Ten games tonight. WEATHER Chance of storms in game in Atlanta and change of rain/storms out in Colorado as well. There will likely be bad haze/air quality once again in New York and also in Washington tonight. Who the heck knows if they actually get all scared and try to PPD these games, they haven’t in the past to my knowledge when this happened out in Seattle a year or two ago. White Sox vs Yankees and Tigers vs Phillies officially PPD TOP ARM(s) CORBIN BURNES (DK: $10.2k, FD: $10k) Burnes is pitching well and the Orioles are more explosive against LHP, so his damage risk is minimal here and we should see a good strikeout performance to justify the five figure salary. SP2 CANDIDATES LANCE LYNN (DK: $8700, FD: $8200) Weather/Air Quality risk of PPD for Lynn – but no Judge should make him popular and should also make him free of the risk of being pulled early. This overall slate has a limited amount of big time strikeout potential plays, with Max Scherzer being the only one I could see having a big time game so Lynn going 6 innings (he will throw 100 pitches) and a weak Yankee lineup should justify him being alright. ZACH DAVIES (DK: $6200) I really want to scream at myself and say “WHY ARE YOU PICKING ON THE NATIONALS STILL”, but hey, here I am. Call me crazy, but this sets up as that once every 6 starts where Davies is rolling through the first few innings without much issue. Why? A big deal is his pitch profiles and what the Nationals have and have not hit this season and they haven’t hit sinkers exceptionally well Favorite third pitcher – Jon Gray OTHER PITCHING NOTES I don’t understand why Randy Vasquez is only $4,000 on DraftKings. He has already started one game going 4 2/3 IP and really nobody should be $4k when we know they could go more than an inning. Case in point, Ronel Blanco is $5200 for Houston. Upside limited though. Heck, Kutter Crawford is even $6800 and he wont throw more than 50 pitches. Max Scherzer has all the underlying signs pointing to a 10 strikeout game, except for the fact that 2023 Max Scherzer does not do what 2019 Max Scherzer would have done. DODGERS BEtts, Smith, Taylor, Vargas Back to the well,…...
