This article is designed to be a quick-access look at some pivotal stats and matchups for the specified daily slate, with FanDuel and DraftKings prices included. All batters are projected starters and should be confirmed in the lineup before finalizing your rosters. In some instances players do not have sufficient at-bats or innings pitched, therefore a column will be left blank.

Here is a legend of the sortable columns provided:

wOBA – Batter’s two-year wOBA vs. handedness of Pitcher
ISO – Batter’s two-year ISO vs handedness of Pitcher
P wOBA – Pitcher’s two-year wOBA vs handedness of this Batter
P xFIP- Pitcher’s two-year xFIP vs handedness of this Batter
P HR/9 – Pitcher’s two-year Home Run per 9 inning rate
Park HR Rate – 1-60 rank of home runs allowed to that handedness of the batter over last five years (1 being best, 60 being worst for hitters)

My thought process today when I look at this slate is simple; if playing cash games, you are going to want these stud pitchers on your team. There are some of the top aces in baseball pitching tonight, so finding some value with your bats is imperative. I think the guys listed above and others like them are good options if going cheap on hitting.
