WEATHER No issues tonight. Jacob deGrom (DK: $9500, FD: $9800) A marquee game tonight will be the return of Jacob deGrom to Citi Field and he comes in against the Mets newest toy in Jonah Tong. The real story here though is the Rangers back in the AL Playoff race, quickly chasing on the tails of the Wild Card race while the Mets continue their free fall out of the race as one of the worst teams in the second half of the season. That, right there, is the main reason we are on deGrom today. Sandy Alcantara (DK: $6000, FD: $8500) The Tigers just went through the Yankees pitching like it was nothing – but prior to that had been kinda mediocre themselves. Sandy’s just priced way wrong here as I assume they factored in his low win % against Skubal on the other side. Not only should we take Sandy, but we should also back the Marlins ML. OTHER GUYS I LIKE TONIGHT INCLUDE … Brandon Pfaadt, JP Sears ANGELS / MARINERS Yusei Kikuchi and Luis Castillo walk into T-Mobile park on a Friday night…. End of analysis. ASTROS / BRAVES Yordan Alvarez has to either carry Houston to the playoffs or they are gonna fade fast. Sanchez seems like a nice play as well on the Houston side and Atlanta draws Jayden Murray, not a basketball player, but a RHP who will open and then they go to the pen. Nice random acts of homers spot for the BRaves, so good luck picking among Baldwin, Harris, Ozuna and Acuna. Gotta see what BLooper decides to do with the Braves lineup these days. ATHLETICS Boy I know a bad Singer start when I see one. Not sure if Tito will let him go long and the Reds bullpen has been great of late, so the long term upside in this game could be limited.
