We have a split slate today with a heavy set on the afternoon window and not too much of a difference between FD and DK. FanDuel has separated out the 1PM window games (Brewers/Mets, Tigers/White Sox) on to their own Very Early slate, while DraftKings went ahead and included them on their big Early slate which all total is nine games. There will be no night slate article tonight – but a few notes at the end of this article covering thoughts on that one. I found I did MUCH worse when I did two slates on the same day the last 2-3 years. WEATHER I see no PPD risks today but a few windy spots, most notably in Cincinnati which is already a softball field to begin with.0 This is a fantastic set of names going today, but it’s a shame that we get them all together on their season debuts.

Grayson is going to become that elite consistent pitcher this season now that Burnes is there as well to mentor him and this Angels lineup, while they have Trout, they have my guy Nolan Ryan Schanuel, they’ve also got Aaron Hicks, Brandon Drury, Miguel Sano and a lot of strikeouts. Take GrayRod and enjoy the 5-6 IP with 6-8 strikeouts and a Win. SETH LUGO (DK: $8300, FD: $8500) … I would not scream loudly if you wanted to use Joe Ryan for $1k more on the other side in this game, but we’ll trust the new Royal who is good vs RHH, doesn’t get blown up much and should see 6 righties today — which is the good part of the Twins lineup at the moment.
