WEATHER ARZ at CIN: This could be ugly, but a window will open up for them to try and play. GEORGE KIRBY (DK: $9000, FD: $9500) … This is your game for pitchers, one you could conceivably just game stack and hope for another good Paddack performance. I don’t love Paddack most nights, so against the better arm I will take, said better arm. AARON CIVALE (DK: $8800, FD: $8500) … So, he isn’t pitching very well of late. Big deal. The re-match start vs the White Sox will go his favor this time and Civale gets back on track with a 5+ IP and 5+ strikeout with limited damage performance. Seriously, Nicky Lopez is not going to be the man to kill him tonight and neither will Thomas Pham or Gavin Sheets. Civale isn’t gonna go off, but he won’t struggle again. JORDAN HICKS (DK: $6800) … This is DK only. Swings and misses are critical in Coors and the gas that Hicks has should get him enough of that to produce a good enough sore for 6.8k. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS Chris Sale and Nick Pivetta will have identical stat lines tonight. Neither will finish the 5th. Both will have 4-6 strikeouts and both will give up 4 ER. RED SOX vs BRAVES Connor Wong, Tyler O’Neill, Garrett Cooper Austin Riley, Matt Olson, Ozzie Albies Start here. We have one of the best narratives in the Dongers Club with Chris Sale facing a recent former catcher teammate and also a lineup that should wake up in a big way after a long stretch without many homers. Meanwhile, Atlanta vs Nick Pivetta? Hey, welcome to the fucking season Matt Olson and Austin Riley. Nice of you fellas to join us… ORIOLES vs NATIONALS Ryan Mountcastle, Anthony Santander Baltimore is going to take Mitchell Parker down to the Anacostia River tonight and that’s not a good thing for him. Happy Mountcastle/Santander back to back first inning jacks.
