Tonight is the complete opposite from last night’s slate, lots of hitting to choose from, very few logical pitching choices. 

I am fairly certain at this point that basically the top two choices will be rained out tonight: Arrieta and Gio G.  Even if the game gets played, the weather is so bleak, the chances of getting a shortened outing because of a delay is enough for me to take them right off the board.

Matt Harvey is at home against Cinci and I would assume he will be the highest owned SP tonight due to lack of options.  My problem is, he just hasn’t looked right yet.  His strikeouts are way down and something mechanically isn’t working for him yet, I don’t blame anyone for playing him, I just don’t see that 9 K game yet which would justify his price tag tonight.

Sonny Gray and Iwakuma are the best options tonight in my opinion, and should both perform efficiently enough for you to make some $$.  Gray is facing a Detroit team who has not only been striking out against Righties at an alarming clip, but just can’t hit in general as well.  Verlander may get ROCKED by Oakland’s Lefties, so a win is definitely possible.  Iwakuma has GREAT numbers versus Houston, they strikeout more than any other team in MLB, Houston is slumping, and Iwakuma pitches better at home.  No matter how hard I dig, Gray and Iwakuma keep equaling the best plays tonight

 

If you want to get REAL Ballsy, I mean drunkin Vegas, cocaine , strippers, making it rain on  the Craps table BALLSY, NOBODY will be on Martin Perez tonight.  If you want a huge Pittsburgh stack, you need a low $$ SP to fit everyone in.  The Yanks stink vs Lefties, and when the SLUMP, they SLUMP collectively as a team.  Hail Mary, HUGE GPP contrarian play, roll with MARTIN PEREZ.  If he can sneak out a win, 1 or 2 ER, and 7 ks, that could be HUGE

There are SOOOO many SP’s to pick on tonight, you can stack a shitload of teams. 

Lefties vs Bud Norris (especially Travis Shaw)

Legit the ENTIRE Mets squad versus Mascot (Conforto, Duda, Asdrubal)

Every player from both teams in The Colorado game (Favorites : Reynolds, Arenado, Marte, Polanco, McCutchen)

I like Segura and Yasmany Tomas against an as of late TERRIBLE Wainwright

I LOVE DIAZ and Hazelbaker against Corbin tonight

I like Cruz and Cano against a struggling McHugh in Seattle tonight

I LOVE Stanton tonight against Kazmir, LA is Stanton’s new Coors Field apparently

The Dodgers have a CAKE matchup, but I just don’t trust ANY hitters on this team.  Gun to my head, I’ll throw a Puig in a lineup.

I don’t think tonight is the night to get cute with SP.  Arrieta looks like he has some weather to deal with , and that coupled with the fact that he is the most expensive guy on the board, I won’t be paying up for him.  I think G Cole is the best option on the board against The Padres, and Dallas Keuchel is a close second,  pitching against a Texas team that historically strikes out a lot against lefties.  Cole is the safer option of the two.   Edinson Volquez might be a popular play tonight but his BVP against Detroit is TERRIBLE!!  No thanks.  My sneaky play is actually James Shields, I don’t think he will be highly owned, and could strike out 6-8 guys tonight, and with no true STUD going in a good situation, it’s not out of the question that those numbers take the cake tonight.

 

My favorite stack of the night is KC.  I love the OVER in this game.  Escobar,  Mouse, Cain, Hosmer, Perez and Gordon are all in great spots tonight to rake.  Shuffle them around, and get as many combos as you can with these 6 guys in your lineups.

 

I’m all in on Edwin E tonight.  Great numbers throughout his career in Camden Yards, paired with great BVP against Tillman, AND a big over/under with Toronto favored, makes him my top play of the night.

 

I think Beltran has a ton of value tonight.  I love his matchup, I love him hitting in the 3 hole, and he is still too cheap to pass up in this situation.  

 

My top sneaky play of the night is……………………….Jason Castro.  Good BVP, great numbers in Texas, and he’s overdue to breakout of this slump.  Even with a small slate, I think his ownership will still be down under 5%.  Demons prediction: 2-4 with a double and a HR.
