We got ourselves a bigger sized slate tonight. Almost back to a throwback 15 gamer but there are two turbo games. Rain and storms could be an issue tonight as well in a few spots… WEATHER Hot, stormy, delays…. Mariners at Yankees Rockies at Red Sox Blue Jays at White Sox Pirates at Royals Nationals at Cardinals HUNTER BROWN (DK: $11,000, FD: $10,800) Unless Lou Brown is coming in to give the Guardians a speech after their win last night, I would put my money on them not winning another one today. Not the way most of their AB outside of J-Ram are right now and certainly not against Hunter Brown. If he doesn’t get through 7 IP tonight I would be suprised, although with so many games and options you don’t HAVE to force him in, but there is a very old and reliable theory on these random big Tuesday night slates and it’s never failed. It’s the Scherzer/Sale theory from back when they were both elite at the same time. When you have a ton of games and a high priced ace pitcher in a good spot, you play them. Why? Because every jackass who is $2500 or $3200 who might be chalky from an optimizer is FOR SURE going to homer tonight… SETH LUGO (DK: $8800, FD: $9700) Death. Taxes. Royals pitchers at home not allowing runs early. BRAYAN BELLO (DK: $6600, FD: $8400) Likely the chalky SP2 with Brown or other builds. Simply being on the mound against the Rockies warrants that consideration. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS Happy Merrill Kelly day to those who celebrate. Really like him tonight to give you a reliable 15. Nick Martinez for whatever reason has done great in his career against Marlins. Oh, duh, he has pitched in great parks and the Marlins have sucked. Not these Marlins, not tonight Nicky… Eovaldi and Pivetta are kinda in no-mans land. I would rather have Lugo for less or pay up for Brown as well. CUBS/TWINS Suzuki & Lewis Favorite game tonight for high scoring on both sides. Good weather, mediocre pitching and right now the Cubs pen remains a mess, so the Twins might actually be a viable play for once. BRAVES Austin Riley, Marcell Ozuna, Jurickson Profar, Sean Murphy, Nick Allen? Sure, Why not… Jeffrey Springs vs the Braves. What a trainwreck. Gotta side with the Braves in what should…...
