Jeff Samardzija : FD: $8,700 — DK: $9,000
Pitching Stats:
2014 – 2015: IP: 352.0 — SIERA: 3.34 — ERA: 3.40 — K%: 21.5% — BB%: 4.8% — HR/9: 0.9

Cleveland Indians Offense (2015)
vs. RH Pitching: wOBA: 0.305 (Rank: 21) — Strikeout Rate: 18.6% (Rank: 7)
Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.303 (Rank: 18) — Strikeout Rate: 17.8% (Rank: 6)
Pitchers per PA: 3.92 (Rank: 3)
Analysis: Samardzija has been terrific over the last month of play, posting a 2.61 ERA. His indicators haven’t been quite as solid, but at least he is pitching better than he did to start the season. He draws a fairly difficult matchup tonight against the Indians, who have a lineup full of left-handed hitters to throw at him. He may pitch well here, but his strikeout potential is limited. Cleveland has the seventh-lowest strikeout rate against right-handed pitching and they average the third-most pitches per plate appearance this season.
Pitcher Rating:58.3
Trevor Bauer : FD: $8,400 — DK: $8,700

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.292 (Rank: 24) — Strikeout Rate: 22.3% (Rank: 24)
Pitchers per PA: 3.76 (Rank: 22)
Analysis: Bauer has had some bad luck recently. Over the last month of play, there has been nearly a two and a half run difference between his SIERA and his ERA. Some positive regression should be coming his way soon enough. That could start as early as tonight against the White Sox, who are ranked 25th in wOBA and 15th in strikeout rate against right-handed pitching. Clayton Kerhsaw is the obvious route in cash games, but Bauer is a nice contrarian option for tournaments.
Pitcher Rating:72.3
Batter Grind Down
Chicago White Sox
The White Sox draw an average matchup against Trevor Bauer tonight in Cleveland. Bauer is a reverse-splits pitcher, so if you are targeting any hitters from this lineup, give the advantage to the ones that can hit from the right side of the plate. A discounted Jose Abreu makes a great play tonight, while Tyler Saladino offers good value on DraftKings.

Cleveland
The Indians draw a difficult matchup against Jeff Samardzija, who has held left and right-handed hitters under a .310 wOBA over the last two seasons. The left-handed bats of Jason Kipnis and Michael Brantley are in play, but both are secondary options at their respective positions.

Clayton Kershaw : FD: $13,000 — DK: $14,500

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.313 (Rank: 16) — Strikeout Rate: 18.9% (Rank: 11)
Pitchers per PA: 3.86 (Rank: 8)
Analysis: Use Kershaw in your cash game lineups tonight. Just do it and thank me later. His price is expensive, which will hopefully scare some people off of him tonight. Even at his salary, I still expect him to return value. He draws the best matchup on the board, as he gets to face a Mets’ offense that is ranked 27th in wOBA and 27th in strikeout rate against left-handed pitching this season. Kershaw has been absolutely dominant in his recent starts and I expect that trend to continue tonight.
Pitcher Rating:99.5
Bartolo Colon : FD: $7,000 — DK: $7,200

2014 – 2015: IP: 311.2 — SIERA: 3.72 — ERA: 4.36 — K%: 18.2% — BB%: 3.3% — HR/9: 1.0

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.317 (Rank: 13) — Strikeout Rate: 19.8% (Rank: 15)
Pitchers per PA: 3.88 (Rank: 5)
Analysis: Colon is one of those pitchers that is rarely on my radar in daily fantasy. He has an average SIERA with a slightly-below average strikeout rate and he plays for a team that has one of the worst offenses in baseball. I expect the Mets to put up no fight tonight against Clayton Kershaw, which means Colon may not even get the win if he holds the Dodgers scoreless. I’m pulling an all out fade of the Mets tonight.
Pitcher Rating:49.3
Batter Grind Down
LA Dodgers
Even though Citi Field may not be the best ballpark for offensive production, the Dodgers’ offense is in a good spot tonight against Bartolo Colon, who throws fastballs for around 90% of his pitches. The Dodgers are one of the best hitting teams against right-handed pitching and hitters from both sides of the plate are in play tonight.

Pitchers per PA: 3.78 (Rank: 19)
Analysis: Young is one of the easiest pitchers to avoid in all of daily fantasy baseball. He has an above-average SIERA with a below-average strikeout rate. He has not been sharp in his recent starts and he draws a difficult matchup against the Cardinals, who are ranked tenth in wOBA and ninth in strikeout rate against right-handed pitching this season.

Pitchers per PA: 3.66 (Rank: 30)
Analysis: Lackey has had a 1.51 ERA over the last month of play, but we can’t expect him to keep that up for much longer. His SIERA during that stretch was at 4.34, which is actually higher than his SIERA over the last two seasons combined. We never like targeting pitchers against the Royals and that’s not going to change tonight. They have the fewest strikeouts of any team in baseball and it’s not even close.
Pitcher Rating:60.8

Kansas City
The Royals are one of those teams that gets production from up and down their lineup. They don’t rely on one or two players to do the heavy lifting, which can make it difficult to predict who is going to perform well on a nightly basis. With that said, Eric Hosmer offers by far the best value on the team, as his price is discounted on both FanDuel and DraftKings.

The Cardinals draw a favorable matchup against Chris Young, who has given up a .338 wOBA to left-handed hitters over the last two seasons. Jason Heyward is the top target here, but Kolten Wong is also worth a look at second base.

Pitchers per PA: 3.85 (Rank: 9)
Analysis: Miley is an easy pitcher to avoid on most nights, especially when he is facing a talented offense like that of the Astros. On the season, Houston is ranked seventh in wOBA against left-handed pitching. They also lead the majors in home runs. Miley should be avoided in all league formats tonight, as the risk greatly outweighs the potential reward.
Pitcher Rating:46.8

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.246 (Rank: 30) — Strikeout Rate: 21.3% (Rank: 20)
Pitchers per PA: 3.97 (Rank: 2)
Analysis: McCullers has really pitched well this season, posting a 3.27 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 27.1%. He is the real deal. His command is still somewhat of an issue, but the strikeout potential more than makes up for it. Tonight he faces a Red Sox offense that is ranked dead last in team wOBA over the last 14 days of play. He’s not the best cash game option tonight, but he makes a great tournament play, especially on FanDuel ($6,700).
Pitcher Rating:75.8

Boston
The sample size is still relatively small, but Lance McCullers has held left and right-handed hitters under a .275 wOBA this season. This could be another night to fade the Red Sox completely. Hanley Ramirez is in play as a secondary option.

Analysis: Fiers is having a turrible season, yes that’s right, turrible. His SIERA and walk rate are both up, while his strikeout rate has gone down significantly. At this point, he should be avoided in all league formats. I will be looking to target a few Diamondbacks hitters against him tonight.

Analysis: Godley is making his first career major league start tonight. He is one of the Diamondbacks top prospects, but he has yet to pitch above Double-A and even there, he only made two starts. I usually like to avoid pitchers making their debuts and I’m going to employ that strategy again tonight. The Brewers have been red-hot recently, ranking fourth in wOBA and fifth in strikeout rate over the last 14 days of play.

Milwaukee
The Brewers are expected to score some runs tonight on the rookie, as Vegas has them installed as small favorites in what should be a high-scoring game. Hitters from both sides of the plate are in play here, but Adam Lind, Gerardo Parra, and Jonathan Lucroy stand out as the top targets against the rookie right-hander.
