SLATE INTRODUCTION Another low scoring night last night across Baseball. The pitchers didn’t start clean but they got there and it was one of those nights where a couple guys carried the field. Normally we would be looking at a 14 or 15 game slate today. Instead it’s a day of 17 MLB games today so if you are a gambling degen on the games, you’ll love that. But for DFS purposes, it’s only 10 games as the sites want these 7:10 lock times for the main slate. Good news is, both DK and FD are 10 games each so the break down can be straight forward.

We continue to see inter-league games being the ones that are the most beneficial for offense.

Castillo had a longer than normal layoff before his day game start at Kansas City last week but will be on regular rest today in an environment that’s controlled and oh yeah — not an interleague game. And thankfully for those who have been following me, you know it’s not a Castillo Friday which means we won’t take it in the groin (no GIF needed) Chris Paddack There are three guys today who all fall into that interleague theme but two of them are at home and against bad teams.
