WEATHER There are no weather issues today, thankfully since it is just a four game slate in the afternoon, which features four really good parks for hitting. With a four game slate we have been presented the path of looking at a gamestack pitching scenario and the divisional game up in Toronto is the one that’s the easiest to do this with. Gausman should be the universal SP1 today – his overall numbers this year have been down but when he is on there’s nobody else on this slate who should touch him. Chris Paddack going into Camden Yards is tempting, the guy is not a good pitcher, but he continues to manage to not get blown up. I’ll pass though given some nice warm weather in Camden. Both the White Sox and Reds lineups are train wrecks at the moment. Go both pitchers there if you want to have a second lineup. KEVIN GAUSMAN (DK: $8800, FD: $9500) ZACK LITTELL (DK: $7500, FD: $8300) So they are all looking fairly good today with the Twins and Braves being the top ranked spots. Minnesota is white hot and draws a non strikeout arm in Sugano, while the Braves, well, they’re the Braves. You know the drill there. Cincinnati is the team that just continues to baffle me. The lineup is not constructed right and I’m not sure how much longer Tito is going to wait until he decides to move Elly De La Cruz up to #1 like he did with Lindor back in the day. It has to happen soon and it would spark the lineup which should then go McLain, Lux, Steer, Friedl, Stephenson, Hays, Benson and then let the most attractive female from the crowd come up and hit instead of Santiago Espinal. Just because he has a cool name doesn’t mean the dude should be hitting second. Please, I beg you Tito. My ‘Team’ Rankings Cincinnati: Fuck it, going back here. Call me crazy. Wilson has allowed 4 HR in 77 PA to RHH, a .417 xWOBA and .247 ISO to the RHH. This helps with Lux and EDLC being good against RHP as well so the lineup might piece together some big innings. And by big innings, I mean a man on base who then scores. That would be huge. Twins/Orioles: Runs in this game there shall be, yes and the Twins after Buxton…...
