David Price has had an up and down early going this season as he has allowed five or more earned runs in three of his first six starts this season. Yet, his advanced numbers show the elite pitcher the Red Sox got as he sports a 2.70 SIERA and elite 30.6% strikeout rate. The Yankees are lefty heavy at the front of the order, which does bode well for Price, but he did just struggle last week in this same matchup. I would rather pay up for Kershaw, but Price is still a solid option.

Eovaldi comes into this game with a 24.4% strikeout rate and a solid SIERA of 3.26, which shows some bad luck has occurred in order for him to have his 5.46 ERA. He is not an option today against a solid Boston offense that had ten hits and six earned runs against him just last week.

Batter Grind Down

Boston

As slight favorites today, the Red Sox feature a projected team total of 3.90 against Eovaldi. Eovaldi has struggled so far this year, allowing a .411 wOBA to bats from the left side of the plate as well as allowing a .302 wOBA to right-handed bats. They are not the top offense to attack early, but do have some solid choices.

While Price has shut down left-handed bats (.246 wOBA), he has allowed a wOBA of .339 to righties so far this year. This Yankees team has the seventh lowest total on the board today and are slight underdogs, making them an offense we can stay away from during the day slate.

There is not a whole lot we need to say about Kershaw at this point. He comes into this game with a 32% strikeout rate, a 2.13 SIERA and is coming off a shutout, 14 K gem in his last start. The matchup is much tougher in the Blue Jays who were the best hitting team last year against lefties, but this is a special lefty. He is the top option of the day slate today if you can pay up for him.

Dickey has not been great so far this season as he comes into this game with a 4.63 SIERA (5.73 ERA). His low strikeout rate of 16.9% makes him an easy avoid against a capable Dodgers offense in Rogers Centre today.

Batter Grind Down

LA Dodgers

Dickey has struggled from both sides of the plate so far this year as he has allowed a wOBA of +.351 to both. This places a number of the Dodger bats in play today in hitter friendly Toronto as they feature a team total of 4.21, which is the fourth highest of the day slate.

While the Blue Jays bats did awake a bit two games ago, they now have to face arguably the best pitcher in baseball. Do not spend your salary dollars on them today as they feature the third lowest team total of the entire slate.

Griffin was shockingly good in Rogers Centre last Monday and will look to repeat the performance against another tough offense in Detroit. Most surprising in that game was his nine strikeouts, which raised his K rate to a decent 21.3%. His 4.16 SIERA shows some regression is in order, which could happen today against the Tigers who feature some solid bats in the front of their lineup today.

Pelfrey is not a fantasy option regardless of the matchup. He comes into this game with an awful 5.72 SIERA and ridiculously low strikeout rate of 9.8%. Avoid him in all formats, as he has no upside in this matchup against the Rangers who are slight favorites in a game with a total of nine runs today who are slight favorites in a game with a total of nine runs.

Texas

Pelfrey is attackable from both sides of the plate as he has allowed a wOBA of +.387 to righties and lefties. The Rangers feature the highest total of the entire day at 4.65, putting a number of their bats in play and a solid stack in all formats.

He gets a tough matchup against the Cardinals who are second in the league in runs scored per game.

Wainwright has had a very interesting start to the year as he has put up a 5.14 SIERA (6.68 ERA). He had a cupcake matchup on Monday against the Phillies, but still allowed three earned runs over six, while just striking out four. His salary is coming down to a point where we have to really think about playing him, especially on DK today, but the risk is obviously still there as he have not seen any signs of him turning it around. Avoid him today, unless you want to buy low.

Wainwright has really struggled this year, but has pitched very solid against this Pirates squad in recent seasons. Over the last three years, Waino has a 2.73 ERA in nine starts against this Pirates squad. Yet, they are a sneaky stack against Wainwright who has pitched poorly so far this year.

Gray should be very happy that he gets to have two starts in a row away from Coors. Gray has some upside when he gets away starts due to his 34.3% strikeout rate. His SIERA is also at a solid 2.33 after his three starts. For his price, he makes a decent GPP play, but does have a tough matchup against the Giants who are ranked 5th currently in team wOBA vs right-handed pitching.

Cueto burned a lot of people on Monday as he came off his best start of the season, only to get blown up against his former team for six earned runs in just five innings. Cueto should bounce back against the Rockies today, as he comes into this matchup with a 3.16 SIERA and 24.1% strikeout rate. Cueto makes for a solid option today as a big favorite against the Rockies and is ranked just behind Sale and Kershaw. If you are deciding between a Price or Cueto play, use their salaries as a final decider as Cueto is cheaper at DK, while Price is cheaper at FD.
