I’m off work and we have some family coming for the long weekend, so I don’t think we’ll get a DFS post out tomorrow unless Trevor fills in for me.
The day has been crazy with work, but I’m going to jam out this July 2nd DFS slate preview because I need to play tonight to give myself some enjoyment of baseball today to kick off this elite July 4th semiquincentennial weekend.
Weather
Another beautiful night, no problems here!
Game Info
No stupid Wrigley winds, no Coors Field!
The big spots:
Dodgers vs. Vasquez in LA
Rays vs. Kolek
Royals vs. Seymour
Mariners vs. Urena
I don’t get the implied totals in this Rays/Royals series. Junior Caminero is doing ridiculous things, but the Royals at 4.98 against Seymour and the Rays doesn’t make much sense to me.
The Dodgers are in a class of their own. Vasquez has been awful, really really awful, and this game being in LA makes quite a bit of difference for Vasquez cause he doesn’t have the San Diego park to help out.
So a horrific spot if you’re a Padres fan. And I’m just going to aim my fire at Dodgers bats where I can fit them.
Cleveland is also a half of a run in implication above their season average. They’re against Davis Martin… so that’s another interesting line. Martin’s really fallen off lately with really high ball rates lately and just 11 strikeouts in three starts.
But he’s given up one run in his last two after that nine-run disaster. I’d rather be on the Martin side than the side of that bad Cleveland lineup, but I’m not opposed to some cheap lefties on Cleveland. And that should describe every lefty because they’re all bad.
