Sorry in advance, but tonight’s slate is gonna feel a lot like this … WEATHER No issues. The White Sox, Athletics and Marlins are still playing Baseball and all on this slate against decent pitching. So, yeah, this is where we are starting it off tonight, just like last night. THE CORE 3 JOE RYAN (DK: $10.4k, FD: $10.6k) Lopez last night somehow lost his velocity and lost his way, it was going so well until it wasn’t and then he was pulled early. Not expecting that to repeat itself tonight, so we go back here as I said I would until it fails twice in a row. CLARKE SCHMIDT (DK: $8900, FD: $8900) Schmidt’s pitching very well. Oakland, while being pesky, is still too hard to pass up here as an easy target. Lawrence Butler is a good value for Oakland, he’s been able to have some power at times this year and is a great OF salary relief, but outside of that, I don’t see Schmidt giving up a ton of damage. REYNALDO LOPEZ (DK: $9200, FD: $10.4k) Wouldn’t go Lopez on FD over Ryan, but he’s equal to Schmidt or could be used as a Ryan pivot on DK. VALUE ARM I DONT HATE TONIGHT SPENCER ARRIGHETTI (DK: $6500) Conditions are more favorable for the pitchers tonight in Wrigleyville and this is just a punt/value without having to go Jameson Taillon. He won’t finish ahead of half the field, but there’s a good chance the majority of the field will not go above 22 DK FPTS today. PADRES/ROCKIES (Cronenworth, Bogaerts, Kim // McMahon, Blackmon, Doyle) Sorry, but this is more about the pitching than the elements out in Coors. Padres are also too cheap ROYALS (Garcia, Witt, Pasquantino) Time for Kansas City to get into that bad portion of the Toronto Bullpen tonight. BRAVES (Olson, Harris, Duvall) The Marlins are returning Sixto Sanchez back to the big league mound tonight, his first start in four years and he has been used out of the bullpen for 7 games and 7.1 IP this season. I can’t see him going long and I can’t see him not giving up 1 HR. The bonus here is the Marlins bullpen for probably 5+ innings. CATCHER Luis Campusano Salvador Perez Any punt not named Martin Maldanado will do FIRST BASE Love all these guys here tonight. Might…...
