Good morning! It’s Wednesday, and we’re staring directly in the face of an 8 game main slate. We have a very solid group of starters going today that will certainly shake up Dinger Round 2 lobbies. Due to these solid starters, the decision tree for drafting seems very cut and dry. Avoid the good starters, target the Braves, and bump up the bats in Chicago and KC.

In KC: James McArthur is starting as the opener for the Royals. Bullpen games stink from a fantasy and real-life baseball standpoint, but I’ll take a lot of Mariners today. I’m sure that will be a popular stack today.

In Chicago: Strong winds, and probably two bad pitchers (once we get clarification on who is on the hill for the Cubs today). Give me all the Cubs, LBJ, and Eloy.

The Rangers are playing some inspired ball lately. They’re 8-2 in their last 10, and have been greatly enjoying beating up on the division rival LA Angels. Reid Detmers last two starts have been abysmal, and I don’t see a reason to think he will come out on fire against the Rangers tonight. Corey Seager is making a strong case to be 1.02/1.03 in every contest moving forward. He is the best hitter in the American League right now.

One player I want heavy exposure to today as well is Fernando Tatis Jr. Jon on the Badge Bros had mentioned about how unlucky Tatis has been lately. His BA on barreled balls is hilariously low, but he is starting to get some better results his way. He seems like a priority one-off for me today.

Best of luck everyone. Thank you for reading! I plan on making some changes to this some day soon, going from a blog style to a newsletter. Appreciate everyone who checks this out.
