There are two double headers today between the Braves/Mets and Angels/Mariners. Both game 2’s for those are on DraftKings Main slate tonight and not FanDuel. WEATHER Blue Jays at Twins – Light storm/shower chances Red Sox at Royals – 90+ Degree Temps and winds 13+ MPH out to left field.

I like Nate to have a 10+ swinging strike game, which means he is going over 20 DK fantasy points like he has each time he does that.

Max in a big spot though with the home crowd behind him is not an automatic fade and this honestly is what I expect to be a pitchers duel with Max Fried. Give me Scherzer going his longest outing of the season so far in a statement game. MICHAEL KOPECH Kopech has had his best games when he gets to face a heavier lefty lineup and a lot of the middle/bottom of the order Rangers also do not walk very much.

It’s a bad mix and with humidity in the air, the ball should carry a little more. YANKEES Judge, Torres, Donaldson Tonight we will find out why the Yankees traded Jordan Montgomery. His first start as a Cardinal is against…...
