SLATE NOTES Both FanDuel and DraftKings have included all 12 games today, which is pretty fricken awesome that we are three slates into the season and have had 100% site synchronicity thus far. I am not sure if FanDuel is going to recognize that there is an evening slate later tonight as well but let’s not confuse them because for once they did a full Saturday afternoon slate instead of splitting it up into 5 slates. WEATHER Lots of wind today and some morning showers but most of them will be out of the key spots. The one rain game which I am crossing off for various reasons is the Giants vs Yankees. I don’t like either offense enough even with wind blowing out and I don’t trust either pitcher to go deep enough on this slate either. The following games have some strong wind(s) Braves at Nationals – 20+ mph gusting all over the place, also very high Dew Point here and it feels kinda muggy. I think we see some balls get out of the park here. Jays at Cardinals – 20+ mph winds out to RF but not as high temps/dew point Brewers at Cubs – 20+ mph winds IN/Cross Orioles at Red Sox – High humidity & winds 10 mph out in Fenway Pirates at Reds – 19 mph winds out to LF. Big boost for hitters in a tiny park. Roof TBD in Houston, not extremely hot Roof TBD in Miami, weather is nice here PATRICK SANDOVAL Sando-goat was in the WBC and pitched a gem in his final start there. Historically his troubles can come with power hitters against him, which Oakland really is not and being a LHP I think he can do well at holding runners on to keep them from running. The one big power bat to fear is Jesus Aguilar, but it’s Saturday so we’re good there, right? JUSTIN STEELE The big battle here is who wins between the winds blowing in and the Brewers trying to swing and miss. Not even sure these weak guys can get the bat through the zone to make contact in that wind. Pick on the Brewers, this park plays for unders early in the season and especially with the wind blowing in like it is. Other SP Notes I am not listing a third SP today on this slate because this early…...
