CheeseIsGood's Million Dollar Musings: Tuesday, June 22nd
Happy Tuesday! This slate is absolutely bonkers with pitching. I’m going to attempt to narrow down and organize all these arms as much as possible, but this is simply an incredibly strong slate where you can play 15-20 different pitchers and feel great about it. I’m just going to jump right in here and start talking through all these options.

Wow, just wow. What do we even do with all this? I’m going to start cutting as much as I can, but please be aware that I am cutting some elite upside pitchers that are absolutely playable on this or any slate. But we’ve got to narrow it down somewhere, so here we go.
