Scheduling Notes:  The Royals/White Sox is not on any DFS slate tonight, this is a great thing folks.  The Yankees/Red Sox G2 of their Double-Header will be on DraftKings MAIN slate tonight.   WEATHER I believe all games will play.   My top options today: Justin Verlander (DK: $10.7k, FD: $10.3k) … Compared to the other high end $ options tonight I have no hesitation with a chalky JV. Patrick Sandoval (DK: $7500, FD: $9300) … More of an SP2 DraftKings pick tonight.  Seattle has not hit sliders very well and it’s the one pitch that Sandoval can really lean on when he needs to get a big out. Bryan Woo (DK: $7900, FD: $9500) … I am not a huge fan but the Angels aren’t very good from the right side and he has been extremely good in those splits with a 28.8% strikeout rate and allowing just .265 xSLG.   Other pitching thoughts No dice on Max for me tonight.  Toronto’s PA of late have been solid enough and him in this park vs this lineup just smells like a 3-4 HR night.  I like Toronto to win this game and the over once again. The Beavis and Butthead matchup between Ryne Nelson and Jose Butthole might seem tempting to try and get a couple sub 6500 draftkings options that will not go negative.  Unfortunately, Ryne Nelson has as good of a shot at getting 4+ strikeouts as Aaron Rodgers did at having 4 completions last night.  Butto is okay as a cheap punt. Freddy Peralta for almost 12k.  No thank you.   Top games/teams today: Chicago Cubs (Tauchman, Happ, Suzuki) … The OF for the Cubs tonight are priced moderate given the Coors environment and the weather is fine. Brewers (Santana, Adames, T.Taylor) … The pitching is carrying the Brewers right now, the cheap hitting should beat up on the Marlins though. Blue Jays (Belt, Varsho, Springer) … Contrarian pivot tonight, look for Toronto to reverse that 10 spot back on Texas, assuming they can outscore Marcus Semien who is the top play tonight overall.   CATCHER Mitch Garver William Contreras Yainer DIaz   FIRST BASE Jose Abreu Vlad Guerrero Jr Carlos Santana   SECOND BASE Marcus Semien Mookie Betts Brandon Lowe   THIRD BASE Jeimer Candelario Raffy Devers Ryan McMahon   SHORTSTOP Willy Adames Bo Bichette Dansby Swanson   OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore Mike Tauchman Ian Happ…...
