Chicago White Sox Offense (2015)
vs. RH Pitching: wOBA: 0.307 (Rank: 22) — Strikeout Rate: 20.3% (Rank: 16)
Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.325 (Rank: 17) — Strikeout Rate: 20.8% (Rank: 16)
Pitches per PA: 3.79 (Rank: 20)
Analysis: Martin is still unproven at the major league level. While his salary is extremely cheap on both FanDuel and DraftKings, that’s really about the only thing that he has going for him tonight. He is a sizable underdog on the road in a game that features a total of 8.5 runs. He can safely be avoided in all league formats tonight.
Pitcher Rating: 42.5

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.304 (Rank: 25) — Strikeout Rate: 20.6% (Rank: 14)
Pitches per PA: 3.85 (Rank: 9)
Analysis: Johnson has not been great in his short stint in the majors, posting a 5.01 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 17.5% over the last two seasons. While the A’s may not have the best numbers against right-handed pitching, we saw what they are capable of last night. Both of the pitchers in this game should be avoided in what is expected to be a high-scoring affair.
Pitcher Rating: 51.6
Batter Grind Down
Oakland
The A’s put up a whopping 17 runs on Jeff Samardzija and the White Sox last night. Knowing the A’s, they will likely back it up with a goose egg tonight, although their matchup against Erik Johnson is a favorable one. Johnson has given up a .432 wOBA to left-handed hitters over the last two seasons.

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.336 (Rank: 12) — Strikeout Rate: 19.5% (Rank: 8)
Pitches per PA: 3.72 (Rank: 28)
Analysis: Cashner has not been “money” on the road (it’s all I could come up with, the MLB/NFL/PGA overlap struggle is real people) in his career and given his matchup against the Diamondbacks in Chase Field, he is an easy pitcher to avoid tonight. The Diamondbacks’ offense has been good recently, as they are ranked 12th in team wOBA and eighth in strikeout rate over the last two weeks.
Pitcher Rating: 59.1

Pitches per PA: 3.83 (Rank: 12)
Analysis: Ray had a nice little stretch this summer, but he is back to being a mediocre left-handed pitcher. Over the last month of play, he has a 4.50 SIERA with a walk rate of 14.2%. Even in a favorable matchup against the Padres, I will not be using Ray in any type of league format tonight. I actually like both offenses in this game quite a bit.
Pitcher Rating: 59.4
Batter Grind Down
San Diego
The Padres may not have the best team numbers against left-handed pitching this season, but they have quite a few right-handed bats that feast on lefties. The Padres draw a favorable matchup against Robbie Ray and they also see a sizable ballpark boost playing in Chase Field.

Pitches per PA: 3.89 (Rank: 5)
Analysis: Weaver has one of the lowest strikeout rates of any starter in baseball, which immediately takes him out of fantasy consideration. It also doesn’t help that the Mariners have the third-highest team wOBA over the last two weeks of play. Continue to avoid Weaver in both cash games and tournaments.

Analysis: Iwakuma has struggled to maintain any type of form throughout the season. He has been very hit or miss, which is why I typically limit my exposure to him to tournaments. He draws a favorable matchup tonight against the Angels, who are ranked 23rd in team wOBA against right-handed pitching this season.
Pitcher Rating: 79.0
Batter Grind Down
LA Angels
The Angels draw a difficult matchup tonight against Hisashi Iwakuma, who has held both left and right-handed hitters under a .310 wOBA. Mike Trout is a decent tournament play, but he’s the only Angels’ hitter on my radar tonight.

Analysis: Wood has not been sharp recently, posting a 4.80 SIERA with a low strikeout rate of 14.9% over the last month of play. The good news is that he draws a favorable matchup against the Rockies, who are ranked 27th in team wOBA and 28th in strikeout rate against left-handed pitching this season. Wood is also one of the largest favorites tonight, making him an appealing SP2 on multi-pitcher sites.

Analysis: Peavy may be a sizable favorite tonight at home, but he lacks that upside that we are looking for in a starting pitcher. Over the last month of play, he has only struck out 15.7% of the batters that he has faced. There are better pitching options on the board tonight.
Pitcher Rating: 64.3
Batter Grind Down
Cincinnati
The Reds draw a mediocre matchup tonight against Jake Peavy. He has given up a .315+ wOBA to both left and right-handed hitters, but the Reds have to face him in the pitcher-friendly AT&T Park. Joey Votto is worth a look in tournaments, but there are better matchups to exploit tonight.
