Wednesday, August 28th

Happy Wednesday, Grinders! I’m giving Cheese a well-deserved breather today, and hopefully we can make it a profitable one! The early slate offers just two games on DraftKings and three on FanDuel, so I will focus today’s article on the intriguing 11 game evening slate.

If you are playing the early slate, Jack Flaherty checks in as the elite pitching option given his recent run of incredible performances. Here are his splits before and after the All Star break:

1st half – 97 IP, 4.64 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, 9.93 K/9

2nd half – 49 1/3 IP, 0.73 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, 11.68 K/9

He’s becoming an ace, and the Cardinals are rolling right now.
