Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.348 (Rank: 4) — Strikeout Rate: 16.5% (Rank: 3)
Pitchers per PA: 3.86 (Rank: 9)
Analysis: Wilson may have a 2.56 ERA over the last month of play, but that’s more fools gold than what we can expect moving forward. During that same stretch, his SIERA is at 4.64. He draws a difficult matchup tonight against the Astros, who are ranked fourth in team wOBA and third in strikeout rate over the last 14 days of play. Wilson also has to face them in the hitter-friendly Minute Maid Park.

Analysis: McHugh has been better recently, but he is still struggling to find the form that he had last season. Over the last month of play, he has a 3.74 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 16.8%. He draws a tough matchup tonight against the Angels, who have been one of the better offenses in baseball over the last few weeks. I prefer McHugh over C.J. Wilson, but will likely be avoiding both tonight in Houston.
Pitcher Rating:68.7
Batter Grind Down
LA Angels
The Angels see a favorable ballpark shift playing in Minute Maid Park, but they draw a tough matchup against Collin McHugh, who has held left and right-handed hitters under a .310 wOBA over the last two seasons. Mike Trout is really the only fantasy option of note here, but he has been dealing with a wrist injury, so tread lightly.

Houston
The Astros still lead the majors in home runs with 136 on the season. They have some great right-handed bats to throw at C.J. Wilson, who has given up a .319 wOBA to hitters from that side of the plate over the last two seasons. Jose Altuve is the top target here, but don’t count out Carlos Correa, Evan Gattis, and Marwin Gonzalez.

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.315 (Rank: 14) — Strikeout Rate: 16.8% (Rank: 4)
Pitchers per PA: 3.78 (Rank: 19)
Analysis: Leake has really pitched well over the last month of play, posting a 3.35 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 21.3% over the last month of play. His biggest weakness is left-handed hitters and while the Cardinals do have some quality lefties in their lineup, they have quite a few righties as well. The biggest issue here is his strikeout potential. On the season, the Cardinals have the eight-lowest strikeout rate against right-handed pitching.
Pitcher Rating:55.1

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.347 (Rank: 5) — Strikeout Rate: 18.6% (Rank: 11)
Pitchers per PA: 3.74 (Rank: 24)
Analysis: Garcis is making his first start in more than a month, after a groin injury put him on the DL. He looked fine in his rehab start, but there is still some concern that he could be on a pitch count in his first start back. I always like taking a wait and see approach with pitchers coming back from injury and that’s the route I am going to take with Garcia tonight. He draws a tough matchup against the Reds, who are ranked eighth in team wOBA and eighth in strikeout rate against left-handed pitching this season.
Pitcher Rating:62.2
Batter Grind Down
Cincinnati
The Reds are sizable underdogs in a game that features a total of only 7.0 runs. They are not expected to do a whole lot offensively, which makes them secondary options tonight. Joey Votto is the only fantasy option of note here. He has been red-hot over the last two weeks and he is facing a reverse-splits pitcher in Jaime Garcia.

St. Louis
Mike Leake makes our job very easy. He is very effective against right-handed hitters and he really struggles against left-handed hitters. Since the start of the 2014 season, Leake has given up a .340 wOBA to hitters from the left side of the plate. Kolten Wong, Jason Heyward, and Matt Carpenter are all in play tonight at home.

Pitchers per PA: 3.87 (Rank: 6)
Analysis: This is a case of a stud pitcher being overpriced for their matchup. Gray has pitched well over the last two seasons, but he draws an awful matchup against the Dodgers, who are ranked second in team wOBA against right-handed pitching. The Dodgers also average the sixth-most pitches per plate appearance, which makes driving up their opponent’s pitch count. Given his price point, he is an easy avoid tonight in Los Angeles.

Pitchers per PA: 3.87 (Rank: 7)
Analysis: Anderson continues to pitch well for the Dodgers. Since the start of the 2014 season, he has a 3.34 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 17.0%. The A’s aren’t the best matchup for strikeouts, but they aren’t nearly as effective against southpaws, as they are against right-handed pitchers. Anderson is cheap and he is a favorite in a game that features a low run total. He deserves consideration as an SP2 on multi-pitcher sites.
Pitcher Rating:72.0
Batter Grind Down
Oakland
The A’s are small underdogs in a game that features a low total of 6.5 runs. They are not expected to have a big night offensively, which makes them secondary options at best tonight. If you are targeting any hitters here, target the ones that can hit from the right side, as Brett Anderson has given up a .314 wOBA to right-handed hitters over the last two seasons.

LA Dodgers
The Dodgers may be favorites in this game, but their offense does not interest me tonight. They draw a tough matchup against Sonny Gray, who has held left and right-handed hitters under a .270 wOBA over the last two seasons. Adrian Gonzalez is about as matchup-proof as they come, but he’s a secondary play at first base.

Analysis: Godley pitched well in his major league debut, striking out seven batters in six scoreless innings of work against the Diamondbacks. I wouldn’t expect that success to continue moving forward though, as he had a 4.81 FIP with a low strikeout rate in his three starts at the Double-A level before getting called up. The Mariners are big favorites tonight for a reason.

Pitchers per PA: 3.69 (Rank: 29)
Analysis: Iwakuma is finally starting to show good form, posting a 3.13 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 21.2% over the last month of play. His matchup against the Diamondbacks may not seem great, but they actually have the eighth-highest strikeout rate against right-handed pitching this season. Even more important is that he gets to face them at Safeco Field, where Iwakuma has a 3.04 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 21.8% in his career. Tonight is the night to buy low on Iwakuma before his price matches his recent level of production.
Pitcher Rating:79.6

The Diamondbacks are an easy team to avoid tonight in daily fantasy. They are huge underdogs on the road against Hisashi Iwakuma, who has held left and right-handed hitters under a .315 wOBA over the last two seasons.

The Mariners will likely get overlooked tonight after Zack Godley’s successful major league debut. I’m not buying in on him just yet though. The Mariners have been one of the best offenses in baseball over the last few weeks and most of that success has come against right-handed pitching. Robinson Cano, Nelson Cruz, and Kyle Seager are all in play tonight.

He has been a good starter for the Brewers, posting a 3.79 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 17.7% over the last two seasons. He may be a little rusty tonight and given his matchup against the Giants, there is no reason to take the risk.

Analysis: Cain appears to be trending in the right direction. Over the last month of play, he has a 3.86 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 21.5%. His fantasy appeal tonight hinges on two players: Ryan Braun and Adam Lind. If both players are out of the lineup again tonight, Cain could be worth a look as an SP2 on multi-pitcher sites. He’s a sizable favorite at home in the pitcher-friendly AT&T Park. Just make sure to check the Brewers’ lineup before targeting Cain in your lineups.

Batter Grind Down
Milwaukee
The Brewers are yet another road team that is an underdog in a game that features a low run total. They draw a fairly difficult matchup against Matt Cain in the pitcher-friendly AT&T Park. The Brewers should be considered secondary options here.

San Francisco
The Giants draw a favorable matchup tonight against Wily Peralta, who is a fly-ball pitcher that has given up 1.1 home runs per nine innings over the last two seasons. During that stretch, Peralta has given up a .365 wOBA to left-handed hitters. Brandon Belt is the preferred target here, but Brandon Crawford, Joe Panik, and Angel Pagan are also worth a look.
