SLATE NOTES I am shocked, we keep the streak alive as both DK and FD have the same 9 game main slate today. WEATHER My goal here is to tell you the spots that you might need to monitor. I want to remind you once again that my belief is that more games will wind up playing than those which won’t and if a game has too much rain risk I won’t bother with a pitcher in the write-up on it. If a game starts in a delay, I fade it. If a game starts on time, I play it. So do not sweat the weather at 4pm in the afternoon when a game locks at 7:30pm and remember that the DFS sites will unlock a game which is PPD that never starts on time. Too many people try to overthink weather and there are 180 days of MLB DFS, so why the hell are you worried about solving the 3 nights out of those 180 slates when there might be a slight ‘edge’ on weather. Just move on and manage your time better. As for today… All games play. Wind blowing out in Chicago — Up to 20mph out to LF Warm in Washington DC Cristian Javier (DK: $8,100, FD: $10,000) The Tigers had their little fun in Houston last night, as they annually seem to do. Javier’s got a 30% DCPA strikeout matchup vs their projected lineup, the highest on the slate and also carries minimal risk potential. Jacob deGrom (DK: $9,500, FD: $9,900) It is possible that with Grayson Rodriguez being on the others side at min price (more on that below) that deGrom is not 80% owned. Throw in that the Orioles are legit really damn good and deGrom wasn’t really damn good in his first start and I would guess he is in the 20% range. Great time to buy into deGrom, who will get more comfortable as time goes on pitching in Texas and should rack up the K’s today. Shane McClanahan (DK: $8,800) No reason for me to be hard headed. Shane is without a doubt a good play against the Nationals even on a warm Wednesday afternoon in April. They’re bad and despite hitting Fleming last night and getting to see a LHP two days in a row they should not be avoided as a target to pick on given that…...
