WEATHER Clear Paul Skenes (DK: $10,300, FD: $10.8k) Strength vs strength here. Wheeler vs Skenes and I think this whole game just shifts into the identity of two pitchers going at it and the hitters wind up doing very little. Yes, Schwarber and Harper are both hot right now for Philly and will drive up the pitch count likely on Skenes too. I don’t care. Gavin Williams (DK: $8600, FD: $10k) The rest of the options all come with some risk today. The Gavin Williams risk is two part. One, himself, because he is his own worst enemy and two because his car is in the front yard. So, please tell me why we are going to use him when JJ Bleday is going to come in through the window and homer to right field in the 2nd inning. Well, because that’s the only Red I think connects on him. Williams finishes through 6 innings, 7 strikeouts today. THE SUNDAY SLEEPER Stephen Kolek (DK: $7600) He’s checking every Sunday Sleeper box here. Mid level (7k) pitcher, who typically doesn’t have insane upside, but manages to not blow up. Coming in as a slight dog. Wont have any ownership and nobody on the other side made my analysis despite there being plenty of favorable split spots. Ignore the wind out to left. Kolek spins a good game. NOTES Friends do not let friends play Kevin Gausman on Sunday’s. Zack Wheeler is fine Nate Eovaldi starts again after missing his last one – worries me a little, I lean Peter Lambert if you want an arm in this game but he’s only $500 less than Gavin. There’s a lot of good individual spots today, but any ‘core’ player should be correlated with key parts around him. Building as if you are going 2-2-2 and then the two one offs are pairing with one of those stacks and your favorite island play. OF and 1B are the deepest spots today, so maybe fill them last or as that 3 man stack. GUARDIANS I feel like I know Brady Singer quite well. Brady Singer is going to get Ambushed today. Jose Ramirez Chase DeLauter Kyle Manzardo BRAVES Confidence can be a tricky thing. It helps you in many ways but then it comes out of nowhere and bites you. Bryan Bello is pitching with some confidence now after…...
