We keep moving along and have an unusual slate tonight with games not locking until 8 PM EST. This is mostly due to the MLB schedule just not having games at 7PM as many of those games are starting at 6PM where teams had locked into local TV deals with earlier games for the benefit of fans. Quite honestly, it’s stupid IMO because on a Friday night why do you need the 6PM game? But anyways, that’s what the trend is now and I wish we had a HUGE 15 game slate but we only have 9 games. We also do not have the Yankee-Oriole game tonight because it’s part of a DH and even though you’ll see those players listed on DraftKings they are not going to accrue points. FanDuel has excluded this game already so no issues there. It’s the same nine game slate. And oh my god. It’s happening! Francisco Lindor is finally back in the lead off spot tonight Now, lets check in on the Minnesota weather for tonight Well that’s just grand now isn’t it… WEATHER Colder (September Baseball!) conditions than we have seen as expected…. Indians at Twins – Cold and Rainy, could PPD. Minnesota has a bad history of not knowing if they want to play or not. Do a check around 7:30 PM but I would be open to fading this spot tonight if there’s still risk that close. I don’t think you’ll need players from it if it plays even though there’s some good spots. Weather is good enough to have both roofs open in Texas and Arizona I said it earlier this week and I want to highlight this again. Teams who are likely going to the playoffs are not going to take any risks with pitchers. Buehler and Paddack both this week have been pulled early at the slightest sign of injury and we saw Buehler go back on the IL and might see that with Paddack now too. Shane Bieber If the rain stays away Bieber is the play tonight over Giolito. Kepler is still out and wind blowing in + ugly hitting conditions makes this a spot we can trust paying up for Bieber tonight. His FD price of $11.6 with a fairly moderate Coors game is not the right play but when locking in two pitchers tonight, we’ll need a stud and it’s…...
