for late game lefty magic is reasonable. NATIONALS It might officially be over for Walker Buehler. He’s being rumored in trades which is hilarious to consider anyone…...
