Five game early slate today, kicking off with the Toronto 3:07 home game and then four games in that magical 4pm Saturday overs window.
WEATHER
All clear
CHASE BURNS (DK: $9300)
Just as a reminder, no pitcher is ever safe when it comes to these Saturday afternoon games, so you want to find the one who should get enough whiffs to off-set any HR damage that comes with the mid afternoon time slots that the Baseballs love to be jumpy in. Burns is clearly that guy & while the first inning is the toughest part to get through, the rest of the Houston lineup is smooth sailing for him to hit 6 to 8 strikeouts.
NICK MARTINEZ (DK: $7900)
Nick Martinez is not this good, but be damned if I want to use Payton Tolle vs Caminero/Diaz. Unlike Burns, we’re not getting the whiffs but rather the crafty veteran who should get enough ground balls to push through 5 IP with a chance at the win.
ONLY OTHER OPTION
- Trey Yesavage will be better today, but you still have to throw more than two pitches to be a real starting pitcher in this league. The hype on him is not justified yet.
ATHLETICS vs ORIOLES
Anything less than 13 runs and 5 homers and we riot. All in on this game.
