Quiet Monday evening with FanDuel opting to exclude the Reds-Indians make up game which starts at 6:10 PM and then there are just four more games which begin at 8:05 PM EST. In these games we have some Heavy Rain in Wrigleyville between the Brewers and Cubs to monitor, which could drop it down to a 3 game slate on FD and a 4 game slate on DK.
So that is why the article is going to be very brief.
There are actually quite a few good pitching options today which I think could keep ownership spread out and doesn’t bring ownership theory that much even with a short slate. Obviously Freddy Peralta has some rain concerns which could impact him, but the Cubs lineup is very bad, so I definitely like him if the game is clear of weather issues.
JOE MUSGROVE
He will be at home against the Marlins, a scenario in which it would be shocking to see him not top 20 fantasy points today on DK.
LUIS CASTILLO
I would go with Castillo over Taillon. Both games have decent hitting weather but the game in Kansas City is just that much stronger for hitting and the way Castillo is rolling right now, he is the better play to spend up for at $10k.
Best value: Carlos Hernandez ($6,200)
REDS
India, Castellanos, Moustakas
Good weather in Cleveland and the Reds/Indians typically have higher scoring games but the entire load of scoring should come from the Reds.
ROYALS
Santana, Perez, O’Hearn
My sleeper team is KC, and mostly because it’s just a five game slate and KC looks well vs Taillon tonight. Gotta have Santana/Perez if you stack Royals but Ryan O’Hearn really stands out as a nice value play vs Taillon.
