When last we spoke, I was recommending a risky Astros stack against James Paxton while rolling with Scott Feldman against Paxton’s Mariners. Sometimes stacking a team like Houston with a $5,700 starting pitcher works out great. Other times it doesn’t. On Thursday, it didn’t. Feldman and Alfredo Simon both flopped, and only one batter (Jose Altuve) topped 5.00 points. Bad days are going to happen. Let’s try to avoid it with today’s picks, which I actually really like.
Weather-wise, there’s upwards of an 85% chance of rain/thunderstorms by the late evening for the ARI@COL game, but that doesn’t really stop me from picking the batters in that game (you weren’t taking the pitchers).
