What an odd slate of games today.  Nine games as a bunch of new series kick off but there’s also some double headers and early start times.  I honestly don’t see why we cannot just have games lock at 6:05 every night when there are the 6PM games but I guess there are bigger issues out there. When I say odd slate of games, things I am just less than enthusiastic about are Brewers vs Tigers, White Sox vs Pirates and Orioles vs Mets.   I mean….  Sure, there’s some good DFS plays hidden in there but holy hell you could open up the stadiums for these games and I doubt anyone would go.   WEATHER Rain rain, go away, come again another day… Do not ask me about weather before lock.  I have been very clear about this all season long and all you’re doing is asking me a question I have already answered.  I say this not to be a dick but just to re-program it into your brains. If the game starts in a delay – run away. If the game starts on time – it’s fine. That is your golden rule for 2020.  OK?  That said, here’s the ones you’ll need to be aware of RAIN Brewers at Tigers … Light rain, wind out to RIGHT field.  I suspect Reds at Cubs … Light rain and the wind is blowing in HEAVILY. ROOFS Angels at Rangers … No word but not scorching hot, I would be shocked if the roof was closed outside of a pop-up thunderstorm coming in but that seems unlikely today. Dodgers at Diamondbacks … Under 100 degrees, gotta think roof opens up.   Walker Buehler DK ($10,200) & FD ($10,400) Despite the roof most likely being open and Arizona back at home where they are league average, this is a spot where Buehler should be more than safe to mow down the bad Diamondbacks lineup. Mike Clevinger DK ($9,700) & FD ($9,600) – prefer him on FD by a slight margin over Walker. Unlike his first start as a Padre, Sunshine has an elite strike-out match-up against the Rockies today and I don’t fear Nolan like I did last night against Lamet (which obviously failed). Spencer Turnbull DK Only – $8,500 Turnbull has been a decent pitcher this year up until his last few starts, including his last one against Houser and the…...
