Last time I checked there were still 30 teams in Major League Baseball. Yet, here we are, on a Friday in August and there are just 28 of them who are in play for some stupid reason. No, it’s not the Field of Dreams game, because that is coming next week, instead we have the Athletics and Giants off today. I know you are all very, very upset about this. WEATHER Couple spots to monitor in the Northeast tonight, both games should wind up getting played though as it’s just storms rolling through Astros at Yankees — 50-60% chance of rain throughout the game. I do like a SP here, so we have to monitor it… Blue Jays at Red Sox — Not using SP here, it’ll be humid, ball should jump and wind carries out to LCF too. Slight chance of rain early and then a pop up thunderstorm. REID DETMERS The Mariners have the second highest K% on the slate, the 6th highest over the last week and rank 30th in all of MLB against what Detmers should throw 50% of the time tonight. He’s setup to dominate as he usually pitches well at home too. LOGAN C. ALLEN We’re staying in the mid range but not going down too low on pitching tonight. Andrew Heaney just carved up these damn morons from the south side, so Logan C. Allen at home is no concern for me ither. The White Sox with a heavy RHH lineup project for a fairly low .134 ISO against LcA, so the risk here should be low. HUNTER BROWN Normally this is probably where I would get cold feet and run away from a SP against a bad offense that burned me the night before. F*** it though. New York blows, give me Hunter Brown here, he’s not limited and he is showing no signs of not being able to push through for 6 innings and 7+ strikeouts today if he can avoid a rain delay. OTHER NOTES … James Paxton in Canada vs the Jays? Yes. James Paxton at home vs the Jays? Heck no. Aaron Nola is likely to get 20 on the white hot Royals today. Kinda think he is fine for use on FanDuel, but how can I fade the Royals right now??? HOW? Bobby Miller will give up a homer to Fernando Tatis, but still…...
