Back to an 8 game main slate tonight.
WEATHER
No issues
CLAYTON KERSHAW — DK: $9900, FD: $10,800
Just his second start back from IL stint, so any concerns about the Dodgers keeping him under 80 pitches is valid, but the end line for Clayton should be around 6 IP, 4 H, 0 BB, 5 or 6 K with at most 1 ER allowed. Very basic and very efficient.
MIKE CLEVINGER — DK: $5700
Another cheap option to either pair with Gore or play with the higher $ pitching. Weather in Wrigley won’t be an issue and the Cubs aren’t smashing RHP much of late. The Swanson/Bellinger heaters are gone.
JON GRAY — DK: $6900, FD: $8600
C’Mon, the Angels aren’t an ELITE offense against RHP. They’re known to have big strikeout games and Gray’s recent form is back on track. Why is he $6900?
MacKENZIE GORE — DK: $6000, FD: $8200
One of these pitchers in DC is $8200 and the other is $6200 in the Sox/Nats game and they have it all backwards. It’s Gore who has the strikeout split advantage against the better hitters, it’s Gore who is going to get a higher whiff rate on his breaking pitch and it’s Gore who I will ride and die with at this cheap price. Unfortunately he allows at least one homer to Trevor Story, possibly two.
RANGERS
Semien, Lowe, Garcia, Smith
DODGERS
Betts, Smith, Martinez
ALWAYS BRAVES
Olson, Murphy, Acuna
You can build Atlanta stacks tonight with Clevinger, Gore and Gray as the primary pitching options. Granted, the stacks above are kinda pricey too.
