TUESDAY SLATES
There are SIX, count em, SIX games on the Turbo slate tonight, which really dampens the MAIN slate possibilities. One of the things I love about MLB is the series configurations that you have each week and if you do the math there are technically 6,190,283,353,629,375 different ways we could have MLB series combinations at any given time. I firmly believe the 15 we have going right now might be among the worst. MLB getting the boring series out of the way.
Your new series firing up on Turbo tonight that we’ll never really get to see
- Brewers at Tigers: Sneaky high scoring game here. I really think the Tigers (Despite being LH heavy) will hit Kyle Harrison & Keider Montero should struggle vs the Brewers top of the lineup. Good YRFI spot
- Yankees at Red Sox: Boston can steal this one, but the Red Sox at even or -108 is just horrific odds. Pass
Overall for those building lineups on the Turbo slate do not be shocked if Chris Paddack has a good outing for the Marlins.
MAIN SLATE WEATHER
- All games play without issue
- White Sox at Diamondbacks: Chase Field Roof Open
- Padres at Rockies: Nice temps in Coors again.
DFS Strategy 101: There are two guys tonight that you can play together and build easily around. They are the best two options. They are chalk. You’re either locking these two in, or you are doing a leverage stack against them. It’s your choice weiner… I recommend just playing them.
NOLAN MCLEAN (DK: $8500, FD: $10,200)
If the Mets lose tonight I don’t think it will be due to the Twins offense beating up Mclean. Even with the winds blowing out, he should be able to just spin his way past the Twins. His sinker is extremely good so far & they’re terrible against it.
YOSHI YAMAMOTO (DK: $9500, FD: $10,900)
The hitting tonight really leaves alot to be desired and not paying up for both pitchers is silly. With the park benefit, the Giants mess of an offense & Yamamoto’s consistency I don’t see why you’d consider not playing this chalk 18-30 FPT game.
WHITE SOX
Ever seen a grown Japanese man naked in a pool? Yes, you are reading the Dongers Club article … Wait, I should probably be more specific, you are reading a Baseball article on tonights DFS and betting slates. And what does this have to do with all of that? Well, Murakami has a prior HR vs Merrill Kelly in their one lone meeting in the WBC as the former KBO star faces the former NPB star and right now there’s too much in favor of the Japanese transplant to not use him. Throw in the D’Backs lefty pen issues & we have a nice Murakami – Montgomery stack once more.
- Munetaka Murakami
- Miguel Vargas
- Colson Montgomery
ATHLETICS
They were not on my initial list when just listing teams because I kinda have an auto-blocker up against teams in Seattle. But then I said, wait, McNeil – Love him. Shea – love him. Kurtz/Soderstrom make sense and Carlos Cortes – love him. Well damn, lets attack Castillo
- Jeff McNeil
- SHea Langeliers
- Carlos Cortes
ANGELS
Three to four innings of Corbin and then the Blue Jays middle relievers. A dream scenario for the Halos — who are cold right now but still a good lineup to always consider vs LHP
- Jo Adell & Jorge Soler
- Vaughn Grissom
- Zach Neto
CATCHER
- Shea Langaliers: Guy could win the AL player of the week honors this week.
- Carson Kelly
- Edgar Quero
FIRST BASE
- Munetaka Murakami
- TJ Rumfield
- Jake Burger
SECOND BASE
Kind of a weird spot tonight, I actually like lots of options here. Nico Hoerner seems to just have the Phillies number & gets to possibly Ambush Luzardo before he settles in for an okay outing. Vaughn Grissom is dirt cheap and will likely come up with men on base a good amount. Neither are my #1 though. Not only does Jeff McNeil hit Luis Castillo well, he has three guys behind him that Castillo has to be worried about. It’s a pitchers park and we’re backing the Athletics and we can’t do that without the lead off man for $3200.
- Jeff McNeil
- Vaughn Grissom
- Nico Hoerner
THIRD BASE
- Miguel Vargas
- Manny Machado
- Max Muncy
