There is a large early slate today with SIX games in the afternoon and then NINE on the main slate tonight. I’m just going to do a quick notes style for the early six game slate today. The Mets and Phillies are playing two today and so for the early slate we have Jays at Yankees Mets at Phillies Brewers at Cubs Red Sox at Orioles Royals at Rays The White Sox and Guardians at 6pm is the one game we are void of for DFS.

[spacer height=”10px”] Zack Wheeler, Gerrit Cole and Drew Rasmussen should be the three most popular picks early today. Of which Rasmussen is the one I would definitely avoid coming off a near perfect game and that is my favorite ‘under the radar’ offense spot today. Freddy Peralta and Marcus Stroman both have to deal with weather issues and I don’t want to use SP in a Wrigley Day game at all. [spacer height=”10px”] ZACK WHEELER Pay for Wheeler today vs the Mets. Two games usually means less damage offensively in both games from either side and Wheeler is very good in home day games. GERRIT COLE This feels like a donkey recommendation because statistically the Tigers are the team to pick on with a lefty pitcher again in Reid Detmers, but I believe in Cole to do what they paid him to do and that is to deliver an ace shutdown performance today — even against a mighty Jays lineup.

Speaking of which, Boston is completely off the rails right now, they are inches away from running into a brawl and I wouldn’t be shocked if we saw some guys “accidentally” get hit today or tomorrow. Phillies Hoskins, Bohm Jeckyl and hyde team, but Williams gives up HR to RHH and Hoskins/Casty fit right into his wheel house for trouble. Royals / Rays Pasquantino, Melendez, Arozarena, Ramirez, Parades…...
