Wednesday, May 22nd

Good day, Grinders! We have the usual split slate Wednesday on tap today, and there are actually 16 games scheduled after the Royals/Cardinals game got rained out last night. They will play a double-header today. There are five day games and 11 night games on the slate, but all the major sites are excluding the late afternoon Diamondbacks/Padres game from the early docket. FanDuel is the only site that is including Game 2 of the KC/STL double-header on their main slate, so you will have either 10 or 11 games on that slate depending on what site you are playing on.

Let’s start, as usual, with a look at the early slate!

AFTERNOON SLATE BREAKDOWN

I am just going to break this down on a game-by-game basis since we have just four games to analyze.
