First five moves

[atthehalf]

Overnight lock and load (Snakes) Zac Gallen, (Brews) Freddy Peralta and (Tigers) Tarik Skubal in as many leagues as you can stand. You can thank me later

Verlander won't bring as much return as they will. If you have Verlander you're winding him up and putting him on the ground without even thinking about it

Peralta's shaky start has given him oodles of value. I will have trouble sleeping tonight thinking of the opportunity to cash in on him while he has an ERA of 11.57. MASSIVE payday potential and yes I will be chasing strikeouts with him as well

[atthehalf]

Fresh off a shutout loss the Bombers will be swinging for the fences. Eli Morgan is in trouble to say the least. Roll with the Bombers Team Total to go OVER ANYTHING. I don't recommend anyone placing Taillon in any league as he is a DNS GAS CAN.


The Red Leggins and Cardinals both come in off shutout losses and will be aggressive at the plate. Matz is not the same fantasy stud of old and Greene has the velocity-yet interestingly enough is very hitable. Helps that the stadium is one that has high production for runs too.


Verlander-plug and play, It's that simple.


Peralta has an inflated ERA of 11.57 so now is the time to grab him and put him in as many leagues as you can stand and leave him there ready and available the rest of the season. Chase some strikeouts with this man.


Zac Gallen gets to face off against Peterson; who was a POD last week. Gallen is my #6 ranked pitcher and Peterson #16. Frankly the Snakes are piss-however they will get 5 strong frames from this man.


This brings us to this..


Tarik Skubal is hands down my POD, a fantasy all star move and you should plug him in as many leagues as possible on friday going against the limited Rox offense. I have Skubal as the #5 ranked starter facing Senzatela who is a DNS worthy of my 28th ranking for Friday. Tons of value with this one. You can make all kinds of money should he destroy an already weak offense.

Vince Velasquez is back at it again. I know it looks like I am picking on him-I'm not. He just shouldn't ever be a favorite. I elected to go with the OVER this time since he is up against a fellow DNS in Bundy.


Just keep rolling Montas out there in as many leagues as you can until the wheels fall off. He is my #1 ranked starter today.


Alex Wood-plug and play-don't overthink this


When I grabbed Matt Brash before he burst onto the scene no one had him on their board except me. I am reaping great benefits with this power move in my fantasy league platforms.


Yu Darvish-plug and play


Alek Manoah is my #2 ranked hurler today so therefore i blast away.


My POD today is one that I don't think that many if any would press the button for and it's Elieser Hernandez facing the Braves and Ian Anderson. I have him ranked at #12 and Ian Anderson at #10. Stranger things have happened. Should he outduel Anderson I will stand to rake in some serious coin.

[atthehalf]

I am not too in love with the schedule today so I am going to stick with my #1 gun in Webb and take a flyer on the Kershaw/Manaea matchup to go under the number. Lodolo gets the nod for the Red Leggins coming off being shutout. My feeling is that he will get some aggressive offensive help. Ordinarily I would plug and play Gerritt Cole-the only issue with that is he hasn't been the same since being caught with fingernail files.

Fresh off a shutout with hot bats left in the stove overnight come the Wanderers and Dane Dunning.

I like what I am seeing out of Lorenzen and Bieber so I am floating an UNDER move on this.

[atthehalf]

Massive schedule today! I am using my top 4 top tier fantasy arms and my POD is Zach Efkin who currently has an inflated ERA of 5.27 which of course gives him tremendous value. I don't recommend using the Blunts for the full game as their bullpen is nothing short of awful and the Rox may win it outright late. The same can be said for the Giants. Rodon has filthy stuff-the A's however are pesky. They don't have any household names whatsoever-and that translates into extreme effort. They too may win outright late. They are not intimidated nor afraid of their neighbors and the crowd in attendance may be filled with a split of A's and Giants fans.

Stud Triston McKenzie faces off against Sandoval in Anaheim. Having Mike Trout out of the batting order makes things slightly easier for Triston so I rolled with the UNDER. To avoid some of the massive juice I decided to go with the run line in some cases.being exposed like this it may cost me a few collateral damage losses-however this is a long season and I have no problem picking up fantasy wins at the cost of a few straight 5 frame losses. The highest I will go to in vig is -170


If you have Eflin-start him specifically in as many leagues as you can stand along with the top 4 I have. I started Luis Severino in a few leagues today also-however no straight with the Bombers as he may get shelled due to familiarity and the Orioles have hot bats right now.

4-0-2 on those

[atthehalf]

Zach Eflin paid the mortgage yesterday; appearing in 5 leagues for me with his jumbo ERA to take the world by storm and fatten up my pockets!


Some of the juice today is above my range so I will take a hit on a few of these from making RL moves. Again that's collateral damage when making moves over the course of the season. I may lose a straight side and still get paid in fantasy leagues.


I struggled a bit in putting together my top tier today with so many options. I settled on Urias as #1, who is a wonderful value as a Dodgers pitcher. The only issue with that is Gallen is also my #9 starter. As a rule for betting purposes when two top tiers are combined I roll with the UNDER.


You should utilize Urias in as many leagues as possible today.


Ohtani gets the nod as the #2 today-if you have him -start him. Bad performances by Ohtani are magnified because he doesn't get as many starts as one would like on your squads. You just have to roll with the intrinsic value. He is juiced out so I went with the RL.


Pablo Lopez is a stud and slides in at #3; Just start the man.

Cease and the Pale Hose behind him come in at #4; which is a good proposition with the Pale Hose coming off of a shutout loss and being aggressive. If you have the availability on your book-you may want to also play the Pale Hose offense-translate their team total to go OVER. Greinke has decreased velocity, and he has been painting the corners as a result RL for this


Everyone loves Pineda and hsi resurgence with the Tigers. I like Joe Ryan sliding in at #6 and Pineda I have as a DNS at #22. Needless to say yet I will anyway-Ryan was close to being my POD. The RL with this one


That leads to this


Aaron Ashby is the POD being rolled out there by the Brews against the light hitting Buccos (which made this move all the more appealing). The size of his return jumps off the page on you and should he live up to his billing I will have yet another rising star to go along with Brash. Rolling with the RL on this as well

Of course you're going to start Verlander tomorrow. That's a given; especially if you're chasing strikeouts He may not get the first five win based upon the batting lineup he will be facing against the Wanderers. Nevertheless he will not disappoint you in your platforms.

Overnight get Dakota Hudson (Cardinals) in as many leagues as you can stand. He is oozing with value and will be the POD in my fantasy leagues

Nice work, your Av making me hungry. Have great respect for those who do their homework.

[atthehalf]

Overnight I grabbed up some Dakota Hudson in 4 leagues, and Verlander in 3. He is pricey to say the least and losses with Verlander do not feel nice at all. He is my #1 guy on the board today so it is what it is. I am exposed a bit on this one going with the RL


Coming in at #2 in my rankings is Alek Manoah. Facing the Red Sox is never an easy time, however Whitlock is a DNS starter so I will take my chances with the Jays offense to give him proper support. He only tossed 48 pitches in his last game and the Jays are dangerous as hell. He is getting this start only because Tanner Houck is unvaccinated


The exact identical set of circumstances are there for #3 Kyle Wright facing the Cubs who are fresh off of destroying Charlie Morton (glad I didn't start him). Helping along with this one is another DNS starter in Smyly. Gotta go RL with this


I grabbed Wily Peralta while his ERA was at 10.6 and I am hanging on-he delivered an enormous amount of cash his last start for me; and I will not be letting go of him on my squad for here on out this season. If you've got him-wind him up and put him down. I have him ranked at #4 today. Too much juice=RL


#5 Michael Kopech gets the nod at #5 simply because it's the right move and the Royals are trotting out DNS Keller who has seen a decrease in velocity and spin rate which is a dangerous combination. Doesn't hurt at all that the Pale Hose are off of a shutout loss either and will be aggressive


Tarik Skubal has already paid one mortgage. I have him ranked at #6 only because he is facing a division foe in the Twins. Bailey Ober is ranked #10 so there goes your UNDER with 2 top tier top tens facing one another.


Dakota Hudson is actually ranked at #13; and he faces the poor Snakes bats and has the best defense behind him. he has already gone 6 frames this season and seems to be the safest of the lot today facing DNS Humberto Castillo

4-3-0 on those. Could have been 5-2-0 if the Astronauts hadn't left so many men on base in those first five frames. Verlander still cleaned up for me fantasy league wise however

[atthehalf]

If you are involved in fantasy leagues-pick up some Elieser Hernandez (Fish) overnight-he will be my POD for fantasy with the best value

[atthehalf]

Thank you Dakota! Those returns were awesome!

[atthehalf]

Overnight I grabbed some Elieser Hernandez (Fish) in 4 leagues hoping to bust the piggy bank wide open! While it's true that Brash is one of my fantasy studs the last 2 starts have displayed the volatility. I wouldn't be too discouraged-there will be undulation a bit this year for him-one must stay disciplined that the highs will outweigh the lows-that stated the Fish are simply just HOT (no pun intended)! This is my POD for fantasy buffs


Darvish #3 -you know the drill-just plug and play. I am on the FF RL and leaving myself exposed a bit. No FF RL available yet-I will fill in the blanks later. NL=NO LINE


Alex Wood #4 and the same as Darvish. NL FF RL available yet-I will fill in the price later


Giolito is my #2 ranked starter today and the price was right because he is facing Syndergaard


Coming in at #1 is Mr. Filthy Montas and the A's. He is an auto-start every time on the bump-regardless of where he ends up by season's end.


To have as much velocity as he does Hunter Greene is strangely very hittable-meaning that he doesn't have the best location. Senzatela is a DNS pitcher and they are playing in the highest ranked runs to score park.


My #6 starter Aaron Nola and Tyler Megill face one another-although i got burned by this yesterday I am going with the UNDER FF with 2 top tier pitchers facing one another

Load up on Cole Irvin (A's) overnight. he will be my fantasy POD tomorrow. If you have Gerrit Cole-of course you're rolling with him. I have 10 moves for Saturday; 3 of them totals. Vince Velasquez is FAVORED so there's an auto fade right off the top along with the Blunts who are off of a shutout loss facing Tijuan Walker a DNS pitcher who is ranked 26th for me...

[k310]

Nice start.

Bad finish, get 'em next time.

[atthehalf]

Without much delay this morning here is how I approached Saturday. I decided to roll with rays and McClanahan, my #4 strater only in my fantasy league-there's no telling if Manager Cash will let him go 5 frames..Velasquez was favored so I blasted away in full fade mode. As far as the Blunts they are off of a shutout so you know the drill

[atthehalf]

It's Ace Day! Who doesn't love Ace Day? Start all the studs in your tier one, grab some coffee, and enjoy your Sunday! And if you don't have tiers, make moves on mine, and figure out the rest when you get your ass home.


Grab some Michael Lorenzen on as many fantasy platforms as you can. Doesn't hurt that the Halos are on a shutout loss to boot. And that's not that I think that the Halos will automatically win this game. Their bullpen is not the best. I am chasing strikeouts with Lorenzen as well head to thead with Keuchel.


Since I refuse to pay over -160 for vigorous I had to leave myself exposed a bit by rolling with the runlines on some of the aces today so I fully expect to have some issues today trying to end up with a winning record for the first five frame moves. As long as I get those fantasy league wins I am ok with taking the collateral damage.
