There are five games on DraftKings early slate and four on FanDuel. Neither site has deGrom vs Burnes in the double header for the Brewers-Mets today because it was PPD late last night after the slates were posted. The game difference is of course a 7 inning tilt down in Tampa as DK has the Indians/Rays early game today. The other four games on this early slate include Braves at Pirates … as the Pirates go for a sweep of the Braves White Sox at Twins … It has cooled off quite a bit here Tigers at Rangers … Hey, random question. What the hell happened to Julio Teheran? Dude just up and said I’m out with a “shoulder” injury this year? Reds at Royals … Sonny vs Singer No weather concerns with good wind out in Kansas City to RF — should play well for LH hitters here and good warm weather in all other games except for obviously the Tropicana Field game and the Minnesota game. Casey Mize Mize has made his way to the tier of being considered as an SP1. Opponents are hitting just .234 off him this season and RH batters have been unable to generate any hard contact off his secondary pitches all season. The southern boy should pitch well down in Texas against the Rangers today and gets a nice boost if the roof closes. Kyle Gibson After a high scoring game last night this looks like a good lower scoring game in Texas today and one that on a short 5 game slate we can get away with a SP stack in. It comes down to Gibson vs Lynn for me on DK as the second pitcher with Mize and I expect similar games from the two of them. Gibsons home strikeout splits are significantly higher this season as well and when he gets weaker offenses he usually excels. He’s the safer choice. Other guy who probably fares well: Drew Smyly Chicago White Sox The one team I would lock in on, even in lesser hitting conditions than Monday would be the White Sox. Michael Pineda was a know cheater as he wouldn’t even try to hide the pine tar on his neck in games and he has been absolutely horrific since the crackdown on pitchers. I would expect a big game from Chicago today. Other spots…...
