Thoughts?

[darrell74]

Rockies and Diamondbacks players seem like good pickups, per usual
Just picked up Carlos Gonzalez and Nick Ahmed on free agency

[darrell74]

Dodgers hitting seems pretty bad
I picked up Patrick Corbin in a spot start for tomorrow

[Cross]

I hear the humidor installed in Arizona, let’s see the effect.

nice pickup there, 12k's today for a heck of a start.

Corbin crushed an awful Dodgers team.
I'm short on starters, so I might have to keep him instead of stream. At least till the next start.

Tomorrow, I like Kyle Gibson in a spot start.
Mariners look to be without Nelly, and their were awfully cold today


3b Christian Villanueva in San Diego is somebody on the radar, 3 for 7 3 homers.
Worth a stash if you have space
Personally, I don't have room. I'm not dropping Anthony Renton, this early in the season

[darrell74]

looked at my team and thought holy s*** half my roster is off today it's a f****** Friday and this is f****** baseball everybody should be played on a Friday right?

Ryan Flaherty only 6% owned, 2b for Atlanta, a lefty you can stream against a righty in Coors
base hit in every game so far
Looks to be permanent 3b, possibly

Every pitcher looks hitable later today
Might be a god day to bet the over in the salami

[darrell74]

Adam Ottavino average is 2 strikeouts per inning at least
Mid reliever
cheap source of k's, pad the whip/era
Colorado Rockies

A few pitching matchup to exploit
Tillman for The O's still looks bad
Sean Newcomb for the Braves looks like a bad matchup in Coors Field
Stream Yankees and Rockies starting bats
With the Yankees, problem is that there aren't a lot of Yankees you can stream

[darrell74]

Jed Lowrie, 2b Oakland, only 9% owned.
Good average. B2B homers last 2 nights

[darrell74]

Tyler Mahle SP of Cincinnati, might be worth a spot start in Pittsburgh

[Underdog5229]

Thanks for the info, getting close to trying this DF stuff out.

[darrell74]

Some heavy Underdog starting pitchers to possibly stream
Miami Jose Urena is a hard thrower that's going against a Mets team that played late last night

Detroit Francisco Liriano
The tigers are feeling great while on their three-game winning streak thus probably able to give Liriano some run support
Liriano is a lefty and you might want to do some research to see how the Indians bat against lefties even though it's still early in the season
Of course they are going to get Corey kluber but the Indians are not giving him any run support

Kansas City Jakob junis
6 strikeouts last week on the road got the win even though Kansas City has very little offense

Pittsburgh's Ivan Nova
Another dog with potential that have a huge bite
If you see the line on the total moving lower and lower then Nova might benefit from the wind blowing in from the Outfield

[darrell74]

Philadelphia Phillies Michael Franco third baseman
He got 10 of 11 RBIs this weekend against poor Marlin pitching
Looks flukey
But if you're desperate for a 3B you better get him now because he's already 33% owned in fantasy leagues

[JAKEPEAVY21]

watch out for Joey Lucchesi on San Diego
he tore up the minor leagues with great numbers
he could be a nice low cost starting pitcher at times

[darrell74]

Worth a look to be a spot start tomorrow at Coors Field
If the Rockies are without Charlie Blackmon definitely a great spot start

[mpaschal34]

I had Sean Newcomb as a late round sleeper in a couple of leagues. After he got shelled in his first game I benched him heading into Coors Field. Of course he goes in and throws 6 innings of shut out ball with 9 K’s.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

not sure I like any pitcher at Coors but he might be dirt cheap.

[hotcross]

Just picked up Carlos Gonzalez and...

I think Car-Go just about done. Hit 7th in the home lineup tonight at Coors Field. He went 1 for 4 with a homerun, but if you didn't see the play, Padres outfielder Cory Spangeberg looked to make the catch at the left field wall but actually pushed the ball over the fence as it snow-coned out of his mitt....would've been a very good catch and he had it, but couldn't hold on.

Anyway Car-Go now sitting with a .250 batting average. Great fielder but lost his swagger at the plate.

looked like fan interference could have been called...

Cargo is definitely not the player that he once was.

Definitely you will get no argument from me on that

However Carlos Gonzalez remains worthy of streaming in rotisserie leagues
He's a top 30 outfielder
A cheap home run here and there then stream somebody else who has a matchup you could exploit

ended up taking Lucchesi on the cheap in a Draftkings lineup today...risky but allows me to take all stud hitters.

[darrell74]

Oakland starting pitcher Sean manaea
Already 2/3 owned but if you can get him get because the Dodgers have a very weak offense still

If you like five strikeouts
Tyler Skaggs of Anaheim will definitely get you five strikeouts as he has in his previous two and and the Texas Rangers will provide that

[mpaschal34]

I own a lot of shares of manaea in my leagues....so I would heed caution.

Colorado lost for the second night in a row at home to San Diego.

Car-Go didn't even start against the lefty on the mound. That's the thing, he's got severe splits against LHP (terrible) vs RHP (.300+ avg)....so play him against RHP is the key. He did get in for a pinch-hit in the 8th inning but grounded out.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

watch out for Joey Lucchesi on San Diego
he tore up the minor leagues with great numbers
he could be a nice low cost starting pitcher at times

Lucchesi gets his first win in the big leagues, at Coors Field no less...

6IP, 4 hits, 0 ER, 1 BB, 8 Ks

this kid is going to be pretty good...served me well in daily fantasy yesterday

Good find

For today's spot start
Pittsburgh Pirates Steven brault
Pittsburgh Pirates do nothing but win even though this is supposed to be a rebuild

[darrell74]

Nick Pivetta Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher
9 strikeouts last start vs Miami Marlins
Today goes against a suspect Cincinnati Reds offense

[mpaschal34]

i rolled with the kid (j.garcia) from miami today in 3 leagues. too bad the bullpen blew the game for him.

tough beat
Sweeps in baseball are usually hard to do
This year seems to bathe exception, a lot of sweeps

[Underdog5229]

yeah for sure. hurts when the BP blows it for ya

[darrell74]

Kansas City Royals Ian Kennedy
SP
Would be the spot start of the day however I'd be cautious cuz the Anaheim Angels bats have been pretty hot lately

[hotcross]

^^^Angels gotta cool down at some point, but looks like decent hitting weather in KC for tonight. On the other hand, the Angels hitters don't have very good Head to Head numbers vs Kennedy in previous meetings, other than Zack Cozart has done well....but that might have been for games played in Cincy.

[hotcross]

Kansas City Royals Ian Kennedy
SP
Would be the spot start of the day however I'd be cautious cuz the Anaheim Angels bats have been pretty hot lately

Kennedy was ok, gave up 7 hits and 1 run in 6 innings. But Tropeano kept the Royals off-balance. I didn't see that coming.

[darrell74]

Joe Mauer Minnesota Twins first baseman
Less than 25% owned but he still hits over 400
He has no power and he won't get you stolen bases

[hotcross]

are you doing a Season-long league, where you can slot in certain players on a given day and choose other days to keep them on your bench?
