Five game early (more like Afternoon) slate for all these west coast series having their get-away games today. Reds at Rockies Twins at Dodgers D’Backs at Athletics Phillies at Giants Royals at Padres WEATHER Four of the games are in California and all four of those are comfortable 60-70 degree conditions with minimal wind impacts. The Coors Field game is 77 degrees with wind blowing in from center slightly. Everything is fine. Everything will make you want to go play Golf. I am not going to play 80% owned Yu Darvish in a day game vs my Royals, who had their sleep walk game on Monday night and are going to continue another streak now of good hitting. GRAHAM ASHCRAFT Just three strikeouts in each of his last three starts, that corrects itself today with a 6 inning 5 K performance. Who else wants to jump on some Coors Under today? Five game slate, go contrarian for the top or don’t even play folks. DUSTIN MAY The good with Dustin May is he finally learned how to pitch, but the bad with Dustin May is that he’s justified my initial assessment that he is not an Ace long term (it’s called early victory lapping folks). Right now though he’s gotta warrant our consideration. This slate is dog poop for pitching. AUSTIN GOMBER I really want to use Austin Gomber as I think the signs are there to ignite a little run here, but them not pushing him to 100 pitches when pitching well is annoying. The price on him however kinda justifies it for $6,100 and Cincy has some decent strikeout projections to favor a good outing again today. Royals Witt, Pasquantino, Perez, Melendez Yes, I believe the Royals will jump on Darvish today. He’ll drop that splitter where Pasquantino can smash it out of the park and Salvy/Melendez/Olivares come through today as well. Phillies Schwarber, Castellanos, Turner, Bohm Kyle Schwarber is heating up folks, we’re approaching Schwarber season when he absolutely goes on a Nolan Arenado like tear. Just another week or two and you’ll see it, for now though what I’m seeing in Philly are guys around Harper starting to get right. Bohm, Castellanos and before the Schwarber massive heater will be Trea Turner doing Trea Turner things.
