A very happy Mothers Day and remember that Chicks dig the long ball, so maybe we get a ton of homers today? The return of the Noon game is back as we miss out on a Sunday Citi Field over spot which is sure to hit by the 5th inning as Boyd and Canning square off early. WEATHER Brewers at Rays: Time to get used to Tampa home games having weather concerns but will always play. I told you all MacKenzie Gore was an elite Cy Young caliber pitcher. Yes, I said it back in like, 2019, but still, we finally made it. He is 10k today! And against the Cardinals who are not the worst team vs LHP, but moving on after him we have lots of good options, including … CHRIS SALE (DK: $9600, FD: $10,400) I honestly thought Sale would drop off a little bit this season. He’s in prime Sale auto play form right now. Three straight 100+ pitch games with just 4 walks and 20 strikeouts over the last two. Sure, the opponents help but the Pirates are also hitting just .172 vs LHP over the last 10 days, not exactly a shift in the wrong direction here and a good park for lefty pitchers typically. REESE OLSON (DK: $8300, FD: $9000) There is a bigger ‘name’ for the historical MLB players listed below. Olson is better right now. If they re-made another version of moneyball but did it about pitchers, Olson would be the guy that they are talking about when they say, “why do we like Olson”? Because he keeps the ball in the park. Congrats to Texas on their 10 run outburst on Saturday and congrats to Joc on his homer. Back to reality today. This is an OK spot to game stack pitchers, but I have a less than confident feeling on Eovaldi. THE SUNDAY SLEEPER It’s SEAN BURKE (DK: $5300) but I am not sure how much of a ‘Sleeper’ he is, nor am I really thinking that there’s too much of a difference here in using him at the cheap price or a more secure option like Olson. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS SANDY ALCANTARA: It’s likely he is chalk and it’s admittedly bad chalk, but I am still going to tout it and here’s why. Sandy’s struggles this season have been very pinpointed, he has either found himself in too…...
