We had a decent start yesterday, going 3-1 on the game predictions and the Diamondbacks came through fairly well offensively. WEATHER After being warmer yesterday in Minnesota, it’s down into the mid 60’s today and another mid-afternoon start time so I expect the ball to be a little dead there. On the slip side, warmer up in Philly. I do appreciate that DraftKings has made the pricing a little more flat here which does’t auto-force everyone into a single play or two. Nathan Eovaldi (DK: $7800, FD: $8400) … The only question is how long does Eovaldi go. He hasn’t thrown over 86 pitches in September and the Rangers could be short on the leash here if they have a nice lead. Zac Gallen (DK: $9200, FD: $10,200) … I see Freddy Peralta coming out hot for Milwaukee with a fast start and then Arizona gets to him mid game. Gallen is more likely to get into a rhythm mid game and with Arizona in a series winning spot and having their ace on the mound they should let him go as long as humanly possible tonight. Zach Eflin (DK: $8800, FD: $9100) … Fine as a game stack option with Eovaldi, but the Texas lineup is definitely a dangerous one. DECENT BUT NOT PERFECT Aaron Nola (DK: $8000, FD: $8700) … Nola might give up 2 HR tonight (Soler is one, Sanchez another), but he also should get through 7 innings, have 6-7 strikeouts and is likely going to win. If you want to fade one of these two, it should be Nola, not Eovaldi, and it should be with a mini Marlins stack. I don’t see a TON of stack offense type spots tonight, which opens the door for us to get a little contrarian seeking some one off homers if we can get lucky there. I didn’t write up either Berrios or Gray in the TOR/MIN game, but I don’t anticipate a TON of offense output there. It’s just that neither pitcher is going to give you the full line score to warrant using. Texas/Tampa is a game I expect to be relatively tame as well. Arizona/Milwaukee won’t be quite what it was last night, but the Diamondbacks lineup is so potent and fits that park so well that we have to consider them as a stack. This leads us all down to…...
