Finally done with some traveling (famous last words). It honestly feels like it’s September already so I am kinda happy we have another two weeks of quiet August Baseball. WEATHER Nats at Phillies/Red Sox at Orioles: Both these games can see afternoon storms/rain delays We start with Framber Valdez, a guy who we’re fairly confident is going to deliver against the lowly White Sox. Even if he gets hit a little, he’s gonna find a way to get to 100 PC and 7+ strikeouts. No reason to over think that one. After him it gets a little dicey. Shota Imanaga is one play against Toronto who isn’t hitting LHP much outside of Vlad/Springer and has the wind blowing in as well to help things out. The Lopez vs Mahle game to me is going to either be a 1-0 spot if I stack it, or 9-7 if I use both pitchers. So, I guess I’ll fade it entirely? I really like the hitters in that one though. So with a chalky Valdez, on DK it becomes a matter of going with his ownership and then finding someone who might fly under the radar. Oh, hey there Singer — yeah, no, not him. All things considered, this slate looks like a low scoring one for offense, but no easy button pitching options. FRAMBER VALDEZ (DK: $8900, FD: $10.6k) SHOTA IMANAGA (DK: $9400, FD: $9400) ALBERT SUAREZ (DK: $6500) SUNDAY SLEEPERS Taijuan Walker Clayton Kershaw ORIOLES Cutter Crawford is gonna have to go through a lot of LHH today and that’s not good for him. Nor is the Boston bullpen consistently good, so Baltimore after losing two straight to Boston and being no-hit for a while last night is going to pop off today Colton Coswer, Anthony Santander, Ryan O’Hearn, Cedric Mullins GUARDIANS They are ice cold but I still bite here. I don’t think that Rea can get Kwan out, so he gets on and you have a scenario where some big early innings happen Kwan + Brennan + Naylor & Ramirez ROYALS / REDS Great spot to pluck some one off homers.
