I will do three brief articles for the three slates today. It’s rare that we have an evenly distributed triple header and so I’ll give thoughts on all the games to help you with DFS, Betting, Prop Bets or just Bar Trivia on this fine Saturday afternoon. This article is covering the first slate, which is the Early slate on our Dashboard and features San Francisco at Washington Former Giant Aaron Sanchez will be pitching for the Nationals today. Giddy up! Cleveland at NY Yankees Happy Yankee Stadium Saturday UNDERS season! Colorado at Detroit Game 1 of Doubleheader Pittsburgh at Chicago Cubs This game will have winds blowing out 15+ mph out to left field and will be in the low to mid 70’s.

Cortes has the least amount of risk in my mind of the two even though the Tribe are a top offense YTD. If Cortes is on his game as I expect he will go over his 5.5 strikeout prop (-135 on DK) too. Skubal has been very up and down in his short career and is expected to take a big step forward this season for the Rockies. There are a couple big problem bats for him, but he could excel today. Alex Wood and Kyle Hendricks are your steady as they go options. Wood is clear cut ahead of Hendricks even given Kyle’s better splits at home because most of that is in a night game and today the weather is prime for offense in Wrigley. So it’s Wood who we trust the most as our SP2 to pair with the upside of either Cortes or Skubal. THE CONTRARIAN Cal Quantrill makes for an interesting ‘leverage’ or pivot play. I project the game in Yankee Stadium to be low scoring. THE UGLY Zach Thompson has the look of a dude who wants to desperately add “give up 7 runs without recording an out” on to his 2022 Resume. Probably not that extreme for it to come today, but not worth the risk at all given the Cubs lack of Whiff % this season and his own inability to dominate. Aaron…...
