We have a big Sunday afternoon of Baseball with 11 games on the MAIN DraftKings slate while FanDuel has included the Giants/Rockies game on their MAIN slate. Everything starts up at 1:05 PM with the Brewers/Twins being the ‘Early’ Sunday game today.
Sweeps??
The following teams are going for sweeps today, and if you are like me, you should either bank on most of them completing the sweeps or all of them losing. It’s my belief that sweeps out of the ASB are not uncommon.
- Milwaukee
- Pittsburgh
- Washington
- Detroit
- Kansas City
- Arizona
- Baltimore
WEATHER
Everything should be fine although the Brewers/Twins game could see rain coming in during the end of the game.
KEVIN GAUSMAN (DK: $8800, FD: $9500)
Normally I don’t trust Gausman in day games, but it’s just too boring to really consider other SP1 options today. He’s either gonna not make it out of the first inning and a Detroit stack puts up 15 runs or he does what he should and that’s 7 innings with 9 strikeouts only to see the bullpen lose it in the 9th
SETH LUGO (DK: $9700, FD: $10.8k)
6 innings, 1 ER, 6 strikeouts, 2 hits. Blah, Blah, Blah. The White Sox suck.
BRANDON PFAADT (DK: $8300, FD: $8500)
This one really falls into the “sweep” category. Chicago has had some really bad PA in the first two games and I expect that to continue today while Pfaadt is trusted enough to carry the water for Arizona’s rotation in the second half.
SUNDAY SLEEPERS
- Spencer Schwellenbach
- Keider Montero
PIRATES
Andrew McCutchen, Oneil Cruz, Rowdy Tellez, Bryan Reynolds
I think the most impressive thing about Phillies RHP Tyler Phillips is that he has not walked a batter through 10 big league innings. Eight days between appearances now he gets to go back on the road and odds are that trend will not continue today.
ROYALS
Hunter Renfroe, Michael Massey, Bobby Witt Jr.
You know you are a bad pitching staff when Hunter Renfroe is having a nice series against you. He doubled yesterday and homers today.
BRAVES
Jarred Kelenic, Matt Olson, Ozzie Albies
Not even the Braves are swing happy enough to help out Miles Mikolas.
OTHER TEAMS TO LOOK AT
- I wouldn’t be shocked if Cleveland had a solid start today against Michael King, but not sure we can pay for Kwan + JRam and Naylor. Good one off team who should hit King, especially from the left side.
- Yankees, Orioles and Natioanls are the other teams I have the most interest in today.
