For tomorrow I have a yen for Griffin Canning#14 and Alec Marsh#19 to go OVER. One guy has a record of 3-0 with an ERA of 2.70 and the other has 1-4 with an ERA of 6.69. The Royals hit .333 of of Canning and with 24 at bats he has 7 K's; 2 free passes and surrendered 8 hits and 3 dingers. Marsh is coming off of the IL after a 15 day stint. He has never faced the Halos either.
IN other news Edwin Moscoso is getting his first home plate umpire duties in a few minutes with Snakes and Red Leggins!
Also Paul Skenes (Buccos), That's it. Paul Skenes. Hope that you grabbed him already. It will be costly if you didn't take the advice. Hopefully his girlfriend Olivia Dunne shows up to his first start! Lucky man!
Hunter Greene didn't have his best stuff today-throwing on average 94 MPH, which is way lower than the 98 he usually throws. He didn't give me my 6 frames so I am taking a sizeable loss fantasy wise even if the Red Leggins do win this game in this platform. 5 walks won't get it done

In other news I also tied up some Astronauts+117 with Blanco. No one in their right mind would take that bet except for the bookies.
Based upon what I am seeing those with little to no knowledge of pitchers strengths and weaknesses are blasting away on the Bombers because it's Wednesday. Stroman's arsenal is tailor made for the Astronauts and the team total is disrespectful at 4 +100 for the over. You know what to do

Rusty Pressley gave up my +175 RRL money last night when he gave up that bomb for Judge! Bastard LOL! And 8 LOB for the Astronauts killed my team total. Oh well it's over like yesterday

I have Glasnow at the top of my pitcher list today but the juice is a bit much for me to utilize in this format so just mirror me on your rosters with him. He usually doesn't disappoint. I am also high on Ranger Suarez (Blunts) and again the juice is higher than I am willing to go. I have him ranked at #7. Ok now let's get the rest of my leader board. As stated Yordan Alvarez (Astronauts) paid me HANDSOMELY last night and I just picked him up off the waiver wire that night before! Keep him in play on your roster along with Matt Olson (Braves).
Message to Tanner Houck-C'mon man-don't just leave everything over the plate today ok? Your arsenal is much better than that!
Framber Valdez...is the slider a thing or not?

The Tigers have their pitching all set up for the visiting Astronauts thanks to some much needed rest. There will be opportunities to steal one of these games in this series-and I have them all on roster too!
Damn..the Snakes have Cole Irvin's number. I just got a tip from a fellow league member who is pressing the button on the Snakes bats today because they are hitting .353 in 34 at bats against Irvin with 4 dingers and 12 ribs, .824 slugging % and get this, a 1.176 OPS. Yikes-I am following suit and getting me some too!

As the day goes along I am starting to favor the Halos Griffin Canning who has totally overhauled his repertoire and is now impressing me by his lack of 4 seamer mistakes lately-and his secondaries have been delicately spotted across his last two outings. As stated Alec Marsh is fresh off the IL and may be a little off his game which is why i have him ranked #19 to Canning's #14. Any time that I see a higher ranked pitcher as an underdog it is an auto play-grudgingly I am going to not fight the forces of nature and go with the flow in an attempt to handle my money in such a way as to seemingly be trying to lose it. At the time of me writing this 98% of the money is on the Royals which means that there are plenty of bettors out there trying to pick up an easy chicken dinner, with the books lined up too taking all of the action for the Royals. I say if the books are willing to take bets for the Royals and win a heap of money should they lose then so can I
Rot.#972 Halos+109 Canning#14 + WEAK OFFENSE vs Marsh#19 +SOLID OFFENSE CRUMBS POD 2 UNITS
Only an idiot who isn't in their right mind would bet the Halos tonight. What have I just done..
Thank you Yordan Alvarez! I made so much off of that home run and double yesterday. Arraez is doing his thing, Colton Cowser is doing his thing and life is good in my batting fantasy league roster. Now if Matt Olson hits a dinger today I will be cashing out in that league for the week before I give it all back to the man! I wanted Gunnar Henderson too but someone claimed him.
On the pitching front I have goosebumps about Skenes. If he goes over 8 or so K's in his first start there will be an explosion big enough to split Yosemite in half!
Alright-more insane stuff using my rostered fantasy league pitchers that won't make any sense to the common man

Ah those pesky bullpens! The Halos pen let it go in the top of the 9th! It certainly wasn't Canning's fault as he pitched a gem. Fantasy wise I got exactly what I wanted when Matt Olson hit a dinger and Crochet had 11, I mean 11 K's in his outing.
Back at it again today

Well y'all I have to do some travel today for my son's baseball team so I may/may to be able to get back in time to fill in the blanks- not a good idea to post while driving. Have a good Saturday!
