The weather really drowned the Los Angeles Dodgers stacks going ham for a third straight day. I couldn’t jump off them knowing that a delay was possible.
But we move along and focus on today’s 7-game slate and keep tabs on the last of the golf majors, which also kicked off early this morning. One of the best majors there is I tell you and I am glad it ends the leg of the four majors and not the PGA Championship.
Anyway, we only have 7 games, nothing in Coors, Boston, New York, Texas, etc. So let’s get to it!

PITCHERS
Madison Bumgarner – vs. New York Mets – $9,000
Analysis: The Mets can be a scary team, but we get the benefit of the home ballpark for both Bumgarner and Thor (who I also like today). But Bumgarner comes in a little cheaper and has higher strikeout upside today against his opponent. The Mets are one of the best teams against lefties, but they strike out 22% of the time. Bumgarner has been elite against lefty bats, allowing only a .227 wOBA and striking them out 10.61 K/9. Against righties, he’s allowed a .336 wOBA (average numbers) and is striking out righties 8.93 K/9. I’ll take the heater the Giants are on and the home ballpark to get Maddy B a win and QS on FanDuel.
