WEATHER Royals at Tigers: Slight chance or rain. Less of a chance than the Royals scoring 3 or more runs too, so were’ good. Angels at Yankees: VERY warm. What a joyous slate of Thursday Baseball we have. Ladies and Gentlemen, the God’s have given us another Urena. No relation to Jose other than also being Dominican, this one is named … Walbert. What? Yes, I said Walbert. No chance that is his real name? I assure you, it is. He will be starting for the Angels today. God help us all. Now for other pitchers I trust today… KRIS BUBIC (DK: $9000, FD: $9900) You are either playing Max Fried in mid-April 90 degree day game or you’re fading him. If you are fading him, you cannot pass up on Bubic IMO. The Royals are looking to avoid the sweep in Detroit and they’re damn well gonna need Bubic to give them 6 clean innings if they can pull that off. His control is very good right now and the weather should be clear enough to let him keep that up. LANDEN ROUPP (DK: $8000, FD: $8700) Congrats to the Reds on beating the piss out of Tyler Mahle last night. They can go back to being just a mediocre offense today. 6 of the Reds top 7 hitters have an increase in their K% against RH breaking pitches. Roupp’s curve ball is his plus pitch and RHH are only getting 19% hard hit rates off him. This narrows it down to Friedl and Elly & I love my chances with Roupp against them. I could almost argue that he is SP1 for me today. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS Max Fried: This is the fade. He’s gonna be 60% owned in April 90 degree day game against a team with good power vs LHH. Normally the final game after a big series on the road is when Trout stayed up too late in the hotel room watching highlights of Bobby Hebert throwing 4 INT and flipping off the fans vs the Eagles in the early 90’s playoffs and thus he has a quiet game — but something tells me he wants to finish on a bang and got a good nights sleep finally. The Halo’s will make Fried work. Keider Montero: Yeah, Royals suck, whatever. They suck every year coming out of Arizona in the Spring…...
