There are three things in this world which I will just never be able to figure out. Women The Pirates FanDuel I say this because the White Sox-Royals game today is an 8PM game and FanDuel has not picked up on this time change and not only has it listed at 2PM but also has it on their Early Slate today. We have no word on if the game will count on the slate or not, because technically it WILL play after the slate locks. So I have to assume for analysis purposes that it’s in play. Here’s my analysis.

METS Vogelbach, Lindor I don’t think this game is an automatic 10-1 Mets win, but the Mets for certain are the chalk team to look at strongly. TJ Zeuch hasn’t pitched in the Majors this season and the former Jay isn’t very good with a bad sinkerball. He’s the type…...
