We are assured have having two back to back days of four game slates as there are no days off for the second round of the MLB Playoffs. Both DK and FD have nice contests out there as well for the slate which locks at 2 PM today. Today’s Games Miami vs Atlanta in Minute Maid Park (Houston) Houston vs Oakland in Dodger Stadium (Los Angeles) NY Yankees vs Tampa Bay in Petco Park (San Diego) San Diego vs LA Dodgers in Globe Life Dome (Texas) Weather We had a very profitable day following the weather in the two American League games yesterday. It won’t be as easy of an automatic play today due to the start time and not being so insanely hot in both games. The roof in Arlington is likely OPEN tonight which helps hitters in the Padres/Dodgers series. PITCHING PLAYS Deivi Garcia (Yankees) A quick hook is certainly a concern in this game but we have four divisional match-ups today which means the hitters know the pitchers in every game — except this one. Tampa has not seen Garcia and he has generated a high 36% swing rate at pitches outside of the zone. That’s the type of stat which tells me teams need to see him to learn him and know him — especially left handed heavy teams like the Rays who will be tempted to try and jump on him. While everyone runs to Glasnow for strikeouts in this game, watch Garcia out perform him. Walker Buehler (Dodgers) This is not a smash spot for Buehler but there’s very few pitchers that I expect to dominate today and I’ll ride the worst hitting park on the slate with the better pitcher in the game. Max Fried (Atlanta) Fried really stepped up for the Braves this season when Mike Soroka went down with a season ending injury and he is someone who gets a lot of weak contact and keeps the ball in the ground very well. This Marlins team likely does not hit him extremely hard today despite being a favorable park for a few of their RH hitters. I wouldn’t project him to have a high number of strikeouts but I would trust him on a two pitcher site like DraftKings today.
