WEATHER No major issues. The Pirates/Orioles game will be waiting for rain to clear out early but will have a fine evening window to play Baseball in. Chase Field roof is closed. ZAC GALLEN Roof closed and Gallen at home. Can we go ahead and pencil in the 24-26 DK fpts now? Yes, yes, we can. DYLAN CEASE Everyone has been bashing Cease this season, but I will continue to remind everyone that he is the new Trevor Bauer. What I mean by this is he is a pitcher who does not mind working into deep counts and going 100 pitches through 5 innings simply by setting up the hitter to where he can get them put away after having them guessing as to what is coming next. He does it more with location than anything else, and so this results in hitters who eventually get to see him more and more having better success against him. Thus we’ve seen him struggle with teams in the AL Central more and more. Today he gets a Houston lineup though which he can handle somewhat better. And unlike some early games this year in Chicago, the weather is not really setup for this to be a high scoring spot. ROYALS Melendez, Pratto PHILLIES Stott, Turner, Harper PADRES vs DODGERS If this was early April or late September I would be cautious with potentially having shadows in this game. But this time of year L.A. is gonna be more of a spot where the ball flys out of the park with no shadows and a 4PM local start time. Not sure we will find a good build to full stack this game, but Nelson Cruz and JD Martinez could have a nice ‘remember me’ setup today. CATCHER Salvy Perez JT Realmuto Austin Nola FIRST BASE Nick Pratto … Going off what could be a chalky Pasquantino today because I love Pratto vs Houser. He should get something down and in that he can drive into the RF seats. Carlos Santana Nelson Cruz SECOND BASE Brice Turang Bryson Stott Adam Frazier THIRD BASE Manny Machado Max Muncy Brian Anderson SHORTSTOP Willy Adames Xander Bogaerts Trea Turner OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore MJ Meldnez … The days of MJ at catcher are done on DK, so he is OF only now Bryce Harper Christian Yelich JD Martinez …...
