All teams are back from the all-star break today with a day game in Wrigley Field (the way it should be) and then a small turbo slate, followed by our 11 game MAIN slate tonight Couple series highlights to call out for this weekend to get the noggin spining: NYY at ATL: So, wait a minute here. I was told that Aaron Judge wasn’t an option in the All-Star game to do the swing off because of travel plans leaving the game early? I guess, yeah, he had a two day vacation but he didn’t want to spend it in Atlanta? Fair enough. So, ATH at CLE: Love the Athletics all weekend. SF at TOR: Big park shift series for the Giants & they have a handful of hitters who have fared VERY well in Toronto Coors is back: Yep, Coors is here and the Twins are your team to piss you off all weekend long WEATHER I don’t anticipate any PPD games today. Could see some storms down in Atlanta. You will have a good number of pitchers who haven’t thrown in well over a week going the next few days. I don’t really put too much emphasis on this, but you could see it swing either way with some guys being rusty and others being very fresh. SETH LUGO (DK: $9300 / FD: $9700) … Lugo has been rumored in trade talks and if the Royals come out of the ASB and implode then I wouldn’t be shocked to see them shop him around. But hopefully (for me) they don’t do that and he remains their most important arm down the stretch as a guy who is going to not allow more than 2 ER, throw 6 IP and hopefully strikeout 1+ batters per inning. NICK LODOLO (DK: $8400 / FD: $9200) … And this one is trusting a little bit that the Mets come out “off” to start the weekend as a team with heavy veteran presence. Lodolo is pitching great for the Reds & the park is favorable for him to keep the ball in the stadium. With his K% being in the top 20% on this slate I would be shocked if he isn’t a great PT/$ play at 8400 on DK. JP SEARS (DK: $6200 / FD: $8100) … The best of the “cheap” options tonight. Definitely a couple tiers below everyone else but he…...
