Middle of may. Temps heating up. School years winding down. Lots of ‘rivalry’ interleague series this weekend. Yeah, we’re getting some offense these next 10 days fellas. Specifically to point it out for you, we have:
- Yankees at Mets
- Cubs at White Sox
- Orioles at Nationals
- Dodgers at Angels
- Giants at Athletics
- Royals at Cardinals
- Reds at Guardians
- Brewers at Twins
- Marlins at Rays
- Phillies at Pirates
And then Rangers/Astros and Rockies/Diamondbacks, because you know, they couldn’t find interleague “rivalry” partners for those teams
WEATHER
All clear, warmer and positive for hitting.
Had a long afternoon which kept me from getting this out earlier and adding additional comments on the analysis, but most picks were done early in the morning….
SPENCER ARRIGHETTI (DK: $8200)
On a slate with so many tricky spots, we go to someone who has really ascended this year. Arighetti’s in a spot at home that should be fine for him – even with it being an easier park for the Rangers to hit in.
SPENCER STRIDER (DK: $9200)
If we are going with one Spencer, might s well two, no? It’s a really tough slate to feel confident about two pitchers. He was great in his second start back this year, this is an easier spot than it appears just because its Boston. They’re not good.
CLAY HOLMES (DK: $9000)
Maybe I am stupid for thinking the NY-NY game tonight is low scoring and a pitchers duel, but if I am right you want Holmes not Cam at much lower ownership.
ROCKIES
Fantastic weather & a bad ‘Zona bullpen. Rockies in Coors at home is probably chalk, but good chalk.
