Scheduling Notes: The Royals/White Sox is not on any DFS slate tonight, this is a great thing folks. The Yankees/Red Sox G2 of their Double-Header will be on DraftKings MAIN slate tonight.
WEATHER
I believe all games will play.
My top options today:
- Justin Verlander (DK: $10.7k, FD: $10.3k) … Compared to the other high end $ options tonight I have no hesitation with a chalky JV.
- Patrick Sandoval (DK: $7500, FD: $9300) … More of an SP2 DraftKings pick tonight. Seattle has not hit sliders very well and it’s the one pitch that Sandoval can really lean on when he needs to get a big out.
- Bryan Woo (DK: $7900, FD: $9500) … I am not a huge fan but the Angels aren’t very good from the right side and he has been extremely good in those splits with a 28.8% strikeout rate and allowing just .265 xSLG.
Other pitching thoughts
- No dice on Max for me tonight. Toronto’s PA of late have been solid enough and him in this park vs this lineup just smells like a 3-4 HR night. I like Toronto to win this game and the over once again.
- The Beavis and Butthead matchup between Ryne Nelson and Jose Butthole might seem tempting to try and get a couple sub 6500 draftkings options that will not go negative. Unfortunately, Ryne Nelson has as good of a shot at getting 4+ strikeouts as Aaron Rodgers did at having 4 completions last night. Butto is okay as a cheap punt.
- Freddy Peralta for almost 12k. No thank you.
Top games/teams today:
- Chicago Cubs (Tauchman, Happ, Suzuki) … The OF for the Cubs tonight are priced moderate given the Coors environment and the weather is fine.
- Brewers (Santana, Adames, T.Taylor) … The pitching is carrying the Brewers right now, the cheap hitting should beat up on the Marlins though.
- Blue Jays (Belt, Varsho, Springer) … Contrarian pivot tonight, look for Toronto to reverse that 10 spot back on Texas, assuming they can outscore Marcus Semien who is the top play tonight overall.
