Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Chicago Cubs MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Diamondbacks at Cubs 2:20 PM ET— Merrill Kelly will start for Arizona. Kelly, in three starts carries an ERA of 9.20 with WHIP of 2.25. The right hander strikes out 12.2% with 16.2% walks. Ground balls served at 34.6% with 3.07 home runs per nine innings. Matthew Boyd makes the start for Chicago. Boyd started four games with an ERA of 7.00 and WHIP of 1.44. The left hander fans 33.3% with 6.4% walks. Grounders are 42.6% with limited home run damage. A FIP of 1.80.

Munetaka Murakami is the biggest sell high of the fantasy baseball season so far, and Joe Bond and Corey Pieper both agree you should be moving him right now for legitimate top-tier talent before the league figures out how to pitch to him. On the waiver wire add side, AJ Applegarth and Joe run through Nolan Arenado, Cole Young, Moises Ballesteros, JR Ritchie, Chase Dollander, Foster Griffin, and Spencer Arrighetti. AJ was skeptical on Arenado while Joe and Corey are riding the hot bat, and Dollander gets the strongest endorsement of the group despite sitting at just 46% rostership. Jarren Duran is the rage drop of the week, with Joe keeping him for now but benching him in every league — Corey and Joe went deep on why he simply cannot be started right now despite the massive upside. Also on the drop list: Luis Castillo, Giancarlo Stanton, and Eugenio Suarez. Rankings risers this week include Mike Trout, Randy Arozarena, Josh Jung, Jose Soriano, Nolan McLean, Bryan Baker, and Louie Varland. Falling down the board: Jarren Duran, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Rafael Devers, Devin Williams, Aaron Nola, Salvador Perez, and Logan Gilbert. Corey leads the buy low and sell high segment. Buy low targets are Ketel Marte, Freddie Freeman, and Matthew Boyd — all three have strong underlying numbers that do not match their surface stats. The sell highs are JJ Wetherholt, Mickey Moniak, and Murakami, with Joe and Corey both making the case that Murakami hype is at its peak and you can flip him for serious value right now.
