Sometimes it is hard to go for the highest price pitcher of the day. Today, the highest price is $13K for Madison Bumgarner, and we don’t even get to use his hitting stats. However, on a day against the weak offense of the rivals across the bay, there is no reason to avoid the big horse tonight. He is as safe as they come, with no doubts in my mind about his ability to give you at least seven strong innings with a win. Oftentimes, picking a pitcher like this leads to “weaker” hitters; on any given day, those weaker hitters can outperform the best of them. Given that MadBum is the safest, lowest risk guy on the board, having to take a few chances on hitters is totally worth the price.

Wei-Yin Chen, SP: $6,900 – I’ve always thought of this guy as underrated, and when you get to face Atlanta, sometimes not much more thought is needed.
Willson Contreras, C: $3,600 – When a guy is as hot as Willson Contreras, you sit back and take his guaranteed points.
Victor Martinez, 1B: $3,400 – Most people don’t realize the caliber of season V-Mart is putting up, and apparently on this day that includes the pricers over at DraftKings.
Kolten Wong, 2B: $3,100 – Make sure he’s playing, but he has figured some things out since he was sent down and then called back up. The talent is there for a big day no matter where he may start defensively.
Javier Baez, 3B/SS: $3,500 – He gets a matchup against a left hander, and his extra innings Grand Salami on Tuesday should have instilled some more confidence in him.
Taylor Motter, SS/OF: 3,200 – Look up Taylor Motter on Google. Click on images. Admire his hair. Place him in your DraftKings’ lineup solely because you admire his hair. Realize you wish you had his hair. Take him out of your lineup out of jealousy. Realize you want that hair because it has super powers. Place him right back in your lineup.
Adam Duvall, OF: $4,200 – This guy has been eating the right kind of cereal in the morning. I wonder what kind that might be… Probably some local brand called Dropping Bombs of Oats or something…
Nelson Cruz, OF: $4,000 – Nelson Cruz just goes about his business of getting points and being underrated. Don’t you dare underrate Nellie.
Giancarlo Stanton, OF: $4,500 – Signs of a pulse exist, like a 435 foot laser beam of a home run in Comerica on Tuesday. You know his price will rise soon enough, use him while you can.
I’m Only Happy When it Rains
Watch out for rain in the A.T.L. We wouldn’t want to miss out on our boy Wei-Yin from dominating the Braves, or from Giancarlo Stanton reaching new reaches of Turner Field in its final year of MLB use.
Doing Lines in Vegas
There are three games that find an over/under of 8.5, those being CIN-WSH, CLE-TOR, and KC-STL. That’s not even that huge a number, so it’s looking like a gut feeling kind of night… Well along with my picks anyways.
That’s all for today. Do your anti-rain dance if you live in Atlanta… If you don’t, fly there and then do the dance.
