Almost the perfect sized slate tonight but we are still amiss two games on the Turbo slate, so no ability to use Padres, Marlins, Rangers or Tigers, I know you are all very sad that we miss the Martin Perez vs Alex Faedo game in 88 degree Detroit, Michigan. WEATHER No issues tonight There aren’t many high priced pitchers with just four over 10k on DraftKings and when you combine that with how many ‘Star’ hitters I think are in great spots vs the SP today you should find yourself pairing two mid-range pitchers on DraftKings and go from there. I will say among the top $ guys (McClanahan, Gallen, Ryan, Gilbert), that Zac Gallen is no doubt the best of the bunch and should have a strong rebound game at home vs Colorado. TOP ARM Brayan Bello (DK: $7100, FD: $7000) It’s kinda rare that there is a team who can go into Fenway Park one time a year and not consider it a good park shift for the road team, but such is the case for Cincinnati who has the best jet stream to right field and now has a bad spot for hitting it out to right field. That’s one boost for Bello, the other positive is how well he is pitching overall and his 0 walk performance in Anaheim was huge for him as he went 7 innings on just 98 pitches. That confidence and a pretty soft Reds lineup outside of Nick Senzel and …. well, Nick Senzel, is enough to just take what should be everyones favorite “SP2” and use him as our SP1 tonight. SP2 OPTIONS Tony Gonsolin (DK: $8000, FD: $9400) Washington is pesky, not vs a guy like Gonsolin though. Still a big time discount on his price and while I know we dont like no strikeout guys vs Washington I cannot see him hurting you on a slate where that’s the main focus with pitching. Yusei Kikuchi (DK: $8400, FD: $8500) Ah, my friend Kikuchi. Yusei the Brewers have some power and I say, yeah but they strike out a TOOOON. Kikuchi has been back to being horrible of late, so this either goes with him posting that 24 point performance I anticipate or he gives up 4 homers in the first inning and finishes with like -13 before going to the bullpen in a week.
