I am definitely feeling like I will wind up contrarian today. It’s just a short six game Monday slate with four divisional matchups and two interleague series. A fun one, but one not to get too caught up in chalk/leverage decisions. Play your gut. WEATHER All clear. Three dome games and chilly weather in two spots with some wind boost out to RF in Dodger Stadium. RYAN WEATHERS (DK: $8300) I can’t justify writing anything negative on him today. Not that hot in Baltimore, neither are they. He should tame Adley/Gunnar who helps him get through the 1st and 4th/5th innings easily. Clean spot today. NATHAN EOVALDI (DK: $8500) I have Soroka right behind Eovaldi today. The only fear here is that his price is inflated because he always pitches well vs the Yankees and just had two good starts versus them. Things aren’t great for either of these teams right now though, and so when given the choice you take the flame thrower upside over Soroka any day. GEORGE KIRBY (DK: $8700) This is either lock in Ryan Weather chalk as the top SP vs Baltimore or try to sneak by with Kirby in Houston. Seattle pitchers still take a hit on the road & he should here as well, so he’s hard to justify above #3. On just a short slate I expect the ownership without question to slide on the Yankees, some Dodgers and Mariners. TAMPA BAY RAYS Ambush spot on Gausman, which is how I would play the entire slate tonight. Rays really hit well here in Toronto & can wait out Gausman deep in counts. Jonathan Aranda is a must own as he rakes in Toronto and on Jays pitching in general & all his homers are basically on pitches dropping down and in on his swing path. Gausman’s cutter isn’t a problem for him. Chandler Simpson Jonathan Aranda Yandy Diaz (Play at 3B in the stack, I think this is your slate winner combo him and Aranda) Junior Caminero DODGERS Trevor McDonald attacks the zone way too much for me to think he gets by cleanly once again. Mookie Betts: Oh, hey, he’s back Kyle Tucker – About to go on an insane tear, get on board now this week.
