Five games for our mid week MLB DFS itch and we’re going to enjoy this slate my friends as all five games will play without issue and the pitching options force us some tough decisions. There is a Double Header today and we only have to deal with 1 of the games for DFS purposes as the White Sox (Keuchel) will play two against the Tribe (Beiber). Those are the projected SP that I see for the early game. WEATHER No issues as the roof should be closed in Milwaukee, with wind blowing out in L.A. and Cleveland but not insanely bad in either spot, while it’s 67 and sunny San Diego, of course. [spacer height=”20px”] This is another slate where one can justify just going up top and shooting for a 50 point combination between the top two guys. SHANE BIEBER I am probably less of a Bieber guy than most, but I love that he is at home against a lineup that doesn’t have a ton of lefty power and has also gone a couple days without hitting as these teams missed both Monday and Tuesday. Not to mention the Chi-Sox had scored 3 or fewer runs in the last 4 games before the rainouts and Bieber should get through 7 innings today with 10-12 slate breaking strikeout upside. BRANDON WOODRUFF If you pivot off a pitcher, it would be Woodruff, but if you do that you best be riding the Pirates bats and I just would not do that. I believe this game will go under with both Woodruff and Keller pitching well, although maybe not dominant. I project Woodruff to pitch 6+ with 5+ strikeouts and he should Win.

Specifically for Gore, he was very solid with his command in the Spring and also in his ML-Debut last Friday night. As long as he keeps that up he will deliver solid results even with the high probability that he gives up a HR today to Brandon Drury, Kyle Farmer or Nick Senzel. [spacer height=”20px”]…...
