DAT 3/30: Red Sox (Suarez) @ Astros (LMJ) 7:10

Suarez likely on a limited pitch count as he’s still building up after the WBC left him behind schedule according to Alex Cora. I’m thinking it’s going to be a 4-3 type of game.

Which of course since I said that there will probably be offensive records set

I’m a Red Sox fan and will be shocked if they score 43 in total by the end of May

I subscribe to this guys Patreon “Imaginary Brick Wall” who posts fantastic stuff for dynasty fantasy baseball leagues, so naturally a ton of his content is about prospects

I went back and read his last few years prediction lists and it’s kinda scary how good he is at nailing prospects (Of course like anyone else he has some misses)



Anyways, in this years “Predicting the 2027 Top 50 Dynasty Baseball Prospect Rankings” he had this to say…

22) Kevin Alvarez – HOU, OF, 19.2 – Alvarez will be the Edward Florentino of 2026. We are already seeing him hit bombs on the backfields this spring. He will destroy stateside rookie ball with a 154 wRC+ in 30 games before getting the call to Single-A where he'll put up a 129 wRC+ in 50 games. He won't show as much power as Florentino, but the plate skills will be precocious, and there is still plenty of room on his frame for the scouts to droll over the projection. The power will explode in 2027. He'll be a favorite for #1 prospect in the game in 2028

Credit to barista boy. His spin rate looked great that first inning

He is certainly feeling himself.

I didn't have LMJ having the best inning for a starter in the 5th game

Yedrick!
