I decided to do a showdown line up tonight between the Indians and the Cubs. I like the match ups in this game, particularly on the Cubs side. They face young Adam Plutko tonight who despite posting impressive numbers, struggles with command.
Here is my flex line up and how I spent my 50K on Draft Kings.
Line-Up
Michael Brantley, OF, Indians ($8,500)
Will Contreras, C, Cubs ($8,100)
Jose Ramirez, 3B, Indians ($9,900)
Anthony Rizzo, 1B, Cubs ($8,900)
Kyle Schwarber, OF, Cubs ($7,700)
Brandon Morrow, P, Cubs ($2,400)
Total Spent: $45,500
Line Up Thinking:Â I went all offense with my picks for two reasons. One: I thought Cubs starter Jon Lester was too expensive at $15,100. Two: I feel that Indians starter Adam Plutko will get hit around. Cleveland won game one 10-1 last night so the Cubs will be looking to bounce back tonight and I like their line up against the young starter.
The Cubs have been a tough team to figure out offensively. Between a constantly changing line up and guys getting off to slow starts, Chicago has struggled to score runs.
I think they will produce tonight. I am counting on it!
