Good afternoon y’all. The Pirates just traded away Carlos Santana for an 18 year old short stop in developmental ball. Such is life as a fan of this cursed franchise. On the bright side, three game slate today! Very rare, very fun.
What you think about the micro on this slate is essentially meaningless, in my opinion. I’m not full fading any team today with the volume I intend on playing. I’m going to have a bit of everything today, but I have my leans.
First off is the Nationals. I want pieces of them today because they appear to have the worst matchup today, and it’s not a hot take to think so. Senga is good, but he has a Walks issue. This can always manifest itself in ugly ways, and the wind is blowing out in New York today at 14 MPH. The leverage here will be stronger than it should be.
I also want to mix in Guardians and White Sox a good bit as well. Bibee and Cease are going to be drafted in nearly every lobby and are both equally unappealing on the surface. But the probability that one of these teams ends up with the most runs scored today is not too far off from the Cardinals or Cubs. Cease is susceptible to walks as well, and the Guardians put bat to ball pretty well, albeit not at high exit velocities. That said, it’s not hard to envision them having a nice day.
On the flip side, Bibee is a nice young pitcher, and the White Sox are not a good team as a whole. They also just shipped off Lucas Giolito for two prospects from the Angels. Say what you will about how that will affect them today, but I want pieces of this lineup surrounding Luis Robert and/or Eloy Jimenez today.
If you’re not drafting heavy volume, I’d go for the 6-leg parlay lineup or stack the three teams I’ve mentioned above for some leverage over the field. I can see today getting chopped up top, but I’m hoping it’s me or one of you all there solo. Good luck today!
