WEATHER DET @ BAL – If they wait they can get the game in eventually and this is possibly our first true test of teams realizing they can get games in that start very late because of the faster pace of play. If they wait until 10pm to start they could still be done by midnight, so I think they play. Chase Filed Roof = Open Miller Park Roof = TBD Day of week in Anaheim = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvvDJJJjJW0 I think we can live in the mid range on pitching tonight. Framber Valdez will be good vs Atlanta, but at 10k he won’t be dominant to worry about fading. Wade Miley isn’t delivering a second straight ridiculous start and the Cardinals know Luis Castillo all way too well to trust him. Joe Musgrove makes his debut for the Padres tonight in Arizona vs Merrill Kelly in Chase Field with the roof open, big time fade. KYLE GIBSON I said we would live in the mid-range and the poster child for mid-range is Kyle Gibson. Take a risk tonight if they start in a delay with Gibson who once they do start will be able to get through the Tigers lineup with lots of ground balls and a low pitch count giving him depth. ANDREW HEANEY Oakland in Texas seems to always bring them a boost, but their 35% DCPA strikeout rate today projected vs Heaney is the boost that helps in DFS. Heaney has shown the ability to have huge K games — especially at home. GARRETT WHITLOCK A few sleeper options today for me are Whitlock, Mikolas and even Fujinami. Out of these options it’s Whitlock who I would roll the dice with This is mostly a one off or 2-2-2 type slate. A lot of pitchers going will get ‘hit’ enough to not trust them to dominate, but there isn’t that full 5 man stack that’s gonna go nuts today, so spread it out among these spots. ANGELS Mike Trout, Taylor Ward, Gio Urshela Trout will be back in the lineup tonight and Greinke does not pitch well anymore on the road. He should go no more than 5 at best and the Royals pen will give up a few runs as well tonight. ROYALS Bobby Witt Jr, Salvador Perez, Edward Olivares, Matt Duffy Much easier time tonight vs Tyler Anderson than Shohei last night. No kidding, right? Good…...
