SLATE NOTES Sunday Site Synchronicity, ten games on both main slates today. WEATHER Colder than yesterday in a few spots, namely DC, nowhere near the same good hitting conditions today there as well as NY, Boston, Cincy Wind blowing out to LCF in Wrigley, good for hitting Wind blowing out to LF in St. Louis Wind blowing out to LF (18 mph) in Kansas City Most of the names going today won’t “wow” you on the surface, but I don’t think this is a horrible pitching slate overall. There are a good number of ‘new’ names to go through today. Kodai Senga being the headliner, but we also have Jared Shuster (Lefty, Braves), Jhony Brito (RHP, Yankees) making debuts.

JOE RYAN There are three traditions in April. The tradition unlike any other in Augusta, GA, Taxes and the Kansas City Royals going from the #1 offense in Spring Training to the #30 offense in April. Every. Fucking. Year. They leave the warm weather in Arizona thinking they can hit a ton of homers only to go to cold Missouri where they can’t hit shit off a stick. JEFFREY SPRINGS Springs rating isn’t above a 75 on our model today, but that’s actually right where he should be. While Detroit isn’t great, they’ll be able to put the ball in play enough here that at best you get a 20 DK fpts from him. 5-6 IP, chance for the win and 6 strikeouts. I expect a lot of other pitchers to pitch ‘well’ today, but nobody is gonna be great and I feel best about the…...
