A short quick slate tonight brings a quick short article. Let’s just not over think this tonight.

WEATHER
Look for high scoring games tonight with heavy humidity everywhere. No PPD risk.

KEVIN GAUSMAN
When I say lets not over think this, I mean lets take Gausman to do what Berrios could not do last night. He should not have the LHB split issues that Jose had and in fact he should do just the opposite pitching a 7 inning, 10 strikeout performance.
NATE EOVALDI
With Max, Castillo and even Garrett being potential chalk tonight look for Eovaldi to be < 5% owned in a game where he is coming off an Ambush from Toronto and now can get back to his normal self. Boston wins this game today and even though Cleveland isn’t a big K team, they will still have trouble with him today.

Other
If you wanted to get a little contrarian or cute I do not mind Adam Wainwright or Cal Quantrill for cheaper in game stacks with the SP above.

There are three games above all else that I would focus on for offense today and you will want to make sure you are going on a heavy stack for teams tonight, don’t be cute and try to do a Steve Renner where you go 2-2-1-1-1-1, that aint it today. Once you settle the team for a lineup, it should take you 5 seconds to build that lineup, hit save, and then drink your beer.

Marlins vs Reds
The Reds are going to smack Braxton Garrett around and might still lose. Cincinnati should be smart with Castillo who is a top trade target and has no reason to pitch deep tonight. I am banking on that, plus extreme hitter conditions and leverage here for the Marlins to do damage.
Rays vs Orioles
Hello Ji-Man Choi night. Choi, Raley, Randy vs Santander, Hays and Santander. There’s enough humidity in this game that both sides can get a boost.
Both pitchers have been GOOD vs LHB this year but I really don’t think they are what we consider dominant vs LHB and so I am comfortable attacking this spot.
Juiced Ball Series (Yanks/Mets)
First inning homers should be on the menu again in Citi Field. Yes, it’s warm, but for crying out loud it’s still Citi Field in a night game and it was just hilarious that 4 homers were jacked out in the first inning last night and then none after that.
Domingo German is the obvious target as Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor are sure to give him fits, but I can assure you Max gives up 2 homers tonight as well.
