HUGE Saturday slate, which in the middle of April might appear weird but then you remember everyone is wearing #42 today for Jackie Robinson Day. Both FanDuel and DraftKings are also in sync, as we have a 12 game site synchronicity slate locking at 1PM EST everywhere with a friendly and quiet 3 game night tilt slate for those who are wanting the late Saturday night MLB DFS fix. WEATHER Some rain here on this Saturday afternoon that needs to be monitored PIT at STL – Heavy rain potential. Divisional series too so we have an easy excuse to PPD and make it up later. These spots also have what I call weather ‘noise’ but in the end they will play and have zero DFS impact. CLE at WSH – Rain should be very light and pass through. Game will play. ATL at KC – Higher rain potential here, but KC likely waits it out and finds a way to get this one in. Good chance they start in a delay The only game with a little wind impact is in Cincinnati, which is already a little league field to begin with, winds are up to 10 MPH out to left field. ANTHONY DeSCLAFANI DK: $8,900, FD: $9,900 I don’t see the Tigers winning two in a row, do you? The Italian is back and got up to 88 pitches in his second start of the season on the 9th vs Kansas City. An extra days rest should bode well and he has yet to walk anyone on the season, which also bodes well vs the Tigers because we know they love to swing too, so I really think we’re looking at a 7 inning performance without any or much damage from Tony. BRYCE EDLER DK: $7,700, FD: $9,700 Time and time again I have seen the Royals as an organization struggle with pitchers that they do not have much data on. Their advanced scouting strategy seems to be so heavily weighted upon the opposing pitcher actually having lots of big league experience that they have seen in person. So this is a spot where we’re gonna see potential for a delayed start and then the Royals come out and just do nothing off Edler. Other pitching notes …. Tyler Mahle … I do think Mahle is gonna be just fine today, expect this to be a lower…...
