CheeseIsGood's Million Dollar Musings: Wednesday, April 7th
Good morning and Happy Wednesday! We’ve got an early day today with a 10-game main slate starting at 1:10 ET. That doesn’t leave time for much nonsense and I want to put out this info as early as possible so you can get to work on those lineups. I will be on Crunchtime at 12:25pm ET so if you have any questions about the slate, we can touch on them there. There are a lot of good pitchers on this slate, so let’s get right into it.
WEDNESDAY PITCHING
I can easily make a case for at least 15 different pitchers on this slate. This means that you should be the least bit concerned if your favorite pitchers end up different than mine or different than the projected ownership. I’m going to start by sorting into buckets and then I’ll give you my Cliff Noted thoughts on each group.
