Alright, ladies and gentlemen! We have ourselves an interesting little eight-game slate to get into today. A ton of middling pitchers and negative park effects all over the place so I’ll do my best today to make sure you have good information to go off of to prepare you for this 8 gamer. Here is my Win Daily Sports FanDuel main slate breakdown for 8.8.
Main Slate Breakdown for 8.8 Pitching:
Cash
Merrill Kelly, Diamondbacks, 8.5K:
To be honest I’d be good with taking either side of this contest in terms of pitching. Neither Arizona nor San Diego has been very impressive offensively to this point and now you get the added benefit of playing at San Diego with the wind blowing in from left field. I would at all be shocked to see this game end 1-0 or 2-1. I just like Kelly a bit more due to price and my lean towards Arizona winning. All else is equal to me.
Chris Paddack, Padres, 8.5K:
See Merrill Kelly above, If you think San Diego will win you should roll with Paddack.
David Peterson, Mets, 8.3K:
Miami has been playing surprisingly well with a limited roster and the wind is blowing out at Citi Field, but I have no reason to think it continues against the Mets and David Peterson tonight. Peterson put on a pretty showing against the Braves in his last start striking out eight in six innings, although he did give up three earned on five hits. I almost put him on the GPP writeup but the fact that Miami only has about half of their original roster playing leads me to put him in cash today.
GPP
Zack Godley, Red Sox, 7.2K:
He has largely looked like a shell of his former self against the Yankees but I’m willing to take another chance on him at a discounted price. He throws almost exclusively cutters, curves, and change-ups now which profiles well against the blue jays. Yankees hit finesse pitchers extremely well and it showed in his last outing, Blue Jays aren’t nearly as potent in that regard.
Patrick Sandoval, Angles, 5.6K:
My only question here is whether or not he will get the innings to accumulate stats. Rangers are loaded with left-handed bats which helps him in terms of platoon splits and he’s still well over a nine K/9 guy night in and night out.
Main Slate Breakdown for 8.8 Stacks and Bats:
Just FYI my stacks are in no particular order in terms of favorites, I’m not sure if I made that clear previously. Oh, and Dodgers are always implied unless I state otherwise.
Twins:
I am going to be leaning pretty heavily on the Twins tonight as the face off against the Royals and Danny Duffy today. They have the highest implied total today (5.2) and I expect that number to rise. The wind will be blowing out and guys like Nelson Cruz, Marwin Gonzalez, and Josh Donaldson all profile extremely well against Duffy, and all three have OPS’s of at least .947 against Duffy in a pretty decent sample size.
Cash: Cruz, Gonzalez, Donaldson GPP:Jake Cave, Miguel Sano, Alex Avila
Cincinatti:
I could stack either side of this contest, Nick Castellanos, Nick Senzel, Jesse Winker, and Joey Votto all profile reasonably well and Freddy Galvis is worth a look in GPP formats. the implied total for this contest concerns be a bit but this is a bit of a strange slate so I’m going to be getting some shares of both sides of this contest.
Cash: Nick Castellanos, Nick Senzel GPP: Nick Senzel, Jesse Winkler, Freddy Galvis, Joey Votto
Milwaukee:
All else being equal to their above competitor. The guys I like on the Milwaukee side are Christian Yellich, Eric Sogard, Logan Morrison, and Manny Pina.
Cash: Chritian Yellich, Logan Morrison GPP: Eric Sogard, Manny Pina
