Uriah Wesson 
Before I go into anything today I just wanted to take a brief moment to remember what today is. I know we have many folks on the staff from the New York area and the events personally shaped the rest of my life as I enlisted following the events of 9/11 at 17 years old and spent almost 10 years in active service. The phrase “We will never forget” gets said almost as a reaction at this point but there won’t be a day that goes by where I do not remember the impact that it had on myself and those around the world.
Well folks, after many painstaking months of wondering if it would actually happen, here we are in this strange place that only 2020 could give us.

Tonight, at first glance we have a ton of ace pitching to choose and a vast selections of stacks with implied totals of over five runs (six on the main slate so far). While it seems daunting we’ll be able to reduce the pitching a good deal for you today and whittle down your stack selections to something a bit more manageable. Lets not waste anymore time and get into my FanDuel Main Slate Breakdown for 9.11
FanDuel Main Slate Breakdown for 9.11 Pitching:
Lucas Giolito, White Sox, 10.8K:
This seems almost to good to be true. An ace arm, against arguably the worst offense in the league, at home, with the wind blowing in from right at about 10mph. I very well may end up 100 percent Lucas today. I don’t really care what his price is. I’m going to keep this very simple. He struck out 13 in seven innings for 70 FanDuel points in his last contest against the Tigers and now he gets a boost from the wind. Don’t get cute today, especially in cash. You’ll regret it.
Luis Castillo, Reds, 9.1K
We all know that Castillo is a fantastic talent, but he can get a bit wild at times limiting how deeply he can get into games but even with the control issues he’s a strikeout machine. In five of his eight starts he has struck out at least 7. The reason I like him is that the Cardinals have struck out less than anyone in the league right now which I think will give people a bit of pause when using him on FanDuel where strikeouts are more important. But what they may not notice is that the Cards have over 150 less plate appearances than any other team due to Covid.
I know I’m limited on pitching today but I’m really going nowhere else. I feel extremely confident about both of these guys.
FanDuel Main Slate Breakdown for 9.11 Stacks and Bats:
Rockies:
It is extremely difficult to ignore an implied run total of 6.5. Vegas is not really in the habit of putting out a number like this unless they are sure that it will be an offensive explosion. The only rub here is that unless you do some serious bargain hunting you’ll have to take an approach where you stack the lower part of the lineup. Trevor Story, Nolan Arenado, and Charlie Blackmon all obviously profile well with wOBA’s of over .370 and hard hit rates of around 40% over the last 2 seasons if you can afford them but Matt Kemp, Kevin Pillar, and Ryan McMahon would make for a solid bottom of the rotation stack against a pitcher who allows a 50% hard hit rate against both left and right handed bats as well as fly ball rates of over 40%.
Brewers:
Hey it is important to maintain traditions. Happy Lester day everyone. There is a reason that we do it. Even when his outing ends well, it never makes any sense statistically. 43% hard hit rate, 41% fly ball rate, 12.1% barrel rate, and swinging strike rate of 6.5%. I legitimately have no issue with the bats top to bottom but guys like Jedd Gyorko, Christian Yelich, and Avisail Garcia especially draw my attention.
Royals:
Love this play for your salary relief tonight so that you can pay up for a stud pitcher *cough* Giolito *cough*. To put it gently, Steven Brault is…well struggling. Especially against right handed bats. In 2019 he was giving up and OPS of nearly .830 to righties bats and nearly .900 in away games. Guess what the Royals have a lot of in today’s home game? Whit Merrifield, Hunter Dozier, Maikel Franco, Ryan McBroom, and even Edward Olivares match up pretty well from a statistical standpoint. This may allow you some room to even fit the big Colorado bats.
Others to consider: Always Dodgers (I know they aren’t playing)
Favorite Pitcher:
Cash: Lucas Giolito
GPP: Lucas Giolito…..Seriously….Why would you go anywhere else? Fine have it your way. Luis Castillo
