Tonight should be a night of fireworks. One, because we will witness one of the more exciting NBA Drafts in recent history this evening, (shameless plug for our NBA content for you hoop heads and feel free to drop a dime in the comment section below giving us your thoughts on tonight’s draft. Do the Cavs avoid running the risk of another Anthony Bennett blunder with the 1st overall pick by trading it off to say the Celtics? Where does Joel Embiid land? Who you hoping lands with what team? Sleepers, Busts, whatever we are interested). And Secondly, and more importantly for our daily baseball bankroll, because we have favorable hitting matchups among the top two NL scoring teams in the Rockies and Brewers in hitter friendly Miller Park, along with two of the top five scoring offenses in the AL in the Blue Jays and White Sox set to tee off in the top home run producing park in the AL since 2013 in the Rogers Centre, and if those two games do not provide enough potential to see some dongs we also have heartthrob Rick Porcello and his 5.47 ERA in five games versus Texas over the past three seasons accompanying his Tigers team (who own the top team OPS in June 40-plus points higher than the next closest team) into hitter friendly Rangers Ballpark tonight versus Rangers starter Nick Martinez and his 6.38 home ERA with five home runs allowed in just 18.1 innings pitched in RBP, which should have y’all killing the club Young Jeezy style chanting “R.I.P.”  at your comp. if we again knock it out of the park with our hitter recommendations like we did on Tuesday...mic drop...time to pop off these DFS Playbook picks for ya’.
