WEATHER Very slight rain delay chances in the Red Sox/Yankees and Diamondbacks/Reds games tonight, but neither is any PPD risk. All in all it’s a favorable weather night for offense but nothing extreme yet. SETH LUGO (DK: $8800, FD: $8900) Second start after coming off the IL for a brief couple weeks. The Tigers roughed him up, but the White Sox are not likely to do that much damage against Mr. Kitchen sink throwing everything he can against other teams. I put everything on his last start on a guy who throws everything he can just being rusty. KODAI SENGA (DK: $9000, FD: $10.6k) Congrats to the Rockies on their sweep in South Beach and now they’ll come back home to Coors against the Mets — who are coming off a Dodgers series — and we get the absolute worst Coors Field game anyone has ever seen. 0-0 through 5 innings with the Mets then exploding for 7 or 8 chalk runs in the final two innings once they wake up. For the Rockies vs Senga, they’ve got no shot — even at home. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS TARIK SKUBAL: The Cubs bring their good vs LHP lineup in to Comerica Park against an $11,500 Tarik Skubal. The guy is pitching great, yes. He is the best pitcher in the game, yes. He is not that automatic of a ‘blind’ play him no matter what scenario here. I do like a good amount of value bats tonight though, so he can be fit. SPENCER SCHWELLENBACH: … Just play Skubal? Im not a big fan of either pitcher in the Houston/Cleveland game but they’re cheap and viable as punt options. This is the really tough section to write up today as I could probably come up with half a dozen teams and still wouldn’t be touching on all the ones who pop off for me today. Let’s first cover the ‘Games’ that have the most interest to me. Padres at Brewers: If this game ends up 3-2 I am going to be furious, but it’s path to ending 3-2 is both teams leaving men on base. Really want the Padres side, but the Brewers are facing the worse pitcher who is finally losing his glass slipper. Tatis/Merrill vs Choriou/Yelich is a monster decision for stacks. The keys are Luis Arraez having a huge night and Manny Machado having 2+ XBH. Lean…...
