Want to take on the Creativesports 2.0 staff, braino-y-braino, at DFS?
Well, you can indeed at RealTime Sports, matching up against my Creativesports 2.0 mates and me, and get some bragging rights in the process.
Tune in here daily, as we pick up the Creativesports 2.0 gauntlet where you can play our daily 50/50 game ($5) or come right after us — for we will rotate experts — on Fridays in the free Beat the Experts contest. Beat us and you can win $2, and that might be easier than you think!
There are indeed some solid pitching match-ups with both Alex Wood and Mike Minor–hittable lefties–facing the Mets and Twins respectively, both of whom are terrible when facing Southpaws.
And, again the weather in the midwest–Cincy and Cleveland are impacted–might be hot and muggy, but that could portend some showers so make sure and check your rosters at game time.
Sean Newcomb ($4800): The O’s are batting .234 against lefties and Newcomb has only given up five HRs this season and the O’s are a team that lives or dies by the HR (they are dying right now). The Braves starter has a 2.70 ERA overall but a 3.07 ERA at home which makes sense since the Braves stadium is very hitter friendly. Still, only one HR given up at home.
Ian Desmond ($4200): Picking on poor Wei-Yin Chen in Colorado. The former Nat is battng .391 and 3 homers last seven games – .300 and 8 HRs against lefties. And, it’s Coors field.
