We’ll teach you how to fish.

Saturday, July 7th

Good day, Grinders! Welcome to another weekend edition of Covering the Bases! We have the usual full slate Saturday on tap today, and we are back to the scheduling ways that we saw for the majority of the month of June. There are 11 afternoon games and just four evening games on the docket today, so the slate is much more slanted toward the day games. FanDuel has chopped off the two early afternoon starts and is offering a nine game afternoon slate that starts at 4 PM Eastern. DraftKings and FantasyDraft are keeping the full eleven games on their afternoon slate. With two slates to break down, let’s dig in!

Early Slate Arms – Aces, Aces Everywhere

Holy cow, do we have some aces pitching this afternoon! It will be fun to try to figure out the best of the best here.
