I have a bone to pick with all you fools out there.
I know you guys are reading the articles, I hear and see the comments.
Yet, when I went today to copy the article template from prior days (I always copy the day before, duplicate post, etc..) I noticed something. Why was the article on Saturday labeled July? Its June. So I figured oh, I must have just messed up Saturday.
Nope. Been like that for a week. And you guys were gonna just let me walk around with toilet paper stuck to my shoes all along, weren’t you?
Sloppy editorial staff!
So, it’s … June. As evidence by Kyle Schwarber’s hot streak and I guess Italian Ohtani (Jac Caglianone) loves him some June too.
WEATHER
Turbo Slate
Phillies at Nationals: We have storms possibly causing the Nationals to do Nationals things. Game should play, but it is the Nationals.
But who cares on the Turbo slate. Just play Jac and win.
Main Slate
Cubs at Mets: Lots of rain here but a chance they wait it out and get the game in.
KYLE BRADISH (DK: $8500)
Bradish has become one of the more unpredictable pitchers because when he is on like his last start he is in that ‘Ace’ level & when he is off, he reminds you why alcohol is so friendly to so many people. The bottom line is that there’s no chance he repeats exactly the CSW% rate he had vs Seattle in the Dome, but the Angels do swing and miss a ton & are still going to be pitcher friendly for someone who has the potential to be filthy.
GAVIN WILLIAMS (DK: $9300)
Almost mirror image of Bradish if you ask me. Slightly tougher spot in Chicago, but one that’s still above the median line for the pitching thresholds. Chicago’s got too many holes and inconsistent young hitters for Gavin to get into a big jam tonight.
REST OF THE NOTES
- Hunter Brown’s return from the IL last week was pretty good & I’ll be ready to jump on him once he has about 4 starts under his belt / maybe more on the second half of the season.
- Dylan Cease was screwed by the weather yesterday, because he gets lit up tonight.
- I really like Anthony Kay tonight… He’s horrible though. I just can’t stomach it.
- If not for the rain I would be interested in Shota tonight.
BREWERS
They always murder Cincy in GABP. Singer’s pitched decent of late, but still will nibble way too much and then give up a big 3-run homer.
- Brice Turang
- William Contreras
- Christian Yelich
DIAMONDBACKS
This game and series should be one with lots of scoring in it. Cardinals are going to be heavier owned vs Kelly, but ‘Zona’s ability to put ball in play and move men around is trouble for Pallante unless his defense is closing EVERY hole on grounders. I like Zona for a ‘stack’ build.
- Geraldo Perdomo
- Nolan Arenado
- Ketel Marte
ASTROS
Seek the homers. Enjoy Joey Loperfido’s revenge tour?
- Joey Loperfido
- Yordan Alvarez
- Isaac Paredes
SOX / ROX
This is a great in game live betting spot and here’s why. I trust neither bullpen, but somehow Boston’s is doing better lately and Colorado’s has really fallen off (not shocking). So lets say Colorado jumps out early on Bennett as I suspect, then take Boston live.
- BOS – Jarren Duran
- COL – Kyle Karros
CATCHER
- William Contreras
- Drake Baldwin
- Jimmy Crooks
FIRST BASE
- Matt Olson
- Jake Bauers
- Alec Burleson
SECOND BASE
It’s really the top two guys as they have HUGE upside tonight, but Ozzie swinging well lately too.
- Brice Turang
- Ketel Marte
- Ozzie Albies
THIRD BASE
- Isaac Paredes – Hits well in Toronto
- Nolan Arenado
- Kyle Karros
SHORTSTOP
- Geraldo Perdomo
- Brayan Rocchio
- Mookie Betts
OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore
- Yordan Alvarez
- Christian Yelich – Walks or homers first AB
- Garrett Mitchell
- Joey Loperfido
OUTFIELD – TIER II
- Jarren Duran … With his speed he should do very well in Coors.
- Austin Martin
- Tyler O’Neill
- Joey Loperfido – OF – Houston Astros – Chairman of The Dongers Club
- Mookie Betts – SS – Dodgers
- Isaac Paredes – 3B – Astros
- Christian Yelich – OF – Brewers
- William Contreras – C – Brewers
- Matt Olson – 1B – Braves
- Ketel Marte – 2B – Diamondbacks
- Tyler O’Neill – OF – Orioles
- BONUS …. Jarren Duran – OF – Red Sox
BETS
- Arizona / St. Louis OVER 8.5
