Not a good couple of lineups last night for me. This stuff requires a lot of attention to detail, and I’m not really able to zone in when I’m not in my usual setup and schedule at home.
I’ve had these thoughts of just going full DFS mode and making a website. I could come up with some projection models for NBA, NFL, and NHL and hire some people to write some daily articles and see where it takes us. We’d call it PLAY THE BEST PLAYS DFS, which is a really bad name. It could be shortened to PTBP. But that also sucks.
So maybe we’d call it EAT THE CHALK (ETC). Or maybe it’ll just never happen. Making projections is really hard. But I do have a real interest in that.
Tonight’s baseball slate, now.
Weather
Three concerning spots for the main slate.
No huge PPD risk, but definitely some delay risk and you never know what can happen. It seems that mostly this year we’re getting games PPD early, or games that are able to finish.
Game Info
We’ve gotta deal with Coors and Vegas again tonight. the run implications are ridiculous once again.
The advantage of the park in Vegas seems to be from the shorter dimensions and the altitude that has the ball carrying a lot further.
So you want the fly ball hitters in that game.
These pitchers aren’t very good. The O/U being at 14.5 is wild to see. So the DFS slate is pretty simple again. Get bats in Coors and Vegas.
Pitchers
The rain delay could end up messing with Chris Sale ($11,000). And that’s a season-high price on the guy. So there’s a reason to stay away. But I don’t think I’m going to do it. There’s no other truly safe arm on the board here. Sale clears the field by a good margin.
Reid Detmers ($7,500) is . He should be more than this given his near 40% K% recently. And the Astros aren’t a tough matchup.
The cash duo is pretty simple, then. Sale + Detmers.
Gore is a fine spot at a low price, but his performance has not been deserving of confidence.
The projections aren’t currently accounting properly for the Vegas ballpark. We have to mentally be boosting the hitters up and the pitchers down.
If ATL/CWS looks really risky due to rain, we’ll have to rethink some things. But if the weather isn’t an issue, it’s Sale + Detmers without much issue in cash tonight.
If something goes awry there, Jesus Luzardo ($8,500) against Toronto would be the play I’d fill in. Low strikeout projection there against the elite contact rate Blue Jays lineup. But he’s very good and the Blue Jays aren’t typically putting a hurting on opposing pitchers.
Hitters
CATCHERS
Hunter Goodman ($5,400): Pretty great spot for right handed Rockies against the completely broken Shota Imanaga. Of course, broken pitchers can get fixed. But Goodman is a really good hitter against a pitcher who gives up a bunch of homers even when he’s pitching better.
Shea Langeliers ($5,700): It’s going to be a very predictable list here. We’re going to Vegas for Langeliers. But for $300 more than Goodman, it’s not a slam dunk.
Moises Ballesteros ($4,000): It’s been a big time struggle for Ballesteros since his hot April. But for $4,000 in Coors against Lorenzen and possibly hitting in the two-hole, he’s hard to ignore.
