Congrats to JetersGirl on the win in the April contest. We will be doing the next one in late May, so tell your friends to get their asses over here to DailyAmbush to be a part of a great community. [spacer height=”20px”] As usual on Saturday, FanDuel has chopped up their slates to mirror that of a little league schedule at your local ballparks and so we’re just going to completely ignore them for these Early games. There are six total games which cover this afternoon/early slate and they include DBags vs Cardinals Astrovs vs Jays Angels vs White Sox Nats vs Giants Guardians of the Galaxy vs Athletics Twins vs Rays WEATHER The Angels vs White Sox game should have showers moving in after first pitch but it’s not as cold as it has been of late in Chicago and so I think they will play through the conditions. We’re not using a pitcher in this game either way so I am not overly concerned here. The D’Backs and the Cardinals game has strong winds out to left field with a good Dew Point as well.

Last year the Athletics had the biggest boost in actual production from night games to day games at home of any team in the league. But this years team is obviously not the same lineup & Bieber should carve them up for 8-10 strikeouts. LOGAN WEBB The umpire last night went and pissed off Juan Soto and now he looks like he might be awake, but after that we have very little concern for Webb outside of facing the Nationals a second time in one week. This time he is at home however and even though Soto or Cruz could connect for a solo HR I don’t see a 3-run bomb or too many crooked number possibilities for the Nationals. JOSE BERRIOS There is no easy third option to recommend today, but the one player I would take a longshot on is Jose Berrios, we are approaching the time of year where he usually settles in and has a great feel for his Curveball and the average Exit Velo on all the Astros he has faced is fairly reasonable. I can definitely see Berrios winding up ahead of Webb or Bieber…...
