It’s a glorious Saturday, the first day of July. We are officially in the 10 day stretch to the All-Star break which is slightly earlier this season and often a time when I am able to detach from Baseball or maybe like, a day or two and then come back. Usually when we go into the break it means a steady streak of cashing day in and day out. Last night was a good start to that run and so let’s keep it going today as I very much feel locked in on this weekends series. We have a 7 game MAIN slate this afternoon in the 4PM window after 3 games going early and then 5 in the evening. TBD as always on a Saturday night article (translation, yeah, I’ll do one) WEATHER Rain and Smoke in Pittsburgh. What a potent combination and this is the only one I could see getting PPD since it is a divisional game. There is risk in both SP. Rain storms in Baltimore, game should play though. Atlanta summer heat and storms. TOP PITCHER DYLAN CEASE (DK: $8000 / FD: $10300) In the DFS world the term “smash” is way overused and a day game in Oakland usually has offense with it, but there’s no path by which I don’t see Cease continuing his late run of doing extremely well and pushing towards double digit strikeouts. If you are an avid reader of the Dongers Club, I applaud you, and you should also know why Cease has turned things around by facing the Marlins, Dodgers, Rangers & Angels. It’s clear folks, he is the new Bauer in that he does well versus teams who haven’t seen him enough to know you just need to be patient and not chase. Oakland is not that team. Lock him in. SP2 OPTION(s) JUSTIN VERLANDER (DK: $8300 / FD: $8800) I’ll bite here on Verlander at this price mostly because one alt option Kyle Bradish, has storm/weather concerns and a surging Twins team in a park they definitely fit well in. JV is pitching well in Citi Field, you’ll get 2.5x from him today for sure on DraftKings. OTHER PITCHING CONSIDERATIONS Nate Eovaldi pitches well and is best pivot off Verlander IMO. Eury Perez has been fantastic in his rookie season and now he gets the white hot Braves after they hit so many…...
