FanDuel has moved into NFL season.  And fuck them for their stupid social media posts bashing the Saints.   WEATHER Tigers at Royals:  Rain in this one, but it’s a scenario they could decide to go ahead and get the game in.  The Royals really need it though and with Skubal going, maybe the grounds crew finds a way to fuck things up on the field and … oh – will you look at that, we gotta reschedule.  Sorry, Tigers.  Have a nice flight   HUNTER BROWN (DK: $10,800, FD: $10,800) A hot start, then a brick wall, and now back to close out the season strong.  Brown’s getting  acold Trout, cold Adell, cold Ward and just doesn’t have much competition if Skubal gets rained out as the top pitcher going today. LUCAS GIOLITO (DK: $9000, FD: $9200) I would expect Giolito to actually be 20%+ owned even with Woodruff and Ryan in the same price range.  The match-up is just that much cleaner vs the Pirates and not worth ignoring. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS Mitch Keller will pitch well vs Boston. Any lefty against the Nationals right now is a good play.  Ian Seymour though isnt likely to throw more than 75 pitches, so his $6800 price isn’t that great of a salary relief, but the Nats are likely going to strikeout 6 times in the 5 innings he pitches if he can be efficient.   MARINERS Crawford, Raleigh METS Nimmo, Lindor, Alonso   CATCHER Cal Raleigh Ryan Jeffers Freddy Fermin   FIRST BASE Paul Goldschmidt Pete Alonso Nathaniel Lowe   SECOND BASE I feel like everyone here had a big Saturday, so expect some dudes or the guys who didnt to wake up.  That said, Love all three here. Brice Turang Jose Altuve Brandon Lowe … Exception to the rule as Mr. Sunday is near Mr. Home and a big fan of the Lord   THIRD BASE Jose Ramirez Manny Machado Eugenio Suarez   SHORTSTOP Colson Montgomery JP Crawford Francisco Lindor   OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore Giancarlo Stanton Christian Yelich Yordan Alvarez Matt Wallner   OUTFIELD – Tier II Brandon Nimmo Aaron Judge Daulton Varsho Dominic Canzone   Brice Turang – 2B – Milwaukee Brewers – Chairman of The Dongers Club Giancarlo Stanton – OF – Yankees Yordan Alvarez – OF – Astros Manny Machado – 3B – Padres JP Crawford – SS – Mariners Pete Alonso – 1B -…...
