Six games on DraftKings, Seven on FanDuel since they have the Mets/Red Sox game.
If you did not read the ‘Afternoon’ article, I mentioned in that one how I like the NYM/BOS game for offense and Rafael Devers was technically the afternoon Chairman, so he technically is a Chairman for FanDuel readers in this article too.
WEATHER
All clear
MY NUMBER ONE
Josiah Gray (DK: $6900, FD: $8600)
I Really like Gray and this game in general for pitching. Gray continues to have success vs LHB more than RHB and with the Giants better hitting coming from the LH side today it could favor Jo Gray as the best Gray pitcher going today.
BEST SP2 CANDIDATES
Cristian Javier (DK: $9000, FD: $8800)
Should be over his little bad stretch that he had and getting Oakland at night is a high confidence boost scenario here too.
Reid Detmers (DK: $7500, FD: $9000)
Pittsburgh hit Ohtani as I expected, but is not as much of a threat tonight against Detmers, which just feels weird to type, but it’s how it is.
AVOIDING
Sonny Gray, Zack Wheeler, Dylan Cease …
I think this is a downgrade strikeout spot for all three.
FAVORITE CORES …
This is a good spread it out kinda night. I doubt you see any single team score more than 7 runs total, which is still a good number, but likely spread out from a production standpoint. More important to find that Kyle Tucker type game than anything else.
BRAVES
Ozuna, Murphy
BREWERS
Yelich, Adames
These two or bust for Milwaukee.
PHILLIES
Schwarber, Bohm, Marsh
They had a big late inning last night and tonight could have more success early against Bibee and I doubt anyone uses them. We nailed the Stott homer on Friday, lets see if the second leg of the Lefties in Cleveland trifecta hits today with Schwarber. I personally like Bohm too in the middle of 3 lefties at the bottom of the order. Phillies value/bottom of lineup wrapping around to Schwarber is the play.
CATCHER
- Sean Murphy … Hefty price here, but the SP pricing is very soft today, so you aren’t loading up salary for pitching and thus you can spend here comfortably. I literally do not like any other catchers. So if he sits, plug in a blind squirrell (or Travis d’Arnaud).
FIRST BASE
- Matt Olson … Olson vs Houser should result in a double or a ball landing in Lake Superior…. Or is it Lake Michigan? Idk… One of those things.
- Josh Naylor
SECOND BASE
I could care less who you pick at 2B today, but you’ll have more success finding your own intuition here.
- Ozzie Albies
- Andres Gimenez
- Close Eyes And Guess….
THIRD BASE
- Alec Bohm
- Alex Bregman
- Jake Burger
SHORTSTOP
- Willy Adames
- Amed Rosario
- Zach Neto
OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore
- Kyle Schwarber
- Christian Yelich
- Marcell Ozuna
- Eloy Jimenez
- Kyle Schwarber – OF – Philadelphia Phillies – Chairman of The Dongers Club
- Christian Yelich – OF – Brewers
- Marcell Ozuna – OF – Braves
- Sean Murphy – C – Braves
- Josh Naylor – 1B – Guardians
- Jake Burger – 3B – White Sox
