Steve Renner dives into the MLB slate for tonight to give you his expert picks and sometimes off the wall analysis ….
PITCHING
Jose Berrios … I love Berrios today who’s nasty stuff will generate plenty of whiffs from the Blue Jays lineup. Top play on all sites….
Brad Peacock … BP rarely pitches deep into games, he shouldn’t be on your radar on FanDuel because of this and is mainly a DK SP2 play in a nice matchup against the Angels.
Tanner Roark … I hate going against my guy Folty, but I see Roark quieting the Braves bats enough today and getting some run support in humid conditions for September in DC. The Nats offense should be led by a huge game from Turner and Roark will benefit with a nice 7-3 win…. Assuming Dusty Baker doesn’t let him throw 150 pitches when he is clearly done at 105 … (ANGER!!!!!)
SNEAKY CALL
Andrew Cashner … Better at home and the Rangers are gonna murder King Felix as they always do at home.
FAVORITE STACKS
Rangers … King Felix back on the mound and in Texans where he really has struggled.
Phillies … Can’t stop. Won’t stop… Jose Urena? pffft. Gimme more Philly love baby!
Twins … Twins have been hammering the crap out of the ball and should beat up Brett Anderson today. Love this lineup because it’s so balanced right now and producing 1-9.
Astros … Nolasco is a walking HR machine. Brian McCann lifetime 26 for 76 with nine.. yes, nine homers off him.
SNEAKY STACK
Royals … Moose and Hosmer. Streak ends tonight.
