The Staff
Flaherty – Will be extremely chalky tonight considering the lack of quality arms on the slate. He has struggled to get into quality start territory and does struggle a lot against LHB. This is strictly a play based on following the field and taking the best arm. I’ll be way underweight tonight on him.
Lambert – Yes it’s Coors and yes the Giants almost put a 20 spot on them in game 1. He’s seen arguably 3 of the top hitting teams so far this year in his limited starts with 3 of those games coming in Coors. Both teams are coming off playing 7 hours of baseball yesterday, so there will be some fatigue especially in the thin air (lets just go with that to justify).
Mengden – Ballpark In his favor, and coming off 3 straight wins. He has been “great” but he has been good enough to get you 30 points and a win.
Cashner – 5 straight QS with his last 40 burger coming against Toronto. He’s allowed just 5 runs in his last 5 starts and gets the home town Fenway PAHK In his first start for the Sox.
The Bats
Mets – Love this spot for the top of the lineup. McNeil has been blistering, Conforto moves back up in the top 2. Alonso and Cano homer.
Dodgers – VV can’t get lefties out, he won’t make out of the 3rd. Joc is too cheap. Get the lefties in.
Twins – Looks like Cron and Rosario are back, so good luck Matz. One off Cruz in every lineup if you don’t want to stack.
Red Sox – They May get lost in the shuffle of the large slate. Waguespack couldn’t get AAA guys out. Devers/Bogy mini stack.
