There are two small 3 game slates today which is not always ideal, but I think its a good quiet day of Baseball to prepare for what should be an eventful weekend. I expect offense to surge either this weekend or next week after a slow start around Baseball, so brace yourselves…
WEATHER
All clear
EARLY SLATE
- Jack Flaherty: Jack is your best option early. The Twins just BABIP’d Framber to death last night, which we had nailed down but will be the opposite today and Jack’s over 5 strikeouts is the best play I see early.
- Ryan Weathers: The Athletics have the highest chase rate on this short 6 game slate. Even though I say the offense is coming, I just don’t see it coming yet in this game.
LATE SLATE
- Nolan McLean: It’s very weird for a night game on a Thursday like this to end a series and Arizona is going to Philly tomorrow – so its a short little bus ride (they gotta take a bus, right?) after. Either way, their bags are packed and they’re gonna go quietly into the night.
- Seth Lugo or Eduardo Rodriguez: E-Rod wont win, Lugo will. E-Rod though could be in for one more good start here.
EARLY SLATE
- Reds vs Marlins: Lean for me is on the Marlins side. Gotta think Marsee gets a big hit off Lowder
- Tigers: Dead men walking, that’s the Tigers. Can they avoid a 4 game sweep versus the TWINS? They have too, right? Mick Abel has 7 walks through his first two starts.
MAIN SLATE
- Royals: Short slate Royals, they always deliver. Garcia, Witt, Salvy are ready to wake up. Maikel has been hammering the ball without the results.
- Rockies: Why … not? Anyone jumping into the night slate will immediately have Randy Vasquez tonight. He sucks, he doesn’t deserve a $7300 price even at home vs the Rockies. They’re confident off the Houston beat downs and even going on the road they are worthy of use on a 3 game short slate. It’s them or the Mets as option 2 and I don’t want that Mets team in a chilly Citi Field night game.
