WEATHER Poor MLB has PTSD from prior early season cold weather scenarios and they have their usual second day only in domes and warm weather schedule rolling out tonight while we miss chances to play games in nice weather. You have mostly domes, and absolutely zero reason to need to pull up a weather app today. SANDY ALCANTARA (DK: $7500, FD: $8900) Like driving down a major highway and coming up on an accident with no real way around it. You cannot avoid playing Sandy at home vs the Rockies. Through ups and downs last year coming back from TJ Sandy was still great at limiting damage at home and the Rockies bats, while young and fiesty at home, are … well, like their mascot. Lame and limp on the road. GAVIN WILLIAMS (DK: $8000, FD: $8800) An annual tradition for me is loading up on the Guardians in Seattle. I don’t know if it’s where the org stays in a hotel or what, but seeing them start here and knowing they wont be back later in the season is kinda a bummer for us to miss out on. Take their ML again tonight and back Gavin Williams. The ball shouldn’t carry like it was last night with second night vibes & with Williams if his command is on he is in that 20+ DK pt range. MIKE BURROWS (DK: $6500, FD: $7500) A sneaky offseason trade by Houston, who has a reputation for rebuilding pitchers and changing their strategy on how they attack hitters. That’s the process now with Burrows, so buy low here until his price comes up if he is the next project they transform into the next or a lighter version of Hunter Brown. I would think he is cautious with Trout who looked locked in yesterday in a park he hates which is significant and Burrows going to be throwing more 2-seamers, so he really should stay away from Trout and then have a clean path throughout the rest of the order. OTHER THOUGHTS I don’t hate Sale, Valdez, Ragans, etc… Just sticking with my guns of no heavy pay up upside there. The three above should all be adequately in the same area and Williams/Burrows are contrarian for some pivot upside. BLUE JAYS Beyond Severino, there’s tons of bombs waiting in the Athletics bullpen. Some good arms, some disasters. It’s not a…...
