We have three slates today which have quality Baseball games on them and your mileage will vary on whether or not specific sites have good contests for you to play them on. We start things off with five games on both DraftKings and FanDuel for Afternoon Synchronicity which includes two NL West Divisional games and three other non interleague games.

[spacer height=”20px”] Despite only five games, this early slate is loaded with quality arms on it. CORBIN BURNES A good pitching re-match between Burnes and Fried will take center stage in Milwaukee to start things off.  Burnes is just a model of consistency going 6+ with 7+ strikeouts in each of his last three games.  Included in that was a battle with these same cold Braves, who likely are without Acuna today after he played last night and Burnesy more than anyone else likely has a shot at double digit strikeouts today. DREW RASMUSSEN Rasmussen is better than E-Rod and Detroit has less top of the lineup threats than Tampa.  All things equal my lean is Rasmussen but he is also the more popular one and on a short slate this is a tough 1v1 call to make for me.  In the end, I would much rather be on Assmussen than E-Fraud though, but for a second lineup pivot over to E-Fraud. EDUARDO RODRIGUEZ I see very little difference between the two arms facing it off at the free snacks stand in Costco Warehouse Field down in Tampa.  Both opponents are very weak lineups and the Rays specifically are hitting just .164 as a team over the last 10 days.

Evan Longoria Austin Slater – $3400 + the need to secure Burnes and hey look, 99% ownership.  Who is that 1% bozo?  Not me. Wilmer Flores – I don’t always play King Donkey Wilmer Flores vs a LHP but when I do, it’s a day game on the road. Joey Bart DODGERS As you can tell, the chalk on this slate is pretty clear and we’re going to have to sweat out things today because the obvious looks good.  Dodgers…...
