Wednesday, May 15th

Happy Wednesday, MLB crew! We have a wonky slate today with games starting at all different times throughout the day. The Orioles and Yankees are playing a double-header, there’s one random 1:00 start, there are three starts at 3:30, there’s an early evening game, and then an eight game main slate.

The sites have broken down the slates a little differently this afternoon, with FanDuel offering the 1:00 and 3:30 starts as a four game early slate. DraftKings is offering the lone 1:00 start as a showdown slate with a three game early slate at 3:30. The early slate isn’t all that appealing, but I’ll provide a brief breakdown for you before spending more time on the main evening slate. Let’s get after it!
