In honor of our great country’s 250th birthday weekend I think we should bring back ridding our country of those who are not on board with giving us the great things that we enjoy so much. I am specifically speaking about the person who put together the MLB Schedule. Don’t even get me started on tomorrows’ game times now. Let’s just focus on the fact that the Cubs are playing a home game today — a Friday — in July. Great. At 4PM??? Weak. But, fine, we’ll let that slide. Having teams not playing tonight because of the World Cup? Pathetic. MLB couldn’t just have those teams in other cities right now? What are the people who have centered their whole life around watching the …. *checks notes* Phillies and Royals … supposed to do on this Friday evening? On second thought. Thank you to whomever had those teams not playing tonight. Could you maybe have the Royals not play at all the rest of the season? WEATHER As always chance of Thunderstorms but should get all games in tonight. Two main guys up top for me tonight, with a batch of options in the ‘Other’ section who are probably good as well. I just favor these two significantly more. REID DETMERS (DK: $8300) Boston’s still kinda heavy on the lefty splits IMO and thus isn’t in the best spot to beat up Detmers. DYLAN CEASE (DK: $10,200) The strikeouts will be there and the park also helps him avoid blow ups hopefully. Gotta trust picking on the Mariners at home more than rolling with Ohtani against the Padres as bad as they can be at times too. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS Logan Webb stopped walking guys in June and now he has turned it around. Shocking how that correlates well for someone that has to get by on going deep into games because he’s rarely going to just overpower hitters. In Coors, if you walk guys, you are dead, but with how Webb has been good in the zone lately I trust him to keep it up. That said, the price is too high for someone who has to go long in an environment where going long is hard. I trust Nick Martinez a good amount tonight, but the upside with him is always limited. Jake Bennett is also in this ‘other’ tier as grading out well. …...
