Ladies and Gentlemen. We have a glorious Friday slate tonight which includes 11 total games and excludes the three turbo games as well as the glorious late July, Friday afternoon Cubs home game in Wrigley Field. For your menu tonight there’s no games which are on the MAIN slate that are Apple TV+ games, thank the lord. Sadly that Cubs game is on AppleTV for some unknown reason. But the menu does include the Royals and Yankees, one of these teams has won a World Series in the past decade and the other traded away Jay Buhner, who hit 30 HR and 100 RBI and had a rocket for an arm – for KEN PHELPS! It’s Asian Pitcher night again, Kodai Senga is in Boston, Shohei Ohtani is at home vs the Pirates and lord have mercy, Yusei Kikuchi is back in Seattle against his former team in what could feel like a home game for the Blue Jays as most of that area roots for them over the Mariners. The real question here though is will anyone actually stake claim to Kikuchi and root for him? We can only hope the Mariners play BOTH Tom Murphy and Cal Raleigh tonight back to back in the lineup for the Catcher(s) vs former Pitcher narrative.

I don’t care if he plays Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann tonight, he’s not gonna get a recommendation from me today. Framber though? Against Oakland? Yeah, I’ll go here. He’s had a ton of starts versus them in his career, many have been dominant and tonight on a late night in the Coliseum I would be shocked if he didn’t roll out a 7 inning 1 hit performance. JOE RYAN (DK: $10.6k, FD: $10k) Mid range SP options tonight on both DraftKings and FanDuel are bad, really bad. It is a land of which 60% of them…...
