It’s July, why are we starting games at 6:40 PM still. I just want to state that as a Baseball fan there was something special about the full slate of games last night and when we get that 15 game slate again at some point in the future (hopefully) it’s going to feel so natural again.
Alas, we have a 13 game slate tonight without the Twins/Guardians and Dodgers/Phillies
WEATHER
Those of us on the East Coast are being primed to some severe weather threats here all day today, so I am eager to see just how much of a beating we actually get and then later tonight it should move up to Boston and New York making those two spots at risk today
- Pirates at Yankees: I doubt they play
- Orioles at Red Sox: If this PPD tonight then Boston’s streak ends. If not, they win again.
- Nationals at Rockies: Likely in game delay
Noah Schultz (DK: $6900)
Yes, he is my number one tonight. I know a dominant outing on a team who is gives up now when I see it (or so I say well before the slate locks). Teams have avoided rolling lefties against Schultz, but with Joc and Nimmo being the main hitters for Texas right now as they probably wanna be traded I don’t see them sitting. Advantage massively to Schultz. Give him 90 pitches, he gets 8 strikeouts today.
Chase Burns (DK: $11,500)
Should be chalk and easy to play at this price with Schultz being locked in as our SP1.
Drew Rasmussen (DK: $9700)
This probably winds up being a close and well pitched game, but as we stated yesterday, you do not go against the Rays when they go up to Toronto. It’s like the Lightning coming in to destroy the Leafs or … well, that’s all we got, so yeah, the Ras vs Gaus matchup is pretty good for both doing well, but lean on Rasmussen.
NATIONALS vs ROCKIES
Coors should Coors tonight. Do the process of no more than 4 players total, 2 from each side….
- Nats: James Wood, CJ Abrams, Nasim Nunez
- Rocks: Cole Carrigg, Jake McCarthy
GIANTS
- Rafael Devers
- Luis Arraez
- Bryce Eldridge
- Willy Adames
MARLINS
This lineup just needs to be patient. Imai will throw a ton of junk and they can not only move on the bases but deliver a big blow with men on base. Expect Miami to come down to Hicks/Conine/Marsee and having to get a huge hit to clear the bases. I love the upside potential here.
- Xavier Edwards
- Griffin Conine
- Jakob Marsee
- Heriberto Hernandez
