Six games for DraftKings Early Slate today, while FanDuel has just three. The Marlins and Rockies are playing a double-header today with the make-up game from yesterday playing immediately after their first game today. We anticipate that today’s original scheduled starting match-up between Trevor Rodgers and Antonio Senzatela will be the SP on that game.

Trends aside, we also have Brad Keller who is starting to struggle finally this year and a lineup that should smack him a round a good bit. I like both sides as Konnor Pilkington aint very solid either and so we have ourselves the primary hitting spot today. ROOKIE MISTAKE More Mets JD Davis, Alonso, Canha The Nationals will be starting rookie Evan Lee, who is a lefty and hasn’t been dominant in the minor leagues or anything.
