WEATHER
Two rain outs last night brings us two double headers today, but there are no projected PPD games today so we’re moving forward with a 7 game slate just as we would have in the first place.
PAUL SKENES (DK: $10,300, FD: $10.8k)
They keep giving us the 11k or higher Skenes at a reasonable price. We’re easily allowed to play him and we’re going to be thankful to do that once more today.
FRAMBER VALDEZ (DK: $8000, FD: $8200)
Only a deranged Braves fan would full on stack this game. It’s going to finish 3-1 in favor of a Kevin McGonigle 2 run triple and the Braves offense should muster no match for Framber as a lefty ground ball guy comes in and gets just that from them.
REDS
Former Red Michael Lorenzen is back in Cincinnati, and he should remember this park well but the strikeouts are not there & we have to like the Elly-Stewart-Steer section of this lineup. Sure, Nate Lowe, go right ahead.
- Sal Stewart (or Nate Lowe for salary relief)
- Spencer Steer
- Tyler Stephenson
- Elly De La Cruz
NY METS
Ugh. They’re awful. Just miserable. I think if you touch anything here Robert, Baty or Semien (oof) are viable
- Brett Baty
- Luis Robert Jr.
- Marcus Semien
ASTROS vs ORIOLES
I am always cautious at stacking games in double headers because the teams had the day off last night to almost surely “do something else” and they tend to just go quietly to get it over with. It’s also a get away spot here too, but the get away should be Chris Bassitt getting the fuck away from Yordan Alvarez today. So here’s your choice. Play 40% Alvarez, hope he walks twice, or log off when he hits his third homer? It’s your choice weiner…
