SNAPSHOT
Only 7 games on the main slate tonight. Β Great MLB slate though for mid September.
PITCHING
Zach Greinke … Greinke is facing Bumgarner which will drive his ownership way down tonight. Β However, MadBum has not been right all year and it’s clear he wont be until next season. Β Greinke on the other hand is pitching one of his better seasons and in this ballpark (SF) and against that lineup (trash) is my top guy today.
Jacob deGrom … I’m not paying more for deGrom on the road in a hitters park than I would for Greinke, but if you want some higher strikeout upside then this is your spot. Β But, don’t ask me why he isn’t on my FanDuel rosters. Β Because I am all in for Greinke on FanDuel. Β On DK, I want both together or Greinke plus one of the SNEAKY/SP2 guys.
SNEAKY ARMS / SP2
Parker Bridwell … We quickly forget that the Rangers on the road against RHP have been bad all year and Bridwell comes in really cheap tonight on DK giving us a nice pairing to load up for the Rockies bats.
Marco Estrada … Rain concerns here but I like Estrada’s soft stuff against the Twins.
FAVORITE STACKS
Rockies … Jordan Lyles has never had much luck getting swings and misses (yes, that’s important for a pitcher unlike what long haired morons who have intelligence envy touted earlier this MLB season. Β BTW… If your early or mid season baseball tout is now touting their NFL model and not saying anything about baseball still then they’re a fraud…)… Β I digress. Β Rockies. Β Chalk. Β And will do well tonight.
Mets … Asdrubal, Nimmo, and any other lefty they roll out against Dickey…..
Athletics … Park shift remains strong. Β Righties get in on the act today. Β Specifically Khrush Davis.
