Good Sunday Morning to all of you. The weather is warming up. The Chairman is on fire. We should have a great Sunday slate today and we have Site Synchronicity! WEATHER Much warmer today, and while it’s not 90+ degrees out, it does feel much better when you see mid to upper 70’s instead of mid to upper 50’s in the month of April. If it were October, then maybe I would be going the other way around. The following games are all very nice weather and with very favorable winds blowing OUT. MIL/BAL, PIT/PHI, KC/NYM, NYY/CLE, MIN/DET, TEX/HOU All games play. A couple remember me spots today. Corbin Burnes against the Brewers and Blake Snell in Tampa against the Rays. Overall the slate just screams runs, runs and more runs everywhere today, so it’s not one where I am leaping to just blindly spend up for pitching, but on the other hand having someone who can rack up the strikeouts is always a nice floor. Since Snell only has the 1 start (3 innings, 72 pitches) under his belt this year and I believe he’ll have some weird nerves in Tampa, I would fade him at his price. You’re really limiting hte upside there IMO. Somehow the Brewers are on fire offensively. I don’t know how, but they are. Everything here is telling me don’t do it, don’t go Burnes. So, guess what… I’m gonna listen to my inner self today. No Burnes. Top Recommendations BRAYAN BELLO (DK: $7500, FD: $8000) … This is one spot which is still in that early season weather mode. It’s also a spot with very few red flags in the opposing lineup (Trout & Ward) for Bello to navigate through. I like the match-up, love the price, and can live with him serving up one solo HR so long as he can get through 6 innings today. BAILEY OBER (DK: $6600, FD: $8900) … The entire fantasy community fell in love with Bailey Ober in the off-season and he rewarded them with 8 ER allowed in 1 1/3 IP against the Royals in his season debut — which yes, was on a Sunday. But the Royals have been doing that to a lot of guys this season, and this Tigers lineup is not the Royals. They have 5 batters in the projected lineup who favor Ober for strikeouts, they have 5 projected RHH…...
