- Writing this while out and about, sorry for the short write up! I like Framber Valdez the most out of all the aces, as he gets a Texas Rangers team that lost Frazier, one of their best LHP hitters. Valdez has taken over and has shown remarkable improvement and I absolutely love the upside here. Even on a Coors slate I will likely fit him in tonight. I don’t really like any other pitcher on the slate for cash games.
- In terms of bats, this is where I want to go more in depth. Aside from the chalk Colorado Rockies who face Kevin Gausman, who by the way, has shown great improvement as well, I love the Atlanta Braves. The Rockies will likely have a few balls leave the park today with Gausman’s struggling HR numbers, but aside from that his peripherals look great, sporting a 31% K ratio. The Braves are my pivot stack vs Hart, who is apart of a struggling Red Sox squad. I love Dansby Swanson, Marcell Ozuna, and Austin Riley the most here, and I will be forcing them into my cash game builds. A game stack I like that could go underowned is the Mets/Orioles game. Ariel Jurado makes his return to the bigs and is facing A. Wojciechowski, who isn’t a completely awful like Jurado but has his moments. I like the Mets lefties, in particular Michael Conforto, Brandon Nimmo, Dom Smith, and Robinson Cano. On the opposing side I love Cedric Mullins, Anthony Santander, Iglesias and Renato Nunez.
- That’s my mini-breakdown for the day! I hope you guys enjoy, let me know if you have any questions. Good luck!
