Today, I raise my fist in solidarity with the anti-AI crowd. We should not let AI replace human art. So I have used said fist to draw my own graphic using my daughter’s markers. She has some nice markers.
A few people have asked about the implied run stuff I’ve been sharing. So I separated that out into its own sheet.
Bookmark it here. It updates every time my projection model runs.
It is the first day when we have to worry about the weather. RotoGrinders let Kevin Roth go this winter, so he’s over at Prop Finder now. I offered him like $11 per year to join MLB DW full-time, but he turned me down. Probably he hates me because I’m white.

The simplicity of the color-coding man. If you want to make it big online, you just have to do ranked lists of stuff and do a lot of color coding.
The spots to worry about:
NYM at STL: Orange
CLE at LAD: Orange
Orange means there’s a chance of a delay or PPD, but there is a “red” category where the risk is highest. We rarely see any worries out in California, and with that game being a 10:10 start, it’s tough to use players in that one. And that is Shohei Ohtani’s first pitcher start.
So let’s move forward, breaking down two DFS slates tonight, shall we? These turbo slate (between 6 and 7pm) are playable.
Early Slate
Pitchers we have a close eye on for fantasy purposes: Bubba Chandler and Andrew Painter. Does Chandler have secondaries? Is he throwing the fastball for strikes? And it’s the long-awaited MLB debut of Andrew Painter! My questions are about if he’ll be able to get the high-velo fastball by Major League hitters, because the pitch has not worked well since his Tommy John.
