SLATE NOTES There are some more ‘early’ games today, and more of the 6:40 start times which I hope go away next season with faster games, but I doubt it. This leaves us with an 11 game MAIN slate on both DK & FD today and we are batting 1.000 on the season with site synchronicity. Tomorrow, however, will be the first true exam for the sites to figure out what to do with a slate that has a 12:35 game, six in the 1pm window, three in the 2pm window, two mid afternoon west coast games and the Jays and Royals at 7pm. But that is for tomorrow and so you can plan your mid week afternoon lunch plans when you wake up tomorrow. On to today, our first Tuesday of the MLB season and we look to see if more odd home run results happen like David Dahl and Ha-seong Kim going back to back to ruin the 4 leg dogs parlay. Or Seth Brown off Emmanuel Clase in Oakland on an April night, or how about this Jason Heyward guy for the Dodgers? What in the world is going on? It’s as if lefties are all homering now that the shift is gone, which makes zero sense unless pitchers were just approaching lefties entirely differently knowing they had the shift on and now they pitch them normal? Very weird, but also very small sample size… WEATHER Very good ‘warm’ weather tonight for April 4th. Two of the three games with rain are in domes that will likely be closed (Milwaukee, Texas) and the third is in St. Louis but my early read is they have a good window to get the game in so long as the early rain doesn’t drench the field too much, same with Kauffman Stadium… Rain Concerns Braves at Cardinals Blue Jays at Royals Tonight’s heavy wind game is in Kauffman Stadium – 22 mph winds out to LF, which also has a really good Dewpoint tonight. Max Scherzer (DK: $10,800, FD: $10,800) Max is ready, Max is fine. Max is going to get past Yelich and then ride his way to a 7+ strikeout performance tonight. Congrats to Milwaukee on hitting some dingers yesterday, they’ll be lucky to post a 2 spot today. Shane Bieber (DK: $10,500) Generally early in the season we don’t always go up and pay double…...
