A ten game mid week Wednesday night slate today with a couple rain spots. [spacer height=”20px”] WEATHER Rangers at Guardians – This is the only big weather/PPD spot on the slate and they already had one game washed out and converted into a double-header. I assume this one starts on time but if it delays to start then we are highly cautious of using anyone here. Athletics at Braves – Storms possible. Game plays though. [spacer height=”20px”] CHRIS BASSITT Nice little pitchers duel between Bassitt and Manaea tonight in PETCO park with both sides likely getting strong pitching outings from these new faces. It’s Bassitt though who I believe gets the win and I am more confident picking on the Padres than the Mets. IAN ANDERSON Wow. I realize that Anderson’s overall body of work in 2022 has not been spectacular but he also doesn’t carry much risk each time he takes the mound. So given that Anderson is a durable arm who throws 95-105 pitches each start and is facing a bad offense in Oakland, there’s no reason he should be $6,400 on DraftKings. I get that maybe there’s a little concern with the whole “hey, what does DK algo know” here, but worst case scenario he finished with a 10. Best case he finishes with a 23. The middle ground is worth it alone. SHANE BIEBER It feels like every time Bieber is scheduled to pitch there is weather that could push him back. Outside of one blow up disaster spot vs the Blue Jays this year Bieber has been just fine and has been very stout against lefties at home which is kinda important in that park. These teams are coming off the DH yesterday and so picking on them today for pitching options in a game with the wind blowing in too makes sense. The looming weather concerns have me bumping Bieber down to #3 tonight. [spacer height=”20px”] Pitching Nuggets I think both Aaron Nola (despite his reputation for being bad on the road) and Tony Gosolin are going to pitch well, but not as confidently as the three above. If Bieber gets knocked off due to rain then they slide in both as 3a & 3b choices. I am not touching Nate Eovaldi even against the ice cold Angels.
