Twelve games today, I would bank on a TON of offense tonight. WEATHER NYM @ NYY – The Subway Series could have a delay tonight, but 1000% they will play. COL @ WSH – Yep. This is one of those classic Natioanls rain delays where they leave the Skittles Tarp on the field for 3 hours while it is NOT raining and then suddenly decide to PPD the game because they’ve collected enough Beer and bad Ben’s Chili sales on the concourse. Buyer beware here folks. Here’s the great news today folks. There is just ONE Asian born pitchers that I can write up, which is a great thing since they seem to really HATE me with a passion and no, I am not gonna use Julio Urias today. MY NUMBER ONE JUSTIN VERLANDER (DK: $9100, FD: $9600) Rain could be a concern, but they’ll get the game in & Verlander in Yankee Stadium is a show up spot even for the old man. SECONDARY OPTIONS KYLE HENDRICKS (DK: 6800, FD: $8300) Here’s the good news folks, he isn’t Asian, so I feel comfortable making him the #1 SP2 today. This is the other in city rivalry series as the Cubs visit the White Sox but and much like the NY one there is ZERO buzz here between two teams going nowhere in the second half of the season. The White Sox have faced some good strikeout arms lately, which is one reason they grade poorly over the last week and Hendricks gets a boost — but I think it should continue here and finding the cheaper pitcher is the first thing that jumped out at me today allowing for some options for those building more than one lineup with the high $ pitchers. AARON CIVALE (DK: $7200) I doubt the Royals have figured out Civale, who dominated them right before the all-star break and with his depth of pitches should keep them off balance here today again. OTHER NOTES We follow up the Pirates and Pares game last night with two Dick’s going today, Rich Hill and Blake Snell. Abbott seeing the Brewers AGAIN cannot end extremely well for him, after an under last night, this should be a game with offense tonight and Burnes gets hit enough to not use him again. FAVORITE CORES … SERPIENTES Christian Walker, Lourdes Gurriel, Emmanuel Rivera Steven…...
