Marc’s Picks for the RealTime 50/50 Challenge, August 11, 2018

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!

Checking in with Mother Nature, the weather looks good so far, but check before first pitch at 6:10.  We have a 14 game Saturday night slate.  Nice mix of pitching options with four on the high end and several mid-tier guys in good matchups.

Trevor Bauer ($7,000) seems to be the guy on the slate that you have to own.  It is very tough in a 50/50 to pass on a player who has scored 21 points in two of his past three games in a great matchup against a White Sox team who strikes out a lot.

Evan Gattis ($4,200) has owned Wade LeBlanc in a small 11 at bat sample.  Six hits are impressive, but three home runs draws me all in.

Yonder Alonso ($3,800), like Gattis, has three home runs in a small sample against gas can James Shields.  Both Gattis and Alonso are lower priced hitters allowing you to roster some of the upper end hitters (maybe a bat or two in Coors) or a second high-end pitcher.
