Tuesday Night Pitching

THREE ACES, SORT OF

aaron-nola-800x480

Aaron Nola vs Nationals
Framber Valdez vs Rangers
Patrick Corbin at Phillies

There is a big difference in pricing between the sites tonight as it relates to Framber Valdez. DK still has Valdez as a tier below Nola and Corbin, while FD has adjusted more to the 2020 stats, pricing Valdez up alongside these two, with Corbin being the cheapest of the three. Based on what these three pitchers have done so far in 2020, FD is on the right track here, while DK is a clear underpricing on Valdez. Whether or not you agree with that depends entirely on what you want to take from the smaller sample size numbers of Valdez vs the longer term numbers of Corbin. Let’s take a look at these three with 2020 only stats, next to 2019-202 combined
