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

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.
