TURBO SLATE We have a good Turbo slate and unfortunately there will never be a shift back to add these onto the main slate ever again. Quick game thoughts on each of them below: KC at CLE: Gonna feel blustery, but the wind actually could push one or two out to RF — maybe an oppo homer for Maikel Garcia believe it or not. SD at PIT: Huge series for the Pirates before they get the Cubs next weekend. They’re pushing their top 3 arms out so a sweep is in play. Like Chandler & Brandon Lowe. CIN at MIA: Top game. Marlins cannot hold runners on still. Elly/McLain/Suarez/Steer. Reds go off. Marlins side good as well for hitting. STL at WSH: Zack Littell sucks. He’ll pitch ok, and still have a sucky score. MIL at BOS: Either Wodruff shuts down the Sox bats (likely) or Bello gets lit up. Either way, Boston is on fade mode still for me right now. WEATHER Some extremely cold spots tonight but all games play. DET at MIN: This is the coldest. Sub freezing temps. I just normally throw these games out because even though you want to lean on the under, it’s not as definitive as you think & the pitchers themselves aren’t always able to grip as cleanly. In normal circumstances – Casey Mize would be on our radar. CHRIS SALE (DK: $9700, FD: $11.1k) Sale gets the nod above Gilbert/deGrom because the prices are so close & the Angels are a pretty free swinging team right now — plus Trout is likely gonna sit today. JACOB DEGROM (DK: $9000, FD: $10.4k) The lean for deGrom over Gilbert is just simply that I cannot get past Gilbert having to deal with Nimmo/Seager where as right now deGrom vs the entire Mariners lineup is pretty smooth sailing. It’s a toss-up, because Gilbert’s gonna pitch very well himself and I don’t even hate just a SP game stack here to fade Sale chalk too. ADRIAN HOUSER (DK: $6700) DK only – value SP2 option where Erick Fedde is the other value SP2 option in long relief for the White Sox. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS Andrew Painter is a realistic option but priced in a spot where you should just go with Gilbert or deGrom instead. I am also not confident he gets the win so that diminishes the value here. Despite…...
