It’s a shorter main early slate, so going with stacks is theanswer.
Steven Matz is nowhere near as erratic and bad as many makehim out to be, but Anthony Rendon kills all Mets, and is worth the $5700 onDraftKings on today’s early slate.
Kendrys Morales is a fine salary saver against Dylan Bundyat 3400. The Yankees are the stack of the day. Platoon splits will not matter.Aaron Hicks is 4500 and hits second. Luke Voit is 5100 and is well worth thespend for some power. Brett Gardner is hitting sixth and you should roll withhim at 4,500.
I will be taking Red Sox against Clayton Richard. I am in on Xander Bogaerts and Michael Chavis. Boston is another preferred stack.
If Pablo Sandoval is in the lineup today, go with him at4200 against Kevin Gausman.
MONKEYKNIFE FIGHT PICK FOR THURSDAY
Stephen Strasburg over 7.5 strikeouts
Max Scherzer punched out nine Mets in six innings on Wednesday.Strasburg will follow suit against a lineup that should be without MichaelConforto and Robinson Cano and is making an early start after a night game.
