Not a bad board for Wednesday’s full slate. Plenty of options across the various formats. I’m sure some of the 2- and 1-x guys will pop off, but identifying exactly who is tough. Bradford, for example, could deal but I’m not dying to take the shot at ARI.

Very few bankable options on this week’s 2-start board making it a scary venture as we come down the stretch.
If you have questions about anyone else, leave me a comment!

I’m putting this together pretty early on Sunday because I’m watching my niece and won’t be on the computer as much for Sunday afternoon/evening. If something does change, don’t hesitate to let me know if the comments and I’ll give my thoughts on the new guy. It’s a brutal board to start the week after Skenes so be very careful out there!

2-START FOR WEEK 21

Solid board for Friday with plenty of opportunities at every level. As always, there is risk which is heightened in September as we have less time to undo a dud, but we can’t just sit on our hands being afraid of a dud if we are chasing points in the standings. Speaking of risk, I just don’t see myself starting Luis Gil anywhere right now. He’s fresh off the IL and hasn’t been pitching that well for some time. I’m very thankful for what he gave us this season and I’ll happily revisit in 2025, but I’m OK cutting him for the remainder of 2024.
Let me know if you have questions about anyone else.

TOP 10 ROOKIE HITTERS BY PA

Drop a comment if you have a question about any of the pitchers. It’s a relatively straightforward board with a good number of 3-x’s and then some Hail Mary 1-x’s.
An earlier version accidentally had Suárez facing TOR with just a 2-x reco. With his proper matchup at MIA loaded in, I moved him to the 3-x group.
Thanks for coming out, here’s the transcript!
| 1:07 |
: Hello everyone, thanks for coming out! |
| 1:07 |
: Tell me about Lawrence Butler. Top ___ hitter next year? |
| 1:07 |
: 150? I’m excited, but don’t wanna get drunk on hype |
| 1:09 |
: Keep one for next year – Bichette, Sandy Alcantara, Springs, Woo, Gausman. |
| 1:13 |
: I’m inclined to run with Woo there. Sandy is out bc he’s returning from TJ, even if we agree Bichette is better than his 2024 washout, I’m still not sure he ever nabs 20+ SBs again, and then w/Woo-Springs-Gausman, i just prefer Woo the most there even w/some of the health issues he has experienced so far |
| 1:18 |
: Do we know why Masyn Winn has kind of stopped running midseason? Is this injury related? |
