SLATE INTRO Last night kicked off like it was going to be another high scoring DFS night for everyone but then our horses ended up pushing ahead into the lead. I haven’t heard from a single person who wasn’t cashing last night and in many cases folks were going extremely high. Especially those who were using the proper contest selection with their tournaments and raking in 10x to first prizes. Today is a decent Saturday slate as MLB only has a few early games scheduled and one of which includes a Nationals-Marlins double header so cross off your ability to play Max Scherzer and his 7 inning no hitter today. Sorry. Everything locks tonight at 7:05 and we have synchronicity as both sites have the exact same 10 games. But only one of them has Lord Ryan Mountcastle for the Orioles (c’mon FanDuel, fix your player pool!) WEATHER Looks clear again tonight of any PPD but I do see some heavy humid spots with a lack of rain Baltimore (this stands out to me) Chicago & wind is slightly blowing out again San Diego After Berrios on Thursday and Buehler on Friday we have no doubt made up for ole Ross Stripling earlier this week and we’re tempted to search for the third straight pitcher who has been below his talent level to start the season and watch him come out and have that extremely solid performance today because things happen in three’s. Unfortunately, that guy is Max Scherzer, who is pitching on the 4:05 early slate and is in a 7 inning game as part of a Double Header & depending upon when I post this and you see this, he’s likely already started and you are wondering why I am wasting space on it. Well, I just wanted to state for the record that he’s going to pitch all 7 innings today because I don’t think he allows a single hit and strikes out 12 Marlins over 7 innings and we’re all left wondering if it’s a legit no hitter. On to the Main slate Zac Gallen This won’t be a double digit strikeout performance — or it shouldn’t be in my eyes. But the Giants winning streak coupled with the Diamondbacks losing streak pinpoints this as the obvious D’Backs win play today. San Francisco has been raking against LHP and I can’t recall exactly…...
