Today is a loaded slate in terms of pure Baseball. There are at least five double-headers by my count going on today to make up PPD games which reduces what is normally a large Friday slate down to just 9 games on both sites. New Interleague series beginning today Brewers at Indians Padres at Athletics Marlins at Rays – Not on DFS slate. WEATHER NOTES Good news. No issues. Quiet Friday! I hope… Jack Flaherty Clear cut #1 choice today. Jack Flaherty is just now getting into a little bit of a routine having made three starts since the Cardinals came off the COVID list as a team. Some might see some heavy wind blowing out in Wrigley today and shy away but Jack is the better SP to lock in against a worse lineup as his own team is starting to heat up. Dustin May Limited good choices in the mid range today and so the plus side for May being at home and against the Rockies is enough to lock him in as a second pitcher. Tyler Anderson I will continue to pick on Arizona and the other cheap SP2 choice today I looked at here was Yusei Kikuchi, but I am not ready to throw in the towel on 2020 just yet. So let’s go with Anderson picking on Arizona which has maybe 1 or 2 bats who can scare me tonight with some HR pop in San Francisco which is now a smaller park and has been much better all season. But it is cooler tonight and Arizona has been terrible away from home all season long. Outside The Box Brady Singer In a game that looks to be high scoring, it’s Singer who has the advantage. Yoan Moncada came out and admitted that he isn’t right offensively and has very little power between COVID and a hamstring injury. He’s the main LH (Switch hitter) bat that would give Singer major issues today and the White Sox do offer a lot of strike-out potential when facing a RHP. This is very much a spread it out night, not a slate where I would look too heavy at just one team. So if I hear anyone saying “Team X let me down tonight” or “Team Y needs to get it going” then you’ll get a slap in the face from me. St…....
