MAIN SLATE PITCHING
It’s a big group of quality pitchers tonight all at a very similar price point:
Noah Syndergaard vs Giants
Walker Buehler vs Cardinals
Carlos Carrasco at Red Sox
Jack Flaherty at Dodgers
Stephen Strasburg vs Phillies
The couple of things that standout right away here are the tough matchups for Carrasco and Flaherty and that Strasburg is coming off the DL after missing a month of action and not making a rehab start. All three of these guys are just deeper tournament only options tonight. If Strasburg were at full health, he would stand out at this salary, but it’s hard to imagine they would be pushing him too far tonight, and the Phillies are a patient enough offense that they could get that pitch count up fairly quickly.
