Good 14-game afternoon. We were close last night! Flirted with first in the late slate but ultimately got rugged. Felt fun to be in the hunt again, can tell we’re getting closer to a big W.
Today is a really interesting pitching slate. There are not a lot of “aces” on the slate today, and the best pitchers available are in tricky matchups for the most part. Off the top, it looks like a “wait on pitcher” in the 6-person drafts, and a “strong preference” day for the Cycle, where I never want to be left out to dry at the position. But with 20 something options at our disposal, it’s not the end of the world.

There’s my lists. They are what they are. I don’t really have any recommendations on how you should use them. You’re free to use my opinions however you prefer. On a 14-game slate, there are no rules. I’ll be doing plenty of 5 man and 4 man stacks where I feel there is leverage, along with some best player available drafting and “chalk” drafting. There’s some dudes we need to watch out for, and be prepared to swap off of if they’re not playing.
Fernando Tatis Jr apparently has a nagging ankle injury. I feel pretty confident he plays tonight, and hopefully he does against Manoah. I’m not buying his bounce back.
Shohei Ohtani struck out swinging in the 9th last night and looked achey after. If you ask me? He could probably use a break. They’re in do or die mode, but he hasn’t had a day off in a while (I know the ASB just happened). I’m going to wait until as late as possible to take Shohei.
Cedric Mullins hasn’t played in the last two(?) games. The fact he isn’t on the IL is a good sign, but what would be even better is if he played tonight. He will be undrafted until lineups come out, so maybe take some swings in the last round for the free swap if he sits again.
That will do it for me today. Best of luck everyone on this massive slate. Here’s a pick’em I threw together. I put $5 on it.
