There really isn’t a set good slate today as MLB has 3 early games and then 4 night games, with the Astros vs Mariners as an island Showdown game in between all of that. So I am going to just write about the games and let you play what you choose.
Weekend content update. I’m traveling again this weekend and will have a Friday article and hope to get Saturday and/or Sunday out as well, but they could just be short informational articles on the weekend.
Early Games:
Brady Singer, Jameson Taillon, Colin Rea, Chris Paddack, Kyle Muller and Shawn Armstrong
What a collection of junk right there. The Twins have seen a ton of Singer and have hit him for some decent power as Kepler and Buxton both have 2 HR off Singer and only Correa/Kiriloff/Castro are big strikeout guys vs Brady. The Royals are trying to get the split today and I think they will, but I doubt you’ll be saying, “Man, Singer is killing me” if you fade him.
The problem is, nobody else is a “good” play here. So take Singer and I guess try Kyle Muller because Tampa is just hot garbage.
Main Slate:
Zac Gallen, Jack Flaherty, Carlos Rodon, Reynaldo Lopez, Nick Pivetta, Trevor Williams, Patrick Sandoval and Christian Scott
Gallen is the obvious #1 here & rightfully should be the highest owned pitcher and the most secure option. But the match-up between much-maligned Jack Flaherty and Nick Pivetta is the most important game on the night cap. Both could/should be able to generate Swing & Miss stuff and be able to avoid damage on their way to a nice pitchers game stack winning build.
My preference is combine Jack and Nick and fade Gallen just because of that. But if you dont like stacking 2 SP in the same game, then Gallen over Flaherty is the pick.
Early Slate:
The Cubs vs Brewers game is the first spot to swim in early for offense. Both teams have hit the ball well the past two games and there have been a lot of outs right at the wall which have gone un-noticed. Willy Adames, Christopher Morel and Seiya Suzuki are three guys that look to be primed for some big games & Ian Happ was really locked in for most of the night last night. Hard to not just want to stack this game and build off that.
Second best option would be Kansas City (Witt, although if Vinnie is back this is a nice spot for him) and the third best option is don’t play with the fourth best option being Oakland.
Main Slate:
If the D’Backs do not hit Christian Scott then they will definitely hit the Mets bullpen some, but I doubt you’ll be seeing a massive blow up stack game from them here.
The Nationals/Braves is the obvious game to build with. I really like the over and yes, I think Atlanta is going to score more than 2 runs tonight. Harris/Ozuna/Albies.
