There is still a lot of Baseball left, but for content purposes we are going to wind down starting this weekend. Next Saturday is Week 0 for CFB and I’m excited about the re-design and updates to the data automation for College Football this season.
Then of course once NFL starts up all Sat/Sun content really remains for that & Baseball is just here and there during the week in September.
WEATHER
A very clear slate of 13 games tonight. No issues expected.
Cam Schlittler (DK: $11,000)
The big slate, pay up for SP1 rule applies here, as you can find value hitters & that should offset any concerns of him facing the same team twice in a row. When that does happen historically it favors the SP who is now pitching at home in the second game. It also helps that outside of Kirk and Okamoto there’s not much in the Jays lineup that’s consistent these days. And Okamoto swings early and often, so he should get him into an 0-2 count. I expect more of his start vs the Braves on August 9th which was 7 innings, 11 K than any risk today.
Noah Cameron (DK: $7400)
When a guy suddenly turns it on, you question if it was the opponent or just luck. But in the case of Cameron his recent surge has been correlated with him calling his own pitches, so we have something to bank upon. His confidence also is through the roof & really comes out strong when you watch him pitch of late.
MacKenzie Gore (DK: $8000)
Angels let down after beating up on Houston.
OTHER THOUGHTS
- Should be a good pitchers battle between Logan Webb & Sonny Gray, but not one to invest in for DFS purposes. Their salaries just don’t fit right & they’re both not gonna have a shutout or high strikeout game.
GUARDIANS
Hard to pass up on the Guardians going into Colorado at some really weak prices
- Chase DeLauter
- Nate Lowe
- Patrick Bailey
- Jose Ramirez
REDS
- Sal Stewart
- Eugenio Suarez
- Elly De La Cruz
- Tyler Stephenson
OTHER SPOTS TO LOOK AT
- METS: Lindor loves him some central Baseball & the young kids should play loose. You also have Luis Robert Jr. narrative back in Chicago. Lindor, Bichette, Benge, Robert
- PIRATES: Death. Taxes. Pirates winning this series in LA….. Although I probably should be telling you to use Bubba Chandler as the more contrarian play here.
