Things that stand out to me:
Last 2 week hitting data is Here.
Wind is blowing out 10+ MPH in Wrigley, click HERE for about wind in Wrigley.
Seattle was quick to pull Dunn last time out but his SIERA and xFIP just keep going up....do we see the wheels fall off tonight?
John Gant is going to get blown up soon....not sure if I would trust this Pirates team to do it but the day is coming.
With Stanton out of the lineup if you can avoid getting blown up by loit,judge the NYY roster is a gold mine to go up against for GPP pitchers.
Bets

CHC/WAS - (WATCH FOR WEATHER) Game is projecting to not have much ownership at all and I think that Wind in Wrigley is consistently overlooked. Patrick Corbin has been all over the place this year, he had a great outing last time out but we all can remember the games he got blown up in. Patrick gives up a lot of HRs and that’s what we are looking for in DFS he also give up a lot more power to RHHs so focus (Contreras, Bryant, Baez). Zach Davies has a 5.63 SIERA compared to his 3.86 ERA this last month so he is due for some negative regression and is more prone to give up powers to LHH this year I would focus (Soto, Zimmerman, Gomes, Bell).
Pitching:
Chalk/Cash:
Blake Snell
Zach Wheeler
Andrew Heaney
GPP:
Brandon Woodruff - He will have a decent amount of ownership but given KC's last 2 week hitting stats he might have more upside than people are giving him right now....i'll always play Woodruff at a ownership discount.
Corbin Martin - Has 9K's in 5 innings in his first MLB game back in 2019 so none of this new ball stuff yet, hes min price for a pitcher. Did have controll issues in later games but a viable punt option imo.
