In this age of technology, sometimes its good to look back on a forgotten pastime. There was a time when we all believed in the unknown. A time when we believed in that which was unbelievable. A time when some well dressed yet ominous looking man would grab an impeccably dressed lady from the audience and tell you there was nothing up his sleeve while he sawed said beauty in half. All the while, the audience gasped only to have their fears assuaged as he puts her back together with the house band playing a resounding 'tada!' via horns and drums. Maybe you never got a chance to believe in those things so for that reason, I'm here today to bring that little sense of illusion and wonder into your life. Please be seated. Are you ready? Please examine my right hand. Notice there's nothing in it? Ok, please examine
Patrick Corbin's left hand. Notice a baseball in it? I'm going to show you how with that left hand and a baseball, Corbin is going to make the Cards disappear. Now normally a magician doesn't reveal how his magic is done but since I like all three of you that read this, I'm gonna let you in on the secret: the Cardinals are terrible against lefties this year and it was a problem last year as well. Look, the sample size for 2016 has been small to say the least - they only have the 19th most PAs against them so far this year - but when Jon Niese K's seven of you while only walking one, you have a southpaw problem in my book. After finishing basically second in K% in 2015 at 23.6% vs the wrong hand and now sitting at 27% for this season so far, I'm gonna have plenty of Corbin exposure for tourneys and enjoy the likely low ownership. And with that, my magic show is done. Oh wait, you want an encore? Well I've been working on this ping pong ball trick I learned from Winona Ryder...well actually, that's part of another old pastime called the burlesque show and I'm sorry, kiddos, that ain't free. But you know what is? The rest of my picks. So with that, we're off. Here's my pyrotechnic extravaganza magic show hot taeks for this Wednesday DK slate...
