WEATHER
All clear & warmer. Much warmer/humid.
Shohei Ohtani (DK: $10,700) …
The gap between Soriano & Ohtani in pricing should be about $1300. Soriano’s dipped down while Ohtani faces a Colorado team not capable of hitting his velo and Goodman gets a dip here too which is a huge threat lost. Clear cut go with Ohtani over Soriano and over deGrom as well.
He is going to finish over 20 FPTS. Take it.
Davis Martin (DK: $9400) …
Martin has not allowed more than 1 ER in his last 3 home starts. Strikeouts might not get where you want at this price – but the guy and the CWS starters are just pitching well (well, minus that one fat lefty)
- Martin Scratched for a rookie. Avoid at all costs. Go deGrom as #2.
Bubba Chandler (DK: $6000) …
You really should be trying to find a way to pay up on both SP tonight — but I like Chandler vs the cold Cubs.
He might have gotten his confidence back in Toronto & is going to be able to do enough to 2x this salary.
OTHER THOUGHTS
- No dice on Cole tonight. He rode emotion of Yankee stadium last time. under 4 strikeouts
- deGrom is the other one to look at paying up. RH heavy HOU lineup, wont walk guys. Clean & assume roof is closed.
RAYS (& Orioles)
The Memorial Day game where the Orioles finally broke through and got a huge 13 inning win was a turning point for them. You could feel it as the game went along and I think they ride that as far as they can to get back into things. The Rays, though, are not dead yet. This team is too good fundamentally & too balanced at the top to not stay in the mix. Baltimore’s going with Trey Gibson & probably gets into a bad pen quickly. Tampa’s scoring 6 today, the only question is can Steven Matz pitch well to get them back on the winning side
- Yandy Diaz
- Chandler Simpson
- Richie Palacios / Cedric Mullins
ANGELS
My sleeper team, and yes I know they went off last night too. But I love this match-up for Soler. Guy hits well in Detroit & with a ground baller like Mize this is a good spot for the Angels hitters. They profile well today & if nothing else, get him in.
- Jorge Soler
- Mike Trout
OTHER FAVORABLE SPOTS
There’s a ton of good spots out there tonight. Citi Field is really warm and humid, Atlanta/Boston should be a good HR spot as well. And the Pirates vs Taillon just feels too easy. The Dodgers are once again getting someone they should touch up without a challenge either. I expect lots of offense.
