Most of the games today are in the 4PM window which features a Nine (Minus the PPD games) game slate of games for FD and DK.  There is a 7PM Saturday night slate and yes I will most likely do a quick write-up on that one. WEATHER Guardians at Mets – Already PPD Tigers at Nationals – LOL.  Nats and rain delays.  Have fun. Cubs at Phillies – Rain arriving late, I think they’ll cruise along just fine.   TOP ARM Aaron Nola (DK: $9200, FD: $9200) … Looked at the slate late last night to see who was pitching and immediately did this type of reaction while sitting in my chair watching the Knights/Stars NHL game. Except I don’t smoke… But anyways, the point here is I was all on Nola for this game.  The Cubs are gonna look like a hot team coming in here and that’s all fine and good but Nola is going to get his K rates WAY up in this game.  To both LH and RH he is below 20% on the season, but all the Cubs excepet for Hoener are 25%+ vs his pitch type mix and overall they are hitting LH better than RHP of late.  Gimme the first real Nola gem game of 2023 & he is coming off an extra days rest too.   SP2 OPTIONS Mitch Keller (DK: $9300, FD:  Play Nola) … You all keep waiting for the Keller shoe to fall off game, and yeah he could have that one rough inning like Gallen did in this series last night but really nothing we have seen from Keller should suggest he is not having the ‘Dylan Cease’ breakout this season.  Lefties are whiffing 32% and only hitting .200 against him, the walks are way down and the confidence is way up.   Guys I considered Jon Gray … He is the best pivot, the Rockies will strikeout plenty to keep him in the mix Braxon Garrett / Logan Webb … If you want these two I would pair them together and play for a low scoring 2-1 type game.  Garrett can’t go deep enough to win the slate and Webb wont beat Nola IMO. Brandon Pfaadt … We’re just getting a good discount here, but 3 bats (McCutchen, Reynolds and Suwinski) are likely give him trouble, so even at his cheap price I don’t know that it’s…...
