@MrActionJunkie1 Plays for Tuesday (dropped in the newsletter)
Play 1: NRFI - Oakland at New York Yankees (-125)
- Good pitchers duel at Yankee Stadium with Marcus Stroman going for the Yankees and Paul Blackburn for the Athletics. Stroman has a 2.42 ERA on the season, career 3.63 ERA, Athletics rank 29th in runs scored per game, rank 29th in OPS vs. righties. Paul Blackburn gave up his first runs of the season last out against the Cardinals, 1.08 ERA, 1.00 WHIP after 25 innings of work. Yankee hitters have had some success against him, Blackburn has a career 4.64 ERA so things could go downhill quickly, but I'll take my chances in the 1st.
Play 2: NRFI - Toronto Blue Jays at Kansas City Royals (-125)
- Michael Wacha gets the call for KC. 3.32 ERA in 2022, 3.22 ERA in 2023, and a 3.75 ERA this year. My issue with Wacha, 8 runs allowed over 11 innings against teams other than the Chicago White Sox. Kevin Gausman found it again last out tossing 5 innings against the Yankees giving up 1 run on 4 hits. 8.16 ERA this year after 3 really good years. I still believe in Gausman, I almost played on the Blue Jays on the ML.
Play 3: NRFI - New York Mets at San Francisco Giants (-155)
- Ugly price. Logan Webb at home for San Francisco. Sign me up. Luis Severino for the Mets, 2.14 ERA on the season. 4 runs allowed over 16 innings pitched in April. Giants rank 14th in OPS vs. righties. Please no runs in the 1st.
@KotaCapperKyle Plays: TBD
