There are plenty of good pitchers today, although two of our top five starters (Jacob deGrom and Julio Teheran) are going head-to-head. Still, you shouldn’t have a problem finding a good option regardless of your DFS strategy. You can pay up for Madison Bumgarner or Jacob deGrom or you can go a little cheaper with Gio Gonzalez or Carlos Carrasco. There are a few guys FanDuel and DraftKings disagree on, namely Teheran ($12,600 on DK; $8,800 on FD) and Kenta Maeda ($10,800 on DK; $8,600 on FD)....

Today’s 11-game schedule features only three afternoon games, but one of our favorite values (A.J. Griffin) is set to start during the early slate. If you’re looking for more sleepers for the evening contests, you can try Wei-Yin Chen (matchup), Taijuan Walker (likely low ownership, strikeout potential) and Mike Leake (win potential).

There are some big names on the mound today, but be careful where you spend your money. Some of those aces haven’t been hitting value and others are in tough matchups.

There are plenty of good pitchers in action tonight, including premium aces Clayton Kershaw, Madison Bumgarner and Chris Sale. Perhaps even more noteworthy is that there are nine lefthanded pitchers on the mound, so be sure to do your homework on lefty-righty splits to find sleepers and avoid busts. With so many great arms starting, I’m not all that worried about ownership percentages. I am leaning toward Zack Greinke and Sale since they have a better chance at a win than Kershaw or Bumgarner, but I wouldn’t have a problem with any of these guys really....

Is There a Link? Not all experts and studies agree that milk is involved in acne, though, and not everyone who drinks a lot of milk breaks out in pimples, of course. Some evidence shows that milk causes acne while other studies suggest people who drink more milk tend to have worse acne. Those are associations, though, and not proof. A meta-analysis of prior studies published in 2019 concluded that total dairy consumption and total milk consumption both were related to the occurrence of acne....

(I’m sorry.) With Dallas Keuchel on the shelf for another 10 days with more neck issues, the path for Houston should be clear: The Astros need to make a move for another starting pitcher. Houston has rocketed off to a fantastic start with a 42-18 mark. A lot of that has been due to the starting pitching and the return of Keuchel to Cy Young form. MORE: The 10 greatest Astros of all time...

The NBA season has been suspended since March 11, when Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert became the first player to test positive for COVID-19.
