There are 10 games today for the Sunday MAIN slate. Thankfully they are playing the London Series game at 10:00 am so we have that going on in the background while building lineups. Something that I just cannot get past today is that 6 of the 10 series on the ‘MAIN’ slate are potential sweeps as every weekend series is really being dominated by one side. Of the other three, the White Sox are actually looking to WIN a third game in a row, which as we all learned from the movie Major League, would be called a winning streak. It has happened before. So basically, do you think that each the Giants, Pirates, Brewers, Reds, Orioles and Royals are going to sweep today? Are the Twins going to get shutout AGAIN? Am I really going to tout up the fucking Cubs again? I’m sensing that maybe I am not the problem, but it’s rather that moron Craig Counsell since when he was with Milwaukee I could never bet the Brewers right. Data doesnt lie folks! Let’s find out. WEATHER All clear Loaded with good pitching today, that’s the immediate take away as we run down the options and evaluate how they should fare today. It’s one of those scenarios where I do not think you will be able to pivot and fade all the top options because too many of them are going to do well and you’ll wind up chasing numbers that guys like Andre Pallante, KEaton Winn and DJ “Dont call me Khalid” Herz could only dream of. And yet, my instinct as I go through each guy is to find something wrong with them, so here are the ones I think have the fewest risk spots today. GRAYSON RODRIGUEZ (DK: $9500, FD: $9800) Tampa is just terrible and I wouldn’t expect what Bradish did yesterday from Grayson, but he should be able to also limit Tampa to almost no offensive production. He has handled the Lowe’s before & until Tampa makes some type of drastic coaching change I am not really scared of using pitchers against them with just no logical approach to what they are doing in each AB and as a team. GEORGE KIRBY Apologies, I had missed the Braves SP starting today and the data feed was showing Fried. Kirby is my SP2. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS My confidence level from those…...
