There are no weather issues tonight that we are worried about impacting games to focus on. Some more storms may pop up around Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Philly but games should finish. The Mets and Nationals game is 7 innings only and should be considered a SP spot but really neither pitcher is on my very short list tonight.
KEVIN GAUSMAN
New baby finally arrived and Gausman’s mind is clear and free to keep pitching like he did early in the season. The D’Backs against Gausman are very little match, the model loves him as it should and the money is all coming in on the Giants. Not going to overthink this one.
ALEK MANOAH
Menoah should shred the Angels lineup that has been ice cold of late and should struggle with his high end talent and pitch movement. He really could come out and shine as the highest scoring pitcher tonight.
TYLER ANDERSON
The main benefit we get with Anderson is on DraftKings where he is $7,600 and gives you an extra little wiggle room on salary to get a full team 1-4 type stack in play, which I don’t mind tonight. The Rangers lineup is certainly one that has been picked on plenty and will continue to be picked on. Anderson’s settling into his new environment and should very much enjoy pitcher friendly SafeCo/T-Mobile/Whatever it’s called now field.
Sleeper: Nathan Eovaldi
ATHLETICS
Canha, Marte, Olson, Lowrie
Oak-town funk it up. It’s the Athletics night to shine with Matt Olson being the one and only play at 1B we have and Cal Quantrill’s recent hot streak about to burst. This is a good sinker-ball hitting lineup 1-4.
RED SOX
Xander, Kike, JD, Devers
Love the OF + Xander Bogaerts. Boston has a lot of upside tonight at very low ownership IMO against Josh Fleming.
BREWERS
Wong, Narvaez, Escobar, Avisail
Really windy and blowing out in Wrigley Field tonight. With Jake Arrieta on the mound you can expect the Brewers offense to be the most popular team on the board today for very good reasons.
CATCHER
- JT Realmuto
- Kevin Plawecki – Good value
- Sean Murphy
FIRST BASE
- Matt Olson
- Jonathan Schoop
- Paul Goldschmidt
SECOND BASE
- Jean Segura … Should get that ideal #2 hole hitter vs David Price which I always love.
- Jed Lowrie
- Kolten Wong
THIRD BASE
Third base returns to our lives tonight with a lot of pay up type spots. Matt Chapman (not mentioned because he is Matt Chapman!) is certainly viable for full Oakland stackers, but it’s a deep spot and one to pay up for today.
- Nolan Arenado
- Rafael Devers
- Eduardo Escobar
- Mike Moustakas
SHORTSTOP
Adames is the popular play, Goodrum probably after him. Xander is the correct play my friends. The lights are coming back on for him.
- Xander Bogaerts
- Willy Adames
- Niko Goodrum
OUTFIELD – MT RUSHMORE
As is the case with deeper and projected high scoring nights the value comes from OF. I wouldn’t dare pay for Christian Yelich at $5900 when the are so many other good hitters out there right now that you can look at instead. Like Austin Hays! Wait, what?? Yes… Mr. Hays
- Starling Marte (or Mark Canha, very interchangable)
- Austin Hays
- Hunter Renfroe
- Avisail Garcia
OUTFIELD – Tier 2
- JD Martinez
- Kike Hernandez
- Tyler O’Neill
OUTFIELD – Value
- Seth Brown
- Corey Dickerson … Bundy will get hit somewhere tonight and C-DIck in a good lefty park makes a ton of sense.
- Bryan Reynolds
- Robbie Grossman
The Dongers Club
- Matt Olson – 1B – Athletics – Chairman of the Dongers Club
- JT Realmuto – C – Phillies
- Corey Dickerson – OF – Blue Jays
- Kolten Wong – 2B – Brewers
- Nolan Arenado – 3B – Cardinals
- Xander Bogaerts – SS – Red Sox
- Austin Hays – OF – Orioles
- Starling Marte – OF – Athletics
- BONUS ………………. Jean Segura – 2B – Phillies
BETS:
- Matt Olson to Homer
- Braves, Red Sox, Mets, Athletics, Giants Parlay
- Same game parlay: Boston ML, Eovaldi Over 5.5 Strikeouts, Xander Bogaerts 2+ Hits
