Just a quick run down on the night slate tonight.  Not a big fan of this one tonight, but we’ll make it work.  If you want a game to bet the over in – take over in the Baltimore/Cleveland Showdown game.   WEATHER All clear   GEORGE KIRBY (DK: $8500, FD: $10.2k) Kirby at home = good Kirby.  No reason to think his splits wont continue into this season where he is an Ace when pitching at friendly T-Mobile.  Here’s some expected K% against his slider (the one that gets hit the hardest when its hit) 30%, 35%, 35%, 27%, 30%… Yeah, he’s probably getting over his 5.5 strikeout prop tonight. CHRIS SALE (DK: $9400, FD: $10.9k) The reverse blowout theory should tell us to use Sanchez and not Sale here, but I say curse that theory, the Phillies shouldn’t suddenly smash Sale.  If this game was in the afternoon – then yes – but tonight this is going under as one would assume it does.   OTHER FAVORABLE OPTIONS Nate Eovaldi Cristopher Sanchez Zac Gallen   LA ANGELS Do not read into this that much, I just wanted to keep Trout in the 2 hole where he belongs.  He is the top play tonight of course. Nolan Schanuel Mike Trout Zach Neto   AZ DIAMONDBACKS Welcome back to Chase Field Max Scherzer.  Welcome to the Corbin Carroll show Ketel Marte Corbin Carroll Geraldo Perdomo Adrian Del Castillo   SD PADRES We should anticipate that Kikuchi will be better at home this year.  The short porch out in RF in Anaheim doesn’t get talked up enough but a lefty like him should be able to be serviceable at home.  I said serviceable, not dominant. Fernando Tatis Nick Castellanos Ty France Miguel Andujar     CATCHER Ivan Herrera Yainer Diaz Will Smith   FIRST BASE Ty France Nolan Schanuel Christian Walker   SECOND BASE Ketel Marte Ozzie Albies Fernando Tatis Jr   THIRD BASE Austin Riley Isaac Paredes Miguel Andujar   SHORTSTOP Zach Neto Carlos Correa Xander Bogaerts   OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore Mike Trout Corbin Carroll Andy Pages Cam Smith   OUTFIELD – Tier II Yordan Alvarez:  DK Priced him properly because Pallante is just the type he should crush Nick Castellanos   Mike Trout – OF – LA Angels – Chairman of The Dongers Club Corbin Carroll – OF – Diamondbacks Austin Riley – 3B – Braves Ketel Marte…...
