Back to split slates on FanDuel. I really would hate to hear what they consider waking up at 6am to be. That’s gotta be like super-duper-way too very early in their eyes. The Marlins and Cubs PPD from Thursday is being made up today as part of a double-header in Wrigleyville, so G1 is on both sites and G2 is as well. WEATHER No early issues. Too many good options on the early slate today – but really none of them are GREAT plays. If you are on FanDuel for their 4PM window of games I would lean Kyle Harrison there. NESTOR CORTES (DK: $7100) … Gonna be chalky at this cheap price. Tampa’s nearly a 30% strikeout team vs LHP right now & Cortes is always solid in home Yankee Stadium afternoon games. REESE OLSON / BAILEY OBER … Really not a ton of difference here, but I do lean slightly on the Ober side. While Minnesota is NOT a good team in my mind they do win this game today, most likely off the bullpen in a late 8th inning 2 run rally to win 2-1. ZACH EFLIN (DK: $9300) … This is a very contrarian play considering Yankees at home and other options out there. Look for a quiet/low scoring game and Eflin is able to tame the key RHH on the Yankees lineup and work around Soto. Other Pitching Notes Gallen and Blanco will probably come in with some popularity, neither to me has a high ceiling and thus not worth pushing that. Don’t hate Luzardo or Assad, dont love either though. There’s a lot of stars headlining the hitting spots today & then we have our usual class of Saturday guys to throw in as well…. ASTROS Alvarez, Bregman, Pena, McCormick Friends don’t let friends use Alex Bregman before May, but man if ever he was going to have a big April game it should be today. DODGERS Freeman, Betts Jose Butto was able to cruise through the Royals lineup by getting a ton of whiffs on his change-up. He won’t have that same luck vs Freeman & Mookie. RED SOX Devers, Duran PNC is quietly one of the best parks for LH power and that’s exactly what Boston has. The weather isn’t favorable for home runs but all other factors are. Boston really needs Yoshida to get going and he has been kinda…...
