Only seven games on the Monday slates — sadly there is no Cardinals vs Reds to include here as this is a perfect spot for the Cardinals to finally get right and good chance the entire series plays out and we get no part of it. Which totally sucks. The other major highlight today is that it is Matt Adams birthday. Happy Birthday to that giant turd nugget who got DFA’d last night… Ha-Ha! Only one inter-league game tonight (Atlanta at Boston) WEATHER NOTES Washington at Philadelphia – Rain coming in as the game progresses on but … well, no, I am not going to predict weather involving a Phillies and Nationals game…. Cleveland at Kansas City – Same dice I am paying up for pitching today the hitting feels very flat…. Shane Bieber We started the season off with a bang back on Opening Day when Bieber mowed down a bad Royals lineup at home. He’ll travel to KC where they are better offensively and come into this game having been better in recent form but it’s still not a reason to really stray away from Bieber tonight. Gerrit Cole The temptation on Cole is that he is a little cheaper than Bieber, but they’re still in the same price tier and thus Cole has to be looked at a notch below Bieber. Cole is facing a better team and one that the Yankees have really struggled to find a way to beat of late. While I gotta think he has a solid outing, it’s not realistic to expect him to blow away Bieber tonight, so he is second tier. If you wanna ride the value train on DK for hitting then get VERY bold and pair them both together. Brad Keller Keller will give you 6 innings and not blow up. For $6900 on DK if you get the right SP1 out of Bieber-Cole-Giolito (don’t go Giolito please) then you’ll glady take his 6 IP, 5 Hits, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 strike out performance today. Cleveland has a couple hitters who are hitting well and Carlos Santana is a favorite play of mine but realistically he’s the guy who walks twice. Outside The Box / DK Value Trevor Williams I suspect a lot of ownership on Suter in this game but Williams faces an equally bad lineup and his weakness has mostly been against…...
