Happy Father’s Day to everyone who is going to be celebrating today by working hard to grow their kids inheritance somehow betting on the Angels to not blow an 8-2 lead against the lowly Royals! There is no brunch game today, because Dad’s don’t want Brunch although the Orioles @ Cubs game is a 1:05 start which is a Noon start there in Wrigley. The Yankees and Red Sox are playing two up in Fenway in a split double-header, with the first game on FanDuel’s MAIN slate and the second game the Showdown Sunday Night Baseball game for both sites. WEATHER Tigers at Twins … They can wait it out and get this game in, but there is a strong chance the rain continues long enough to have them just PPD the game. Both teams have games tomorrow at home, they can wait it out. Rockies at Braves … Chance of pop-up storms. Typical Hotlanta day.

He’s gonna throw his slider over and over and it doesn’t necessarily pop off the charts in terms of movement, but it just dies right at the front of the plate allowing him to get by with it and have a pretty good 27.2% swinging strike rate. Cincinnati is fairly aggressive on sliders biting on that pitch 30%+ of the time and at this price in a spot where I see the Reds streak ending we can comfortably take him today coming off two 94 pitch games. SECONDARY ARMS Jon Gray (DK: $10.1k, FD: $10.4k) Jon Gray is arguably the next best pitcher right now on this slate but Toronto has managed to drastically reduce their strikeouts of late – down to just 19% over the last 10 days. It’s hard for me to push him up as your top must own even though he was on a roll prior to missing a start due to a blister. However, the Jays are RHH and Gray has not been blown up by RHH at all, gotta think he…...
