    Analysis

    DraftKings. Sandy Alcantara fell one strikeout short of cashing out for us on opening day, but I’m coming back to him against the White Sox. Sandy registered a 30% called plus swinging strike rate against the Rockies, which I’d gladly take again. The White Sox have the third highest CSW% on the young season, and are likely to trot out a weaker lineup for a getaway travel day game, ending their road trip.

    Picked: Apr 1 @ 11:26am

    Analysis

    It's a getaway game for both and a few regulars on each side are out. The White Sox's lineup in spots 5-9 look like an easy 10 outs the first two times through for Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara. He looked in his previous Cy Young form in the opener with seven shutout innings of Colorado. The game total is only 7.5 so this seems like it should be 4 and indeed most of our books have that. Surprisingly, the first two games of this series with punchless lineups saw double-digit runs scored. I think they will regress to the mean this afternoon.

    Analysis

    Paul Skenes on Wednesday for the Bucs, so we get why they are favored as his career numbers against Cincinnati are insane. But the Reds' Andrew Abbott is pretty darn good himself ,and his career numbers vs. Pittsburgh are quite good too. Still prefer that Cincy lineup slightly and at home so one-run loss works just fine. Too good of a price at +1.5 to turn down.

    Analysis

    Trevor Rogers was a dynamo at Camden Yards last season, going 4-1 with a 0.96 ERA in seven starts. He went at least six innings in 6 of 7 home starts and went seven innings on Opening Day vs. Minnesota. With Baltimore looking to avoid the sweep against the Rangers, expect Rogers to go deeper into the game and give his team another quality start.

    Picked: Apr 1 @ 11:35am

    Analysis

    I'm taking a shot with Gunnar Henderson over 1.5 total bases Wednesday at plus money. Henderson has had success against Nathan Eovaldi with seven hits in 10 career at-bats. He's recorded seven total bases in his last two games and with the wind blowing out at Camden Yards today, I like Henderson's chances to go over this total.
