WEATHER
These games are going to have to play through light rain or wait a while to get them in. I expect they play through the conditions.
- Nationals at Orioles
- Reds at Pirates
DREW RASMUSSEN (DK: $10,000)
Doesn’t get blown up, keeps the ball in play, pitches well at home. Zona on a getaway game after a long east coast trip with a home game tomorrow back in Chase Field. It all adds up as Rasmussen being our top pitcher today.
GAVIN WILIAMS (DK: $9400)
This could just be me being stubbourn but I am very upset with how bad the Mariners have done & want to just throw them into the banned pool. You failed me Mariners. You failed me big time.
SUNDAY SLEEPER
RYAN FELTNER (DK: $6300)
Nobody really thinks that Feltner is a terrible pitcher & his splits this year set him up in a favorable spot vs the lefty heavy Twins lineup.
OTHER NOTES
- Hunter Brown & Jack Flaherty: If we are simming this game on a video game then yeah you can like both. But we aren’t and their recent form/injury status/concerns is just too much to touch either.
- Brady Singer & Mitch Keller: I have this game going under, but the weather/rain delay is a massive concern
MARLINS vs CARDINALS
I kinda looked here and said oh, Phillips and Leahy, maybe they can … nope. Don’t take that cheese. Almost 100 degrees, wind blowing enough to impact the game out to left and this is your 13-9 game that turns into 18-9 in the 9th inning with some bullshit triple dong from some guy like Griffin Conine. I am very tempted to just ignore every other game today, but we have some decent one offs out there.
- Marlins:
- Griffin Conine
- Kyle STowers
- Heriberto Hernandez
- Cardinals:
- Jordan Walker
- JJ Wetherholt
- Lars Nootbar
THE OTHER GAMES / SPOTS
- Cubs vs Brewers: aka the Seiya Suzuki series. Should see the Brewers go through the Cubs bullpen game today pretty well too.
- Phillies vs Mets: Citi Field Sunday overs & the Mets also deploying some mix of a bullpen game
- White Sox: Why, not.
CATCHER
- Gary Sanchez
- Ivan Herrera
- Alejandro Kirk
