Pitcher Grind Down
Eduardo Rodriguez : FD: $7,400 — DK: $7,400
Pitching Stats:
2014 – 2015: IP: 104.1 — SIERA: 4.21 — ERA: 4.05 — K%: 18.0% — BB%: 7.0% — HR/9: 1.0
Last 30 Days: IP: 31.0 — SIERA: 4.22 — ERA: 3.77 — K%: 14.1% — BB%: 3.7% — HR/9: 0.9
Baltimore Orioles Offense (2015)
vs. LH Pitching: wOBA: 0.295 (Rank: 24) — Strikeout Rate: 22.6% (Rank: 24)
Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.285 (Rank: 29) — Strikeout Rate: 25.6% (Rank: 28)
Pitches per PA: 3.81 (Rank: 17)
Analysis: Rodriguez has been in mediocre form recently, posting a 4.22 SIERA with a strikeout rate of only 14.1% over the last month of play. He draws a favorable strikeout matchup against the Orioles, but he is still a wildcard on the road. He should be restricted to tournament play.
Pitcher Rating: 54.8
Kevin Gausman : FD: $6,500 — DK: $4,600
Pitching Stats:
2014 – 2015: IP: 195.2 — SIERA: 3.99 — ERA: 4.00 — K%: 19.2% — BB%: 7.0% — HR/9: 1.0

Boston Red Sox Offense (2015)

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.329 (Rank: 14) — Strikeout Rate: 23.3% (Rank: 26)
Pitches per PA: 3.96 (Rank: 2)
Analysis: Gausman has been a good source of value over the last month of play, posting a 3.63 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 21.0%. The issue tonight is his matchup. On the season, the Red Sox are ranked seventh in team wOBA and second in strikeout rate against right-handed pitching.
Pitcher Rating: 58.1

Boston
The Red Sox are small underdogs in this game, but it does have a relatively high total of 8.5 runs. Red-hot David Ortiz remains an elite play even at his elevated price point.

The Orioles draw a mediocre matchup against Eduardo Rodriguez, who has had some serious reverse-splits in his rookie season. Chris Davis could be a nice tournament option tonight at home.

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.306 (Rank: 24) — Strikeout Rate: 25.5% (Rank: 27)
Pitches per PA: 3.73 (Rank: 27)
Analysis: Zimmermann has been in great form over the last month of play, posting a 3.26 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 24.6%. He draws a favorable matchup against the Phillies, who are ranked 28th in team wOBA and 18th in strikeout rate against right-handed pitching. He makes a great SP2 to pair with Clayton Kershaw on multi-pitcher sites.
Pitcher Rating: 88.1
Aaron Nola : FD: $6,500 — DK: $8,300
Pitching Stats:
2014 – 2015: IP: 53.2 — SIERA: 3.94 — ERA: 4.02 — K%: 19.9% — BB%: 6.3% — HR/9: 1.3

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.386 (Rank: 1) — Strikeout Rate: 20.7% (Rank: 20)
Pitches per PA: 3.79 (Rank: 19)
Analysis: Nola has had a nice rookie season, but his numbers don’t jump off the page. He owns a 3.94 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 19.9%. He should be avoided tonight against the Nationals, who have been one of the hottest offenses in baseball recently.
Pitcher Rating: 57.2
Batter Grind Down
Washington
The Nationals draw a decent matchup tonight against Aaron Nola in Citizens Bank Park. Bryce Harper (assuming he’s in the lineup) is an elite option in the outfield. Anthony Rendon is also on my radar as a cheap 2B/3B.

Edinson Volquez : FD: $8,300 — DK: $7,700
Pitching Stats:
2014 – 2015: IP: 361.0 — SIERA: 4.28 — ERA: 3.27 — K%: 17.6% — BB%: 8.6% — HR/9: 0.7

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.323 (Rank: 15) — Strikeout Rate: 16.8% (Rank: 5)
Pitches per PA: 3.90 (Rank: 3)
Analysis: Volquez is a pitcher that is rarely on anyone’s fantasy radar. While he isn’t a bad pitcher, he has a below-average strikeout rate and he lacks the upside that we are looking for from a pitcher. He can safely be avoided tonight against the Indians, who have the sixth-lowest strikeout rate against right-handed pitching this season.
Pitcher Rating: 53.6
Carlos Carrasco : FD: $9,800 — DK: $10,800

2014 – 2015: IP: 292.0 — SIERA: 2.72 — ERA: 3.08 — K%: 27.1% — BB%: 5.3% — HR/9: 0.7

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.353 (Rank: 6) — Strikeout Rate: 14.4% (Rank: 1)
Pitches per PA: 3.70 (Rank: 30)
Analysis: Carrasco has been in excellent for recently, posting a 2.57 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 31.3% over the last month of play. The issue tonight is his matchup. On the season, the Royals are ranked third in team wOBA and first in strikeout rate against right-handed pitching. Carrasco is still in play, but he is by no means a must-start with Clayton Kershaw on the mound.
Pitcher Rating: 87.8
Batter Grind Down
Kansas City
The Royals draw a very tough matchup against Carlos Carrasco, who has been tough on both left and right-handed hitters this season. Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas are both in play, but they are secondary options at their respective positions.

Cleveland
The Indians are small favorites tonight, but this game has a low total of 7.5 runs. Edinson Volquez has held both left and right-handed hitters under a .310 wOBA over the last two seasons. The Indians are secondary fantasy options here.

Analysis: Nicolino may have a 2.73 ERA over the last month of play, but don’t fall for those cheap tricks. During that same stretch, he owns a 5.33 SIERA with a low strikeout rate of 8.2%. He should be avoided in all league formats tonight against the red-hot Mets.

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.307 (Rank: 23) — Strikeout Rate: 16.4% (Rank: 3)
Pitches per PA: 3.72 (Rank: 29)
Analysis: Verrett has made 14 appearances this season, but only one as a starter. He did throw 93 pitches in that start though, so a pitch count isn’t likely going to be a big issue tonight. He is a large favorite tonight and he draws a nice matchup against the Marlins, who are ranked dead last in team wOBA against right-handed pitching. I won’t be using him on single-pitcher sites, but he is certainly a viable SP2 at that price point.
Pitcher Rating: 70.3
Batter Grind Down
Miami
The Marlins draw a difficult matchup against Logan Verrett and they have to face him in the pitcher-friendly Citi Field. They have one of the lowest team totals on the board for a reason.
Elite Plays:
NONE
Secondary Plays:
NONE
NY Mets
The Mets draw a favorable matchup against Justin Nicolino, who should experience some regression the rest of the seasons. The right-handed bats have the edge in this matchup, but I wouldn’t rule out a Mets’ stack with a few left-handed hitters.

Analysis: Sabathia has not been in good form recently, posting a 5.89 SIERA with a strikeout rate of only 11.8% over the last month of play. He should be avoided tonight against the Rays, who are ranked fifth in team wOBA and 19th in strikeout rate against left-handed pitching this season.

Pitches per PA: 3.89 (Rank: 4)
Analysis: Ramirez is a lot like Edinson Volquez in that the numbers aren’t bad, but they don’t jump off the page either. His low strikeout rate is more than enough to fade him on most nights and a matchup against the Yankees just seals the deal. On the season, New York is ranked third in team wOBA against right-handed pitching.
Pitcher Rating: 48.0
Batter Grind Down
NY Yankees
The Yankees draw a decent matchup tonight against Erasmo Ramirez, even though they have to face him in a pitcher-friendly ballpark. The right-handed hitters have the edge here, as Ramirez has given up a .353 wOBA to hitters from that side of the plate.

Tampa Bay
The Rays are one of my favorite offenses to target tonight. Not only do they get to face a left-handed pitcher, but they get to face the very hittable CC Sabathia, who has given up a .386 wOBA to right-handed hitters over the last two seasons.
