Friday, August 10th
Happy Friday! We have a big 14-game slate that is very well spread out with both pitching and hitting options. There are a ton of viable pitchers, with a couple of groupings that are very difficult to separate. I’ll talk through my preferred spots on both sides, but this is one of those nights where a similar case can be made for almost everything, so don’t be concerned if your research leads you another way.
At first glance, I’m seeing a lot more one off power than full stacks with the bats, but the salaries may end up forcing some stacks unless going very cheap at pitcher. Let’s jump into these pitchers and see what we see.FRIDAY NIGHT PITCHING
