CheeseIsGood's Million Dollar Musings: Sunday, August 22nd
Happy Sunday! Cards is off today, so you’re stuck with me for today. I am not used to getting up this early on Sunday (poor me!), so I’m going to try and be short and to the point here to get this out in enough time to be useful for the early Sunday start.
The original 10-game slate starts with nine after the postponement in New York. I’m also going with the assumption that the game in Boston ends up postponed, leaving us with an 8-game main slate, and that’s what we’ll look at here. There’s some chance the Braves-Orioles game ends up scrapped as well, but for now, I’m including that one.
Sunday Pitching
We have an ace-less slate without a single starter over 25% strikeouts, with the exception of Reynaldo Lopez who has thrown just 25 innings mostly out of the bullpen. The good news in this is that there is no one over $10K on either DK or FD, so we should be able to play mostly whoever we want.
