Good morning! We have a beautiful five game slate today for the main slate, featuring two aces and some fun ball parks. Let’s jump right into the biggest decision point we have today.
What to do with the Aces?
Valdez and Strider are pretty clearly the 1a and 1b on today’s slate at pitcher. Both however face difficult matchups, with Valdez taking on a still dangerous Rangers lineup sans Seager that has plenty of RHB to attack him with, and Strider facing an onslaught of LHB in a hitters park. The field will not be full fading these offenses, but it’s very safe to assume they will be well underweight. With only 10 teams to draft from today, this is an obvious opportunity to take advantage. Onslaughts, 3-mans, and 2-man stacks for the Rangers and Red Sox should be included today.
Today is a day where I want a little bit of everything. Last night, LAAKE20 took down the main slate with a Mets onslaught. It appears Pete Alonso is back in full health again. They are once again interesting in facing Carlos Rodon, who is coming off a not great outing against the Angels. I don’t anticipate an onslaught taking down the whole thing today, but it’s not impossible that one team goes off four double digit runs while every other game is boring and quiet. I will likely be pairing two stacks in the majority of my builds today, in search of my first bink since June 22nd.
If there’s any teams I’m crossing out of my player pool today, it’s the Yankees, the Athletics, and the Mets. I like Jose Quintana enough that I don’t want to be stacking against him a lot today, and the Mets coming off slate winning performance are liable to be overpriced today. And the Athletics are the Athletics facing a lefty. Maybe I’ll incoporate Brent Rooker on a team or two, but that’s about it.
Best of luck today, I’ll see you in the lobbies.
