WEATHER
All clear, the only spot with potential rain is the Astros at Nationals. What could possibly go wrong with a Nationals rain delay?
KEVIN GAUSMAN (DK: $9000)
I feel like I have for the majority of the time become more risk-adverse when it comes to pitching for MLB DFS. Yesterday we hit on a nice Peter Lambert, but today I want to find something clean and safe. Gausman’s the better pick than Schlittler IMO. The Rays stadium for them has been a good hitters park with improved lighting and Gausman’s getting Giants coming back out of Coors and into their home park.
The same game could also be considered for SP2 with Landen Roupp if we just chalk up his last start as a ‘bad’ blip on the radar.
SP2 OPTIONS
Im not going to lie and say any of these are different from each other today. My personal lean is on Reynaldo Lopez, but he is coming off a ceiling start.
- Reynaldo Lopez (Atlanta – $7100)
- Brandon Pfaadt (Arizona – $6800) … Yes, seriously
- Landen Roupp (San Francisco – $8300)
ASTROS
Outside of the obvious Yordan Alvarez, you’re more likely to win if Houston scores by having Trammell, Smith, Walker than Altuve/Paredes. Turning the lineup over vs the Nationals is not hard, and when the bullpen for the Nats gets involved you’ll just take anyone against them.
- Yordan Alvarez
- Taylor Trammell
BREWERS
I’m sorry, are we shocked that Dustin May has come back down to earth? The Cardinals should have shipped his ass to an American League buyer when they had the chance.
