SLATE NOTES We are BACK baby!  Site Synchronicity.  Six games early at 4pm with another six games at the 7pm MAIN slate.  This will cover the six early games Reds at Phillies Royals at Giants Marlins at Mets Athletics at Rays Rangers at Cubs Red Sox at Tigers   WEATHER All games play without issue. Free samples at the COSTCO Warehouse in Tampa also known as Tropicana Field.   BRADY SINGER I am looking forward to another season of folks attacking Singer with lefties.  He should have the strikeout game that Keller didn’t have until late in the game yesterday and the more he too expands his trust in his third pitch (Change) the better he will become.  Singer’s got no limitations depth wise and I don’t think the Giants hit at home like they did on the road. MARTIN PEREZ This one didn’t leap out at me when first going through the options,  but as I look at his K projection on the model and go through the Cubs lineup more and more I see Perez having enough strikeout potential that he can out do Springs as my SP2 option.  The Wrigley Wind isn’t an issue today either so as long as Perez has his command I see no reason not to like him. JEFFREY SPRINGS Springs projects to have a 35% strikeout rate weighted by pitch type against this Athletics lineup and there’s no reason to not expect what he has shown us so far in 2023 (Spring & Regular) to continue vs a weak offense.   Also expect to pitch well: -Tanner Houck — Lasted 5 IP, 70 pitches in his first start of the season.  Don’t believe he pushes beyond 6 & 85 at best today. -Kodai Senga — The Marlins just saw him so that knocks him down for me.   PHILLIES Trea Turner, Alec Bohm, JT Realmuto Trea Turner hasn’t been quiet to start the season, but it does feel that way in DFS terms.  He is always someone I loved against a LHP for HR upside, and the chances he also runs here are pretty good.  Throw in the right splits for Bohm as Lodolo only gives up contact to RHH and we’re looking at a good 1-2-3 stack. RAYS Wander Franco, Isaac Parades, Brandon Lowe All they do right now is win, win, win.  If you want to fade the hottest team…...
