WEATHER
All Clear and slightly better than yesterday for offense. The Mets and Rockies game in Coors has been moved up due to weather issues and is nulled from our slate tonight.
CAM SCHLITTLER (DK: $10,000)
Big price here on Cam, and it’s justified. I really hate these wrap-around series and feel like the Monday game when they play 4 over the weekend is always lower scoring. Almost nobody has his upside tonight & as a whole the Orioles lineup is very underwhelming — even if they did get to Fried eventually yesterday.
LOGAN GILBERT (DK: $9000)
So I was not going to write up Gilbert just because I’m pretty certain I have mentioned him almost every start and claimed he’s gonna have his dominant start — only to see him just be average. I mean, why would I keep pushing Gilbert when he now has to face one of the top offenses in the league right now (even without Acuna)? Oh, that’s EXACTLY why we are going with Gilbert my friends.
NOT TOUCHING
- Davis Martin & Jose Soriano: This is a quick turnaround between the White Sox and Angels who met last week & Martin/Soriano both have to deal with facing the same lineup twice. Advantage is on the hitters side.
- JR Ritchie: Price is a little steep IMO. Nerves might be extremely high as he is from the Washington State area – so this is as close to home as he is going to pitch.
CUBS
Another windy game in Wrigley but it’s warmer than yesterday — although the night game does diminish the impact slightly. Cincy’s going with Chase Petty, who has been awful in the short time at the big league level. His expected results should either be absolute dog shit or pretty good velocity. I cannot see him being good for multiple innings in a row, so this is a spot to stack consecutive batters and not one offs
- Bregman / Happ / Suzuki
ROYALS
The Royals had a good weekend in Seattle & lots of guys are hitting the ball hard now. With warmer temps in KC we might finally see the changed dimensions coming into play more & the Royals Italian kings are both prime to take advantage of the Bibee matchup.
- Vinnie Pasquantino
- Jac Caglianone
- Michael Massey
PADRES vs GIANTS
Sneaky game and I think a sneaky series overall. The Giants offense as I have mentioned is putrid, but Randy Vasquez is just as much of a fraud.
