Not the optimal configuration for a Friday night as two teams aren’t playing and DraftKings whiffed on making this a big MAIN slate tonight.  FanDuel got it right with the 6:40 games on the MAIN slate, but DK is just 8 games.   WEATHER All clear on the DK main slate of games.  Yankees/Tigers on FanDuel could see rain delay.   Could tonight be a record breaking night where I use not one but two guys named Spencer?  Let’s just throw in a little Spencer Steer too while we are at it — oh wait, that’s Turbo slate.  Any ways you have Schwellenbach and Arrighetti that are both going to be popular options today on DK. Spencer Arrigheti (DK: $8500, FD: $9500) Corbin Burnes (DK: $9700, FD: $10k) Spencer Schwellenbach (DK: $9800, FD: $9700) Gavin Williams (DK: $6600)   BRAVES Michael Harris II, Matt Olson lead the way for a couple lefties I like from the Braves.  Harris SHOULD get locked back into that lead off spot & dont sleep on Ramon Laureano if he gets the start — he hits well here. Harris & Olson PADRES One of the best line drive hitting teams getting Quantrill in Coors.  Should turn into a night with lots of innings that have crooked numbers. Merrill, Cronenworth & Bogaerts METS Roddery Munoz last 4 starts:  15 ER, 6 HR and that includes one good start vs Tampa.  He’s just so bad. Nimmo, Alonso, Alvarez, Winker   CATCHER Francisco Alvarez Sean Murphy David Fry   FIRST BASE Matt Olson Pete Alonso Jake Cronenworth   SECOND BASE Jose Altuve Xander Bogaerts Kyle Farmer   THIRD BASE Royce Lewis Jake Burger Ryan McMahon   SHORTSTOP Mookie Betts Orlando Arcia Bryan Rocchio   OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore Michael Harris II Jackson Merrill Anthony Santander Adolis Garcia   OUTFIELD – Tier II David Peralta Will Brennan Jesse Winker / Brandon Nimmo … If the Mets go off they’ll do something. Ramon Laureano   Matt Olson – 1B – Atlanta Braves – Chairman of The Dongers Club Mookie Betts – SS – Dodgers Pete Alonso – 1B – Mets Anthony Santander – OF – Orioles Jackson Merrill – OF – Padres   TOP BETS Cleveland Guardians ML (-118) Dodgers/Cardinals OVER 9.5… Keep reading — and get the full war room.
