CheeseIsGood's Million Dollar Musings: Monday, August 23rd
Happy Monday! We’ve got just six games on the schedule tonight, with every one of them opening at either 8.5-9 projected runs. The only two upside pitchers are facing good offenses, while the weaker offenses are generally facing weaker pitchers. It’s all leading to a spread-out jumble where everything is extremely close. Let’s see if we can find any dividing lines somewhere on this slate.
Monday Night Pitching
This is one of those slates where I can make a case for every single pitcher and every single offense. Salary does very little to help anything, although it will play at least a little bit of a role for DK SP2. This is how I’ve got the 12 pitchers separated.
