There was a time when Mike Myers was funny. I know, weird thought, right? Not sure what happened to him. The Love Guru was an unmitigated disaster and everyone hangs the end of him on that but really, think about it. How many times can you do a Scottish accent as a big part of your career and get away with it? Myers proved there was a threshold for his antics because as we all know, we didn't watch him for his acting chops (though I give props for his role in 54; definitely wasn't playing a Myers character you've seen before there). In the end, there's absolutely zero tie in here and I'm tired of talking about Mike so I'm segueing: Derek Holland! He's a good pitcher. Isn't that weird? Ok, not really. He's shown flashes in the past but after his complete game shut out against Baltimore with 11 Ks, I picked him up in all season long leagues where he was available for this upcoming start. The Angels on the year haven't struck out a lot against LHP but they have shown to be inept, posting a weak 88 wRC+ for the year and when you combine that with their trailing 30, 14, and 7 day wRC+, you could catch a dead team walking. At his $7,200 price tag, I'm hoping for 6+ innings, minimal on base damage and 7 K with room for upside. So come visit Holland with me won't you? I'll even buy you a bong and a blintz. But enough about my odd breakfast habits, let's move on. Here's my unfortunate smelting accident hot takes for this Saturday DK slate...
