WEATHER
All clear
SONNY GRAY (DK: $9100)
Plenty of history here from Sonny’s days in the Cardinals and just the fact that he is a long time veteran at this point. Sonny has to be at the top of my list though, the Pirates haven’t done a ton of damage really since O’Hearn went out & aren’t really one to be patient enough to force a quick outing from Gray tonight which is his kryptonite as a low strikeout guy. He’s solid for a 7 inning under 95 pitch game.
MACKENZIE GORE (DK: $7500)
Fuck it, I am back in on someone I trust and believe in. With the chalk giong to Miz in a clear fade spot I am going to look for some upside here. The whole slate should come down to the Athletics RHH who come into this with really low ISO on the season & Gore’s been back to pitching with a ton of confidence and commanding the zone lately.
OTHER SP THOUGHTS
- Grant Holmes was going to be on my short list, but this is looking more and more like it’s the 8-7 game we focus on tonight.
- Luzardo has been much worse on the road. Fading for that reason only.
I don’t see a must own stack or team tonight. So here’s the ones that are highest up in my list
BRAVES vs DIAMONDBACKS
- Braves: Olson, Albies, Riley, Murphy
- DBacks: Carroll
BREWERS vs DODGERS
Sneaky runs in this showcase game for at least the first 4 innings.

FIRST BASE

SHORTSTOP
- Mauricio Dubon
- Bobby Witt Jr
- Trea Turner
OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore
- Shohei Ohtani … Normally you look at Ohtani and say, who is touting him and claiming its a big deal. Well, show me his 5% ownership at best tonight and then come back when he leads off with a homer.
- Corbin Carroll … Trusting the raw data here, the matchup is pretty elite.
- Wilyer Abreu
- Chase DeLauter
OUTFIELD – Value
If you trust Ohtani/Carroll here, then you pretty much need bare bones minimum 3rd OF to make salary work tonight.
