The Red Sox have surged in recent weeks, improving their record to 27-23.
However, it seems to be in no thanks to the leadoff guy Andrew Benintendi.
Note: This is for the main slate of 10 games starting at 1:00 PM EST.
This is the first time this season that the Red Sox look like the Red Sox. After the start-to-finish dominance of last years team, it was very discouraging for Red Sox fans to watch their team get off to a slow start. Especially after the World Series run they had last season.
The Boston Red Sox starting pitcher problems have clearly faded away since their horrific start in April, with Chris Sale
The baseball season is a grind. It’s every single day. We will approach DFS the same way and be winners at the end of the season even if we have our hot streaks and slumps. Every day there are safe bets that flop and values that hit big, but we need to stick with our strategy in evaluating and playing. Let’s take a look at what we have today.
Mondays after a holiday weekend can be brutal. If you had as much fun as I did, I probably don’t have to tell you that. Making money can make anyone feel slightly better. Let’s dive into the options for today with some lineup locks, value, and stacks.
Trevor Richards may have a 5.0 BB/9, but he is currently sporting a 14.7% swinging strike rate (10th in MLB) and a 32.4% o-swing (29th in MLB), which is well above the league average of 29.3%. He also has a 68.2% contact rate, which is the 9th lowest in the league and has yielded 11, 13 and 18 swinging strikes in his last 3 starts. Opposing batters are currently hitting .088 against his changeup, which has resulted in a 23.3% swinging strike rate. Pair this with 2 struggling offenses in the Chicago Cubs and Washington Nationals, paired with a home pitchers park, Trevor Richards should be in for a solid Week 3.
The Red Sox haven’t had a pitcher start back-to-back Opening Days since Jon Lester in 2013 and 2014.
What can I say about this Red Sox team? They won the World Series. The level at which they played was insane. As a Yankees fan, I’m well aware that no lead was safe when it came to the Red Sox last year, they could always pull something out of their hat. When it comes to wins for this season, the Red Sox and Yankees have the highest projected win totals at 95.5. You just know it’s going to be a battle all season long.
In two years since being traded to the Boston Red Sox, something has been missing from the Chris Sale experience.
With the position players all set, it’s now time to move onto the pitchers. Our analysts began with the starting
Although they couldn’t reel in David Robertson, the New York Yankees essentially got the next best thing in Adam Ottavino.
