Happy Sunday, we have the regular 1PM main slate featuring 10 games, followed up with a four game afternoon slate and then the Rangers/Astros in what should be a very boring Sunday Night Showdown game that’s probably over in 30 minutes. I’ll include some quick Afternoon slate thoughts in the bottom of this article for a full day of MLB action for everyone. WEATHER Building a new ‘Weather’ page on the Lineups page that we have here. It should be functional this week for you to see, but as always I’ll keep doing a breakdown on the weather and just highlighting things that could impact play and whether a game should be ignored. Today we have two games which carry some bad weather in them that have PPD risk, but neither of them are divisional games. Orioles at White Sox – Severe storms, they either try to get through it or write it off as needing to fly the Orioles back for a make up game later in the season. The Orioles are off on Monday but the White Sox are home vs the Phillies, so they can’t just push it out a day. Giants at Tigers – Game will play. Risk here is when/if the rain comes and causes an in game delay. Phillies at Reds – This one will play but could have a delay to let the field dry out. But it plays. Quick note on the Reds. They seem to always have a reputation for waiting games out and when it rains in Cincinnati it tends to lead to better offense after storms. As always, follow this rule of thumb on weather if you are concerned and don’t sit there asking questions 30 mins before the slate. — If the game starts in a delay, fade it. — If the game starts on time, play it. There are 180+ slates each season, don’t let one weather game ruin your experience when you could build a lineup that is what you want/need with other options. We have 8 other games besides these two today people. I mean, you could be stacking Giants/Tigers without ANY concern for weather! For the record, I’m ignoring Orioles/White Sox. On with the show. This slate is very HEAVY on the pitching front, which means you can be creative with who you use because there are multiple paths to get there. SANDY ALCANTARA…...
