WEATHER Very light Chances of rain in Kansas City and Chicago.   Another slate where the pitching options just don’t seem to excite much interest. Ryan Bergert (DK: $7500, FD: $8100) Jeffrey Springs (DK: $7300, FD: $7700) … The Tony LaRussa series minus the White Sox continues again tonight.  Exciting, I know. Aaron Nola (DK: $7700, FD: $8600) … Two things are absolutely true here.  #1, the Brewers are a great offense.  #2, Aaron Nola is not the same pitcher he used to be years ago.  #3.  Okay, I can’t count, but Nola on the road is never a friendly spot.  I think you take a little risk here tonight though.  Nola’s good for going 6, he shouldnt give up more than 2-3 ER tonight & the random day off yesterday is advantage pitchers as the offense likely has hiccups and isn’t stack worthy.   GIANTS CUBS ROYALS   CATCHER Shea Langeliers Carson Kelly J.T.

Im sure there is some stupid reason – but why are the Phillies and Brewers not playing tonight? WEATHER No issues forecasted.   The big game tonight will be Fried in Houston vs Valdez.  Two guys who when they are on could roll through to a 3-2 type game.  I think you either game stack them  both and take the cheap bats route or you fade the game pitching entirely.  Dont dabble.  I am not dabbling. LOGAN WEBB (DK: $9000, FD: $10,400) He is in Coors but he is reliable here.   There’s nobody grading out as a top end play tonight, so relying upon a 100+ PC guy who should be in long enough with a big enough lead to get the win bonus is how I am playing this. LUIS SEVERINO (DK: $6200, FD: $8200) Favorable park shift for Severino. ALSO DONT MIND Basically just punting pitching with one of Lorenzen, Rasmussen, Martin or Wentz….  They’re all gross tonight but Rasmussen is probably the most likely to not burn you out of that mix.  It’s a terrible SP night.  Terrrrribbl….   GIANTS Ramos, Adames, Devers, Chapman The Giants have some guys who have gotten hot of late & being in Coors again is a good thing for them to keep that going. ROYALS Witt, Garcia The Royals have a long running challenge of not doing well against guys that the pro-level scouts haven’t been able to see.  They will draw a lefty (Mitch Farris) making his debut, and Farris was not great in the minors.  This is a very easy spot for them to do well, but, history tells us they wont YANKEES / ASTROS Goldschmidt, Walker Isolated bats, but take advantage of mistakes from the lefties if fading them.  Stanton, Goldy, Pena, Walker.  Love Walker ALSO GOTTA LIKE Mariners at Rays Orioles at Padres   CATCHER Gabriel Moreno Yainer Diaz Salvador Perez   FIRST BASE If you are a first baseman who used to play for the Diamondbacks, you are likely going to hit a homer tonight.

Quick late notes before lock for this Labor Day 1PM slate.   BRAYAN BELLO BAILEY OBER SONNY GRAY   SLEEPER:  Spencer Strider   BLUE JAYS vs REDS Either this is gonna be 1-0 and a classic Tito Francona game, or the Jays do get to Greene and its 9-8.  Bassitt definitely should get hammered by the Reds. PHILLIES vs BREWERS Love Schwarber.  Love, Love, Love him today and think this game is a good sneaky 4PM late hammer   CATCHER Yainer Diaz William Contreras Ryan Jeffers   FIRST BASE Warming Bernabel Josh Bell Andrew Vaughn   SECOND BASE Ozzie Albies Brice Turang Gavin Lux   THIRD BASE Carlos Correa Alec Bohm Alex Bregman Mark Vientos   SHORTSTOP Francisco Lindor Trevor Story CJ Abrams   OUTFIELD – Mt.

FanDuel has moved into NFL season.  And fuck them for their stupid social media posts bashing the Saints.   WEATHER Tigers at Royals:  Rain in this one, but it’s a scenario they could decide to go ahead and get the game in.  The Royals really need it though and with Skubal going, maybe the grounds crew finds a way to fuck things up on the field and … oh – will you look at that, we gotta reschedule.  Sorry, Tigers.  Have a nice flight   HUNTER BROWN (DK: $10,800, FD: $10,800) A hot start, then a brick wall, and now back to close out the season strong.  Brown’s getting  acold Trout, cold Adell, cold Ward and just doesn’t have much competition if Skubal gets rained out as the top pitcher going today. LUCAS GIOLITO (DK: $9000, FD: $9200) I would expect Giolito to actually be 20%+ owned even with Woodruff and Ryan in the same price range.  The match-up is just that much cleaner vs the Pirates and not worth ignoring. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS Mitch Keller will pitch well vs Boston. Any lefty against the Nationals right now is a good play.  Ian Seymour though isnt likely to throw more than 75 pitches, so his $6800 price isn’t that great of a salary relief, but the Nats are likely going to strikeout 6 times in the 5 innings he pitches if he can be efficient.   MARINERS Crawford, Raleigh METS Nimmo, Lindor, Alonso   CATCHER Cal Raleigh Ryan Jeffers Freddy Fermin   FIRST BASE Paul Goldschmidt Pete Alonso Nathaniel Lowe   SECOND BASE I feel like everyone here had a big Saturday, so expect some dudes or the guys who didnt to wake up.  That said, Love all three here.

The first full Saturday of the season with a dynamite Noon kick off game and then a pretty darn good night slate tonight as well.  As one would expect you have some ‘cupcake’ type games early in this season which will factor into determining if you want to full stack a team who is likely […]

WEATHER All clear   The big game tonight for pitching is going to be Logan Webb vs Freddy Peralta.  Both are 10k+, and I won’t really convince you that the Giants are gonna hit a few homers again, but the Brewers at home are not to be picked on IMO.  So stay away and take some risks elsewhere… GEORGE KIRBY (DK: $9700, FD: $10k) DEAN KREMER (DK: $8500, FD: $9100) CLAY HOLMES (DK: $7400, FD: $7900) ALSO DONT MIND Jeffrey Springs (Athletics)   Sorry, Nestor Cortes does not deserve another start for San Diego, but if they wanna tempt fate then go right ahead.

WEATHER Should be all clear, maybe a storm in Atlanta.   BRYAN WOO (DK: $10,500, FD: $10,600) Great form and back at home in the pitcher friendly Seattle environment. CASEY MIZE (DK: $8300, FD: $9500) Very interesting series starting up in Detroit tonight as the Tigers are white hot again and the Royals are playing good enough to win.  The price on Mize is what tempts me here, because he should be able to get through 6 innings, but the Royals have seen him enough to be able to limit his strikeouts. BLAKE SNELL (DK: $9300, FD: $10,200) Yes, this is the ‘hype’ it up series & they both know each other very well of course.  A little contrarian late night spot here on a slate with limited “safe” pitching options IMO. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS Ohter guys I can buy into tonight include Zebby Matthews, Ryan Bergert and Ryan Gusto …   RAYS … Good park for the Cardinals lefties on the road too – but Miles Mikolas!  That’s the story folks. BREWERS … #AlwaysMilwaukee? CUBS … The west coast should wake up Kyle Tucker — even if he is hurt. REDS     CATCHER William Contreras Jose Trevino Agustin Ramirez   FIRST BASE Yandy Diaz Justin Turner Vinnie Pasquantino   SECOND BASE Brandon Lowe Nico Hoerner Luke Keaschall   THIRD BASE Nolan Gorman Junior Caminero Carlos Correa   SHORTSTOP Joey Ortiz Elly De La Cruz Dansby Swanson   OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore Kyle Tucker Aaron Judge Isaac Collins Lars Nootbar   OUTFIELD – Tier II Chas McCormick / Cam Smith … Both hitting low in the order which sucks for DFS but the Houston offense should finally do damage against Povich.   Kyle Tucker – OF – Chicago Cubs – Chairman of The Dongers Club … #MrAnaheim BETS MARLINS ML – Favorite Bet tonight Cubs ML Astros/Orioles OVER 9.5

WEATHER All green lights. Wrigley has 10 mph in from left   NOAH CAMERON (DK: $9000, FD: $9300) … Weak Opponent YUSEI KIKUCHI (DK: $8500, FD: $9600) … K Upside DREW RASMUSSEN (DK: $8100, FD: $9200) … Contrarian and cheap   ATHLETICS I am back on the Athletics tonight.  The bigger upside with Ober is the HR rate can explode when he is off & the way the Athletics have hard contact guys at the top of the order they’re a nice YRFI play as well. DODGERS Tanner Gordon is just a trainwreck.  Freeman/Conforto probably the two who logically stand out but in Coors you play the salary game, which means happy Miguel Rojas 3-5 with 4 RBI night! ANGELS Zach Neto, Mike Trout, Yoan Moncada Trout is going to send one into the rocks.   CATCHER Will Smith Shea Langeliers Hunter Fedducia   FIRST BASE Nick Kurtz Freddie Freeman Vinnie Pasquantino   SECOND BASE Miguel Rojas Brice Turang Ozzie Albies   THIRD BASE Miguel Vargas Yoan Moncada Maikel Garcia   SHORTSTOP Zach Neto Brooks Lee Darell Hernaiz   OUTFIELD – Mt.
