WEATHER All clear This is a sneaky good pitching slate with lots of depth. WILL WARREN (DK: $9300) Two dubs gets the nod at the top because he’s facing the Rangers and he is good. Easy math. COLE RAGANS (DK: $8800) Somehow Cole Ragans is only 1-4. Oh, right, he had one start vs Cleveland when he took a line drive back from Jose Ramirez and then imploded when the Royals didn’t pull him out. Then he had his 3 HR game in Seattle where the Mariners hitters find a way to ruin me whenever I try to use a SP vs them and that one dominant start vs the Angels with 11 strikeouts at home. We gotta buy into the Royals ace who has just been unlucky but the Angels dominant start is more of what he is capable of. FREDDY PERALTA (DK: $8000) Repeat from last nights PPD. Cold in Coors, Peralta pitches well there. THE DEPTH Other pitchers who are going to do just fine… Paul Skenes – $9800 feels … like a trap? Nate Eovaldi Jeffrey Springs MARLINS Somehow the Marlins lost last night. They won’t tonight. They’ll get to Young with no issues & then the Orioles pen is a little tired on the LHP side, they should have trouble with the Marsee-Stowers combo at the top of the lineup tonight. Could even talk me into 5 Marlins. Kyle Stowers Jakob Marsee Liam Hicks TIGERS There’s definitely some brawl potential here. A great breakdown was done by Eric Hosmer last night showing that Boston was basically stealing pitch grips from Framber Valdez and after he was getting torn up he decided to plunk Trevor Story. Sonny Gray has not pitched since April 20th and I dont have much confidence the guy is going to be pitching come June 20th. Sonny Gray has 13+ years service time, he has no patience to be messing around with this bad team this season. If he is pitching in July or beyond, it’s probably going to be for the Cubs, Braves or some AL Central team — like Detroit. I think he gets hit around today & the Sox pen has to do more than they should.
