WEATHER All games play. Roof Closed in Arizona. Joe Ryan (DK: $9000 – FD: $9800) Ryans’ been extremely good of late since a little injury hiccup & with no Muni this really makes it a smoother spot for him. Mostly just has to worry about Benitendi tonight. I think we can easily get another 7 inning start with high strikeout upside to offset one inning where the Sox put up a 2 spot. Chase Burns (DK: $10,200 – FD: $11.1k) Must be nice to start your week off on a Monday by facing the worst team in the history of Baseball. Maybe he can pitch every other inning with one shoe on to make things a little more competitive. Or maybe the Royals get angry and start a brawl. Unfortunately, Cags is too busy as a weekend only guy to punch anyone and Vinnie would just try to have someone else do the fighting for him. Sorry pathetic losers…. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS Nobody else. Those are the two. deGrom will be alright and I think Soriano will do enough vs the Rockies – but he is the chalky one I would fade in favor of Burns/Ryan. REDS With EDLC going on the IL, the Reds are calling up Edwin Arroyo ($2,000 on DraftKings – SS). He is one of their better prospects who has been having a nice little season and the Royals advanced scouting is so bad they probably let this kid go bananas on them tonight. In fact, I am not sure what the Royals can do well right now. It’s like in Apollo 13 when Gene (Ed Harris – one of his better career roles) asks “what do we have on the ship that works….” and the response is … “I’ll get back to you”… Ed Harris actually had a very underrated stretch of movies. One could make a claim that we should compare Ed Harris’ run against Tommy Lee Jones. They were always premiere guys in good movies, but not often “The Guy”. The Firm: (The best movie overall of this group) – Tom Cruise, Gene Hackman, Wilford Brimley … I mean, he’s way down the list. The Truman Show: Second to Jim Carey The Rock: Sean Connery, Nick Cage Apollo 13: Tom Hanks and the very underrated Gary Sinise Radio: Cuba Gooding Junior A Beautiful Mind: Great movie.
