WEATHER Red Sox at Twins: This is a PPD risk, and certainly a delay risk. Storm changes are high here and it’s the first game of a series where they have a day game on Wednesday and both teams are off Thursday. Neither team will mind if this is PPD. Guardians at Cardinals: Could be some fireworks in this game. PAUL SKENES (DK: $9500) Who are The Washington Nationals and the Minnesota Twins. Two teams who are actually connected to each other historically. You’re like. Uh, what? What the hell does that have to do with Paul Skenes? No, I haven’t started drinking yet. Wait, what time are you reading this? You see. The Nationals and the Twins are the answer (or the question?) to a Jeopardy question (or the answer?) right now for the MLB season. And that answer is ‘Theyre the teams who won a bunch of games in April but still finished dead fucking last’. So, yeah, the Nationals are a fun team right now. Jimmy Wood has his swing back on track . Brady House, CJ Abrams are hitting decent. Nasim Nunez makes good plays at short. Their manager is competent. This doesn’t mean that we cannot lock f’n button Paul Skenes for $9500 at home where he will NOT give up a HR tonight, he WILL strike out 6 batters and he will pitch 6 full innings. His ceiling score is not a 100, but his floor score is. He’s DK #1 play. CRISTOPHER SANCHEZ (DK: $9800) Here is your ceiling play today. His change-up is where the Cubs are likely to not get much damage done. Bregman, Hoerner, Suzuki, Happ, Swanson, Shaw — all take a big dip here & finally going on the road away from Wrigley has been a dip for the historical Cubs here in prior seasons too. Sanchez got hit a lot in San Francisco, he should get locked back in tonight. EURY PEREZ (DK: $8300, FD: $8500) Perez gets nearly 30% whiff rate on his slider against lefties. With Olson, Albies & Baldwin likely being free swinging tonight I like his chances of being able to get out of any jams he puts himself in with walks. And if you are aware of the Braves dropping double digits last night on a showdown slate, then you surely should know that they’re the exact type of team who is…...
