WEATHER No issues The #1 pitcher today for the general public will be Nick Lodol – facing the Phillies for the 2nd time in one week. Five games, pitcher in a great hitters park against a good HR team he just saw? Pass. The second upside arm is Joe Ryan. And that will be a No Ryan in small Yankee Stadium and a lineup that’s doing okay hitting wise right now. So, who is my #1 SP tonight? Nobody. I am fine with any of these 3 on FD and expect them all to be in the same range on both sites. Chris Bassitt DK: $8200, FD: $7300 Our guy a season ago when he was in Citi Field for lots of home games, but now in Toronto this could be an up and down campaign. Detroit’s not good though, so their .213 avg over the last 10 days and 26% strikeout rate are enough to have me comfortable with the Hound dog today — plus Kevin Kiermaier can hopefully climb the wall and rob any homers he allows. Nick Martinez DK: $7400, FD: $8000 I know Martinez is not great, but anytime he is at home and in the mid 7k range on DraftKings he should be alright for you. The added bonus that Milwaukee is a big strikeout boost for him and cooler temps in San Diego makes me on Nicky Mart for a 5+ IP, 6 K game — but a no decision is a strong possibility here. Jhony Brito DK: $7700, FD: $7100 The Twins almost never beat the Yankees, right? Doesn’t matter who it is they just seem to have a mental block in that stadium. Warm weather in New York and a young SP here is a ton of risk, but for now Brito is getting a ton of whiffs and the Twins are still using Miranda, Solano and Gordon as key hitters in their lineup. Not great Bob… This is a short slate, so we apply the short slate theory in regards to hitting around a single game-stack, of which there are two really good ones today. Pirates vs Cardinals KeBryan Hayes, Andrew McCutchen, Willson Contreras, Tyler O’Neill We welcome Vinnie Velasquez and Jordan Montgomery to the tradition where the Pirates and Cardinals games go over their total well over 60% of the time each season. Pittsburgh should roll out 8 righties tonight,…...
