Looks like the Mets F5 will fail and I don't feel like being underwater today, even if only slightly, so let's throw a half-unit on this. Don't consider it a chase as I'm gonna watch it (with the hockey) and want a rooting interest. Kinda interesting the Giants have a much better record, are home and a starting pitcher with better numbers yet decent dogs. Braves No. 1 catcher Drake Baldwin (.310, 7 HR) is sitting. Solid price at +1.5.

FanDuel. We’re getting a low line on Hayden Birdsong’s fourth start. The second year righty has supplanted Jordan Hicks in the rotation, and has cleared this line in each of his last two starts. Overall, he’s registered 128 strikeouts in a 110 major league innings. He’s built up to a full workload, and gets a matchup against the Braves, whose bats have cooled off over the last two weeks.

Spencer Schwellenbach has had his fair share of home run struggles against left handed batters but these lefties in the Giants order don't scare me very much. They've DFA'd Lamonte Wade Jr and shuffled the order to now have five right handed batters and four lefties. Righties is where Schwellenbach makes his money, with a 30% strikeout rate and sparkling underlying metrics. After the bullpen debacle yesterday for the Braves, and with the Braves righty working deep into games regularly, I think he will be given every opportunity to do that again and extra opportunities against these righties could prove huge.
