WEATHER The wind is blowing out in most stadiums tonight, but none of them are really going to warrant mentioning to make you over think things. I mean, the one which honestly stands out the most to me is in Coors Field blowing out to RF, but it’s Coors so it’s not like anyone is shocked that it would produce runs. No PPD issues tonight either, so on with the show. LOGAN GILBERT Just write down the floor tonight for Gilbert at 6 IP, 6 K and 1 ER allowed vs the Brewers. His ceiling however could go much higher depending upon how he does vs Adames and Tellez in the heart of the Milwaukee lineup, if he strikes them out or gets through with a breeze then we’re looking at Gilbert as the #1 SP by far tonight. MARCUS STROMAN Stroman is not a pitcher who comes out and puts up 5 or 6 dominant starts in a row as he’ll always have that once every 2-3 weeks start which is just ugly. But it’s Oakland and it’s a scenario where only the Cubs defense (which is very good) could wind up giving him problems tonight. NATE EOVALDI Last week in Texas, the Royals got to Nate for 6 ER on 10 hits, but they also struck out 7 times over 91 pitches from Nate. Expect a cooler offense for KC today as Melendez/Salvy aren’t doing much at the moment and the Royals don’t hit as well at home in April. Probably need 100+ pitches from Eovaldi to beat out the guys above — which he doesn’t do enough, but I do think at $7800 he’ll be a good SP2 option on DK. Other pitching thoughts Ken Waldichuk (6100) is the best value pitching option on DK, I would not touch him on a 1 SP site like FanDuel, but should he get 13-15 DK fpts? Yes. Spencer Strider is probably a chalky option today, I want no part of him tonight & same is true for Snell Please do not ask me if I am considering Jose Urena, of course I am…. TWINS Correa, Miranda, Garlick, Vazquez Sometimes I love picking on Sale, other times I am nervous about it. Picking on him with a road AL Central team though feels just right and the Twins absolutely mash LHP when they are on. The hidden…...
