Looks like we have a split slate with FanDuel including the Braves/Rockies COORS game on their main slate. This is also just a 7 game main DK slate because — yeah, there are four teams who just don’t even play today! White Sox/Cubs and Cardinals/Royals are off today as they had just 2 game series. Teams not playing Baseball on a Sunday in August. Blasphemy.
WEATHER
All clear
The way Cease is going right now you just don’t fade him. Every year there is that one big pitcher dominant run & Cease is on it right now. He’s gotta be fresh too after dealing with a short rain outing and yeah, it’s the Marlins.
The Blue Jays & Reds are two offenses that have been dead quiet of late which could get picked on with JP Sears (Oak) and DL Hall (Mil), but neither to me is above each other or Chris Bassitt. Out of the group, going with Sears and Bassitt is the best route here – I trust Cincy bats.
Hunter Brown vs James Paxton should result in another game going over and with limited games you’re quickly pushing into the Max Meyer type range and lets just stop there. These are your top 3.
- Dylan Cease (DK: $10.1k, FD: $11.1k)
- Chris Bassitt (DK: $8400, FD: $8800)
- JP Sears (DK: $7600, FD: $8300)
- RED SOX … Hunter Brown gives up 5 ER today. He’s been worse vs RHH which makes Boston a tough stack to back based upon data, but they are the best Sunday team this year for what it’s worth.
- ASTROS … Diaz, Bregman, Altuve
- YANKEES … Judge/Torres
SNEAKY TEAMS
- RAYS … Lowe/Lowe/Morel
CATCHER
- Yainer Diaz
- Ryan Jeffers
- Gary Sanchez
FIRST BASE
- Dominic Smith
- Spencer Steer
- Nathaniel Lowe
SECOND BASE
Deepest spot on the slate.
- Brandon Lowe
- Gleyber Torres
- Jose Altuve
- Christopher Morel
THIRD BASE
- Royce Lewis
- Rafael Devers
- Alex Bregman
SHORTSTOP
Not a ton here that stands out as a one off. If you go with the Reds as a stack then obviously Elly is a must here because for them do well he’s gotta produce, but as a one off you don’t use him still vs LHP at that price.
- Corey Seager
- Jeremy Pena
- Brayan Rocchio
OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore
Oddly enough Aaron Judge and Juan Soto are both 1-9 against Andrew Heaney. That’s changing today.
- Aaron Judge
- Josh Lowe
- Eloy Jimenez
- Byron Buxton
- Dominic Smith – 1B – Boston Red Sox – Chairman of The Dongers Club
- Yainer Diaz – C – Astros
- Brandon Lowe – 2B – Rays
- Aaron Judge – OF – Yankees
TOP BETS
- Red Sox ML (+114)
- Rays ML (-110), Like the over here too
- Reds ML (-115)
