It is Tuesday, which means it is Dinger Tuesday for FanDuel users. Despite that, there are several pitchers in good spots around the league. Drew Rasmussen has gotten off to a great start this season; nearly as great as his team. With an 8-3 win over the Astros Monday night, the Rays improved to 20-3 and 14-0 at home. Rasmussen will get the ball for game two of their series against Houston.
The Philadelphia Phillies will spend their week battling a pair of playoff teams from the AL West. Tonight, they get the Seattle Mariners before a World Series rematch with the Houston Astros. Before they can think about avenging their loss to the Astros, first they have a tough assignment with Logan Gilbert on the mound.
Since Giancarlo Stanton went on the IL, the Yankees’ bats have gone cold. In their last eight games, they have scored two runs or fewer in six of them. Their struggles may continue against Twins’ starter Joe Ryan.
It could be a big night for us with 19 combined strikeouts from Rasmussen, Gilbert and Ryan.
