I won’t be bothering with tonights 4 game 7pm slate, as the 4PM afternoon slate today is the definitive MAIN slate with 10 games on it. The London Series starts up today as well with the 1PM start time and a nice fat 13.5 over/under, which is higher than I had hoped because we’re locked in on the fact that MLB uses juiced balls in a park where pitchers got zero spin last time they played there.  Again, the balls are not normal.  Hammer the over still. The good news today?  We have site synchronicity!   WEATHER Similar spots of concern today but unlike yesterday it’s not a PPD risk however it is a delay risk in these stadiums Philly, Baltimore, New York All games will finish.   TOP PITCHER JOSE BERRIOS (DK: $9900, FD: $9200) The transformation of Jose Berrios into Marcus Stroman and Marcus Stroman into Jose Berrios hasn’t been talked about much.  Berrios has gone from a good strikeout arm at 26% in 2021 down to 21% this year and his ground ball rate has jumped up to 47%.  He’s learned to pitch a little more consistently and has only been hit around by the Braves and Marlins (his last start) this year.  The Jays don’t lose Saturday home games to the lowly Athletics.   SECONDARY OPTIONS There just isn’t a clear second choice today due to rain (Gray/Severino, Scherzer) and due to — no, no chance in hell I touch Lance Lynn vs Devers with Lynn coming off a 16 strikeout outing.  Nuh-uh, no thank you…. OSVALDO BIDO (DK: $7400, FD: $7600) Pitching today is dog crap and Bido isn’t going to be someone that’s around long in the majors but for now he is feeling himself and shouldn’t have any problems with the Marlins after Arraez today.  SP2 is all about risk avoidance, who is going to not put us into the negative around 4:30 today and Bido fits that bill. TANNER BIBEE (DK: $8100, FD: $8500) Two things which bug me here, the lefties obviously in Cleveland (even though Bibee will continue to be good vs LHH) and a very high Humidity/Dewpoint rating which should help the ball travel today & is a big reason why Peralta isn’t on my radar either. Throw those things out however and there’s plenty to like with a free swinging Milwaukee lineup who has to face Bibee’s excellent…...
