Kyle Wright
I believe Wright will out perform Cole tonight and for nearly 2k cheaper than deGrom he makes far more sense against a bad Rockies lineup. So long as he can maybe avoid pitching to Ryan McMahon tonight.
You take the Blue Pill, and you take Jacob deGrom and all the donkey value….
You take the Red Pill, and we ride with the contrarian bats and the cheap SP2 choices tonight. The choice is yours…
Anibal Sanchez
Both Anibal and Kaprielian are going to be considered value plays today and when you have two guys who are even take the one who is $1200 cheaper and also likely to strike out 2 more hitters.
Bailey Falter
Philly wins. Falter is not as talented as his opponent Tommy Henry but he has had a longer cup of coffee in the majors and should know how to pitch around some trouble tonight.

Other pitching notes
deGrom is fine yes but I would look at Tyler Anderson more in that game.

Chicago Puke Sox
Insert a *GIF* here of some dude vomiting while taking a giant dump and you have my desire to really want to roll out Chicago today. But I can’t help but take a bite out of the Andrus/Vaughn/Abreu/Eloy chalk fest which is going to allow lineups to build with deGrom and Cole or Wright today. It cashes. Does it win? No, but it cashes.

Seattle Mariners
Haniger, Suarez, France, J-Rod
Don’t confuse Tyler Anderson with Tyler Alexander and it’s Alexander who gets to face Julio, France, Haniger and Suarez to lead things off for the Mariners who are going to no doubt put up another good game today.

SHORTSTOP
It’s not that Elvis is going to go 4-5 with 2 doubles and a homer, it’s that Elvis is going to go 1-4 with a walk and two runs scored and your pitcher won’t be negative with him.
- Elvis Andrus
- Xander Bogaerts
- Nico Hoerner than Ron Jeremy
[spacer height=”10px”]
OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore
- Mike Trout … Nobody will have Trout tonight because A: He is facing Cole and B: there are SP to pay for. But my gut says he has a big night.
