It’s a story that’s been told many times before and will be told many times to come. It’s the story of the Colorado Rockies and their travels throughout the land at sea level. I won’t bore you with the retelling but I will tell you about a young man named Vincent Velasquez. Double V (VV for short) is all of 23 and full of piss and vinegar. He was impressive enough in double A for the Astros to call him right up. There he was posting a handy 12.6 K/9 with a 1.37 ERA and sub 1 WHIP. Sure, it was double A and this is the bigs, but I was impressed by the kid’s composure in his debut and the Ks didn’t stop there (5 in 5 IP). The 4 walks aren’t great, obviously, but he was able to pitch himself out of trouble when he needed to. The price is right here as well. VV is priced barely above the slew of relief pitchers on DK at $5,500. Circling back to the oft told story of the Rockies on the road where they struggle oh so mightly and everything is coming up V. On the 5 game early slate, he pairs nicely with Scott Kazmir for a K-happy 1-2 punch that sounds like a winner to me. Fear not, on this rare split Tuesday I’ll provide a little something something for the early games as well as the night caps. It’s a nice day to throw together an early tournament lineup or two and maybe some H2H games and then parlay those early winnings into some night time buy-ins. It’s a full day of DFS fun for us junkies and I can’t wait to dive in.
