Happy Kentucky Derby day! Trust me – I know nothing about handicapping the horses but my picks are
- WIN: Chief Wallabee
- PLACE: Commandment
- SHOW: Danon Bourbon
Enjoy the Derby as we have two 5 game MLB slates today to really focus on. The 4PM ‘Early’ slate and then the 5 game Main slate tonight
WEATHER
All clear
It looks like a tricky slate for finding two good pitching options, but I also think you can get away with most plays outside of one game.
- Spencer Arighetti
- Andrew Painter
- Forster Griffin
GUARDIANS / ATHLETICS
Short slates often require you to think a little unique with the build but I also have to default back to what is the initial read. The initial read is that this will be a high scoring series & fading day games in Sacramento as it gets warmer and warmer is just not advisable. Both bullpens are weak, both teams get the right matchup vs the SP as well & I just have no desire to try and stack any other games today.
Travis Bazzanna has a breakout day.
- Rhys Hoskins
- Travis Bazzana
- Brent Rooker
- Carlos Cortes
CATCHER
- Shea Langeliers
FIRST BASE
- Rhys Hoskins
SECOND BASE
- Travis Bazzana
- Brandon Lowe
THIRD BASE
- Jose Ramirez

SHORTSTOP
This is the best position on this early slate. Lots of good options here, which stinks because I am 100% going Turner if he plays after his hangover is cleared up.
