Twelve (12) game MAIN slate today, as we have seen the sites go back to 7:05 PM lock without the Turbo slate games. So say farewell to Royals/Marlins, Tigers/Phillies and Twins/Rays. Pretty good Turbo slate in my mind, I like all 3 of those games to go over as well. The Cincinnati Reds have promoted the #1 hitting prospect in Baseball, Elly De La Cruz to the big leagues. He is a super athletic switch hitting infielder (SS for now) who projects to be the next big star in a line of similar explosive athletes like Fernando Tatis, Oneil Cruz, Ronald Acuna, etc… He long like Oneil Cruz, has an explosive bat like Tatis and can run like Acuna. So let’s hope that this doesn’t turn into a Willie Mays Hayes situation where he runs like one but hits like shit if you know what I mean. He’s only $2,000 on DraftKings and I haven’t even bothered to look if he is on FanDuel yet, so I will assume that he won’t be there until the 4th of July. The Reds should let him hit leadoff and you can definitely take him and load him in tonight if you want. He’ll be a regular in this article. WEATHER Everything will play tonight, a few scattered showers in some games and some wind as well, but really nothing to worry about adjusting your lineups around. There is also a massive amount of smoke in the atmosphere coming down from Canada, and while there could be massive amounts of Alek Manoah jokes I will pass on that for now. It’s related to some wildfires or something and it will make for very hazy and bad air conditions in New York and Philadelphia tonight, as well as somewhat in DC but the air in DC always sucks so who can really tell. TOP ARM(s) Logan Gilbert (DK: $9900, FD: $9800) Joe Musgrove (DK: $7800, FD: $8300) One tough start against the Yankees when they ambushed his four-seamer and got him rattled early does not mean we should pivot off him against a mediocre Padres lineup. His opponent (Musgrove) is usually very good at home in friendly PETCO and also $2100 cheaper on DraftKings, so this does setup a nice SP gamestack option if you want to lock in on ~40+ DK points from your SP’s and not sweat anything early.
