There really isn’t a set good slate today as MLB has 3 early games and then 4 night games, with the Astros vs Mariners as an island Showdown game in between all of that. So I am going to just write about the games and let you play what you choose. Weekend content update. I’m traveling again this weekend and will have a Friday article and hope to get Saturday and/or Sunday out as well, but they could just be short informational articles on the weekend. Early Games: Brady Singer, Jameson Taillon, Colin Rea, Chris Paddack, Kyle Muller and Shawn Armstrong What a collection of junk right there. The Twins have seen a ton of Singer and have hit him for some decent power as Kepler and Buxton both have 2 HR off Singer and only Correa/Kiriloff/Castro are big strikeout guys vs Brady. The Royals are trying to get the split today and I think they will, but I doubt you’ll be saying, “Man, Singer is killing me” if you fade him. The problem is, nobody else is a “good” play here. So take Singer and I guess try Kyle Muller because Tampa is just hot garbage. Main Slate: Zac Gallen, Jack Flaherty, Carlos Rodon, Reynaldo Lopez, Nick Pivetta, Trevor Williams, Patrick Sandoval and Christian Scott Gallen is the obvious #1 here & rightfully should be the highest owned pitcher and the most secure option. But the match-up between much-maligned Jack Flaherty and Nick Pivetta is the most important game on the night cap. Both could/should be able to generate Swing & Miss stuff and be able to avoid damage on their way to a nice pitchers game stack winning build. My preference is combine Jack and Nick and fade Gallen just because of that. But if you dont like stacking 2 SP in the same game, then Gallen over Flaherty is the pick. Early Slate: The Cubs vs Brewers game is the first spot to swim in early for offense. Both teams have hit the ball well the past two games and there have been a lot of outs right at the wall which have gone un-noticed. Willy Adames, Christopher Morel and Seiya Suzuki are three guys that look to be primed for some big games & Ian Happ was really locked in for most of the night last night. Hard to not just want to stack…...
