Well, I for one am not shocked that the Brittish DFS company not only had a site outage for the second straight 4th of July, but once again on America’s Holiday they have said fuck you to our pastime, so good luck playing over there today. We’re gonna focus on the MAIN 1pm slate on DraftKings, which is done properly by including 8 total games. I do not consider this to be a normal slate. This is your high variance, high trust the gut type scenario. Those wild games yesterday afternoon between the Cubs/Brewers and Astros/Rangers were just a sign of what we could expect today. WEATHER There are five games in Dome’s on this afternoon slate, and the three which are not all have some potential for storms/rain. BAL/NYY … Should be able to play through it. TEX/BOS … Early delay likely KC/MIN … Big burst of rain/storms late in the game On America’s fine Holiday we have Kenta Maeda, Kodai Senga and later tonight Shohei Ohtani all pitching. This is the most sure sign that we are going to go to war with Asia very soon my friends. We also have two Zach’s and a Zack going today. Yes, that would be Eflin, Davies and Greinke But the most important name related correlation today comes from having three Kyle’s going today, including Gibson, Hendricks and how do you not lock button the cheapest pitcher on the slate — KYLE FREELAND, today? I mean… C’mon folks, they’re just GIVING you the free narrative there. There is no clear top pitcher today. My initial gut reaction to seeing Nola vs Eflin was that we would get a high scoring game there. Philly vs Eflin gives us Realmuto for sure and I do not like Nola vs that Tampa lineup at all, but with both guys they’ll pitch into the 5th inning so you’re gonna amass point production, just not a 20 point game. Kenta Maeda? More like Kenta My Fade-a. MY TOP PITCHER Kodai Seinga (DK: $10,100) Arizona is a good lineup, but this is a chance to sneak one by since you wanna have prior exposure to Senga to deal with the truckload of stuff he throws and his Ghost pitch. He’s my top arm since we for sure have a roof closed in Arizona today and his form has been very good of late. SP2 OPTION(s)…...
