WEATHER Guardians at Twins:  This could definitely be a PPD scenario with rain coming in, but tomorrow is bad and they have a day game on Wednesday which they most likely won’t turn into a double header.  I think this one plays and it only really matters for the hitting options – which aren’t that ideal since it’s below 60 degrees here too. Tigers at Cardinals:  Severe storms, expect chances of a delay but a wait it out and try to get the game in.  Again, only hitting is relevant   KRIS BUBIC (DK: $9700, FD: $10.5k) For the narratives crowd this one is a good one.  Bubic is a California boy who grew up just south of San Francisco and went to college at Stanford.  He has made two prior starts in San Francisco and both were very good — considering he wasn’t as good in prior seasons as he has become now.  I know a 2-0 type game when I see one and this Bubic/Ray game should be one that dominates ownership for pitching tonight.  Give me Bubic as the 1a choice with Robbie Ray after dark being 1b. ROBBIE RAY (DK: $10k, FD: $10.2k) The only down side here is that it’s obviously difficult to stack both these guys and then load up on Coors or DBacks/Dodgers hitters which is where most will want to go today.  But the Royals aren’t getting enough offensively outside of Witt and Maikel right now to expect them to torment Ray today … Although, mother fuckers, I swear the Salvador Perez hot streak is coming. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS Christopher Sanchez is definitely an option.  You get a discount off Bubic/Ray and face a terrible offense even if they’re in friendly Coors Field. Dean Kremer and Quinn Preister.  Neither guy is good.  Neither offense they are facing is in great form right now.  You’re safer off going Kremer believe it or not, but we really can’t trust anything with the Orioles pitching right now.  Someone get Adley a new girlfriend please…   MARINERS White Sox RHP Davis Martin has been better this season at avoiding a massive blow-up, but he still gives up a ton of hits and something to note is that he’s never really thrown more than 100 total IP in a season.  Expect him to hit a massive wall soon and with the Mariners hitting well (shocker, away from home)…...
