Friday brings us our first full day of the season and an eleven game evening slate in which to dive. We obviously won’t note Vegas totals as much in baseball as we do basketball; however, there are two double-digit totals tonight with A’s/Rangers and Indians/Diamondbacks. The highest team run total is the Indians facing off against Shelby Miller in the desert. A lot of mid-tier pitching options in the Consensus today. Hopefully, we can find the right ones to cash in with. According to Brad’s On the Hill article today, Liriano and Fiers would be two of those mid-tier options to target.
