WEATHER Expect a delay for the Giants-Braves game in Atlanta, but I think they’ll play. DAVIS MARTIN (DK: $9000) Martin versus Cole is a very good RH pitching matchup. Martin had one blip up in Minnesota two starts ago, but we have chilly temps for this time of year in Yankee Stadium + No Judge of course & Martin really isn’t bothered by lefties all that much. His breaking pitches and his fastball will keep him upright enough to match Cole toe for toe in what I have as a good pitchers duel. ANDRE PALLANTE (DK: $7800) I’m not one to lean into BvP that much – but I decided to check while looking for a single reason to not use Pallante tonight. I found nothing. In fact, I found what the overall data and logic says. Machado/Bogaerts/Merill/Tatis really haven’t done a ton as long as Pallante is not walking them and the Cardinals righty is keeping his walks down & keeping the ball down as well. San Diego looks awful offensively tonight. GERRIT COLE (DK: $9500) I cannot write what I wrote above, and then write what I am going to write below and not come to the conclusion that Gerrit Cole is one of the top 3 arms tonight. GUT PICK MERRILL KELLY (DK: $6900) This pitching slate absolutely fucking blows. Watch all the ‘blah’ guys get you are 14 tonight without being blown up. Such is the case for “please close the roof and I wont suck” Merrill Kelly – who is at the end of his line as a pitcher and hopefully never appears in this article again after we sneak out one more 13 point game from him. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS Hunter Brown will return for Houston tonight. They got him 10k against a Tigers offense that’s woken up. Just silly Logan Gilbert likely with the most Logan Gilbert line ever tonight. 6 innings, 3 ER, 2 HR, 2 BB, 5 K. Robert Gasser is tempting vs the Jose Ramirez-less Guardians ASTROS Framber is BACK in Houston??? Aye. I know he’s not very tall, but he is himself a lefty and this is not usually good for the pitcher coming back home. Christian Walker Isaac Parades Jose Altuve Yordan Alvarez METS I’m going right back here. Sure, I was too cute last night. Now we get reverse blowout theory +…...
