Happy National Mascots Day to all who celebrate!
WEATHER
All clear
GAVIN WILLIAMS (DK: $9300)
I would like Gavin even on a big 15 game slate with other aces going. Yes, Milwaukee is a tough and good team at home so it might be a low scoring 1-1 game, but he has been far more consistent this season & is not walking many batters in general. His last two starts were repeats vs the Yankees & has been good vs NL teams. It’s a 20 fpt game.
MAX SCHERZER (DK: $6500)
I understand that in 2026 we’re not rushing to use Scherzer and in a park which is typically known for offense. But, the Red Sox management is so dumb that they put together the worst home Fenway team in the history of Red Sox baseball. This team has a weakness in that they’re really not a power hitting lineup consistently. So the flaw that Max has, might be negated enough to get him through 6 & he’ll have the win if he does that.
KYLE BRADISH (DK: $8300)
Going west for Bradish, he is the type who gets a nice benefit from pitching in the pitcher friendly Seattle versus his normal Baltimore home. Blind logic says dont use the SP twice in a row vs the same team when the second game is on the road. Big exception though when the pitcher did get hit the last time and now shifts to better conditions. That said, he is below Max for a reason.
