I know we need to just get over it, but the continuing two slate nights when the games all start close to each other is really downgrading MLB DFS experience. Tonight, a Tuesday, in fucking May, we have just 8 games on the MAIN slate because we can’t have the five 6:40 PM games included as well. This is a really bad experience in my mind, but alas, we move on. WEATHER Just a tornado watch in Chicago. Nothing to see here Just two guys I trust enough to build around today. Yoshi is not a bad pivot here either if you are worried about weather in Wrigley, but Imanaga is on fire and should mow down the Padres with a ton of ground ball outs. SHOTA IMANAGA (DK: $10,300, FD: $10,600) … Weather a big concern but once it starts I trust it to play SETH LUGO (DK: $7200, FD: $9700) … The run support will be good and Lugo is Mr get me by. If he is 7200, we take a bite OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS Kutter Crawford and Yoshi are the pivots off Shota I know Verlander has had some big games in Yankee Stadium – but this is a new time and Juan Soto is going to light him up tonight. We could see 3 HR from the Yankees in total off JV today. A good contrarian spot IMO. GIANTS Jung Hoo Lee, LaMonte Wade Jr, Jorge Soler, Michael Conforto Nobody transitions from one hitters park to another like a team from San Francisco, right? But in this case, they go from facing a good pitching staff to the Rockies which is no doubt a chalky spot with the below proper pricing on the Giants lineup ROYALS Maikel Garcia, Bobby Witt Jr, Michael Massey, Vinnie Pasquantino Witt’s gonna jack one over the center fielders head tonight. Yes, it will be a sinker. Vinnie is struggling to get that huge hit, but Garcia/Witt being stacked without him feels silly. YANKEES Juan Soto, Alex Verdugo Contrarian build today would be Yankees/Astros going to the moon. CATCHER Salvador Perez Mitch Garver Reese McGuire FIRST BASE LaMonte Wade Jr. Vinnie Pasquantino Michael Busch SECOND BASE Jeff McNeil Edouard Julien Michael Massey THIRD BASE Rafael Devers Alex Bregman Austin Riley SHORTSTOP Bobby Witt Jr. Francisco Lindor Mookie Betts OUTFIELD – Mt.
