Sean O’Sullivan : FD: $5,100 — DK: $4,400
Pitching Stats:
2014 – 2015: IP: 69.0 — SIERA: 4.89 — K%: 11.3% — BB%: 6.3% — FB Rate: 37.0% — HR/FB: 14.9%
Last 30 Days: IP: 34.1 — SIERA: 5.36 — K%: 9.0% — BB%: 7.1% — FB Rate: 38.2% — HR/FB: 12.8%
New York Yankees Offense (2015)
vs. RH Pitching: wOBA: 0.331 (Rank: 4) — Strikeout Rate: 18.8% (Rank: 7)
Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.366 (Rank: 1) — Strikeout Rate: 17.3% (Rank: 6)
Pitchers per PA: 3.89 (Rank: 4)
Analysis: There are some bad pitching options on the bump tonight, but none with a lower pitcher rating than Sean O’Sullivan. He is the largest underdog on the schedule, as he takes on a red-hot Yankees’ offense in Yankee Stadium. The Yankees are ranked 4th in wOBA (.331) against right-handed pitching and 1st in wOBA (.366) over the last 14 days. He should be avoided in all league formats tonight.
Pitcher Rating:23.8
CC Sabathia : FD: $7,400 — DK: $7,700
Pitching Stats:
2014 – 2015: IP: 129.0 — SIERA: 3.32 — K%: 21.6% — BB%: 4.4% — FB Rate: 32.2% — HR/FB: 19.1%
Last 30 Days: IP: 31.0 — SIERA: 3.26 — K%: 22.3% — BB%: 3.6% — FB Rate: 31.7% — HR/FB: 21.9%
Philadelphia Phillies Offense (2015)
vs. LH Pitching: wOBA: 0.302 (Rank: 19) — Strikeout Rate: 19.7% (Rank: 10)
Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.290 (Rank: 23) — Strikeout Rate: 17.4% (Rank: 7)
Pitchers per PA: 3.73 (Rank: 26)
Analysis: The Phillies have ruined the outings of two quality starters in the last two days (Pineda and Wacha). They always say that you are never as good as you think you are, or never as bad as you think you are in baseball. While that may be true, the Phillies are pretty awful. Sabathia is an intriguing target tonight at home. He has pitched well over the last month of play with a 3.26 SIERA and a strikeout rate of 22.3%. He is the largest favorite on the board and he could be in line for the win, even if he gives up a few early runs. As crazy as it sounds, Sabathia is in play for both cash games and tournaments.

Philadelphia
Maikel Franco : FD: $2,900 — DK: $4,100
Position Eligibility: FD: 3B — DK: 3B
2014-15 vs. LH Pitching: PA: 65 — wOBA: 0.238 — ISO: 0.102 — wRC+: 46
Last 14 Days: PA: 55 — wOBA: 0.451 — ISO: 0.240 — wRC+: 191
Analysis: Franco has hit the ball well over the last two weeks, posting a .451 wOBA with a .240 ISO. His numbers against left-handed pitching haven’t been great over the last two seasons, but he has hit southpaws much better this season. He draws favorable matchup against CC Sabathia, who has given up a .397 wOBA to left-handed hitters over the past two seasons.
NY Yankees
Brett Gardner : FD: $4,000 — DK: $4,600
Position Eligibility: FD: OF — DK: OF
2014-15 vs. RH Pitching: PA: 648 — wOBA: 0.347 — ISO: 0.186 — wRC+: 121
Last 14 Days: PA: 60 — wOBA: 0.415 — ISO: 0.259 — wRC+: 168
Analysis: Gardner had another big fantasy outing last night, batting 4-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, and two runs. His hot streak should continue tonight against Sean O’Sullivan, who has given up a .426 wOBA to left-handed hitters over the past two seasons. The Yankees are one of the top offenses to stack tonight and I don’t mind targeting a few of them in cash games.

Josh Smith : FD: $3,000 — DK:
Pittsburgh Pirates Offense (2015)
vs. RH Pitching: wOBA: 0.300 (Rank: 22) — Strikeout Rate: 20.3% (Rank: 19)
Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.288 (Rank: 24) — Strikeout Rate: 21.5% (Rank: 23)
Pitchers per PA: 3.79 (Rank: 16)
Analysis: Smith is making his major league debut tonight. In eight minor league starts this season, he has a 3.02 FIP with a strikeout rate of 17.7%. He was drafted in the 21st round and isn’t considered to be a top prospect. He is a small underdog tonight against the Pirates in Pittsburgh. We should take a wait and see approach before targeting him in daily fantasy.
Pitcher Rating:35.2
Jeff Locke : FD: $7,000 — DK: $6,200
Pitching Stats:
2014 – 2015: IP: 205.1 — SIERA: 4.07 — K%: 17.0% — BB%: 7.8% — FB Rate: 28.9% — HR/FB: 12.6%

Cincinnati Reds Offense (2015)
vs. LH Pitching: wOBA: 0.325 (Rank: 5) — Strikeout Rate: 20.4% (Rank: 13)
Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.319 (Rank: 14) — Strikeout Rate: 20.0% (Rank: 16)
Pitchers per PA: 3.73 (Rank: 25)
Analysis: Locke has been a serviceable starter for the Pirates. Over the last month of play, he has a 3.95 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 19.3%. While some of the Reds best hitters are left-handed, they actually hit left-handed pitching very well as a team. On the season, they are ranked 5th in wOBA against southpaws. Locke is a favorite in this game, but the matchup is less than ideal. I’d much rather target CC Sabathia at a similar price point, as he has a much better matchup.

Cincinnati
Todd Frazier : FD: $5,100 — DK: $5,200
Position Eligibility: FD: 3B — DK: 1B/3B

Last 14 Days: PA: 53 — wOBA: 0.506 — ISO: 0.510 — wRC+: 227
Analysis: The only knock on Frazier tonight is his salary. He’s priced above $5,000 on both FanDuel and DraftKings. Everything else lines up for a good outing. He has been swinging a hot bat over the last two weeks with a .506 wOBA and a .510 ISO. He also has a great track record against left-handed pitching and a favorable matchup against Jeff Locke.
Joey Votto

2014-15 vs. LH Pitching: PA: 157 — wOBA: 0.388 — ISO: 0.230 — wRC+: 147
Pittsburgh
The Pirates draw a favorable matchup against rookie Josh Smith, but with all of the other great matchups tonight, it’s hard to pick out any single batters as elite plays. The Pirates are in play tonight, but the hitters are better secondary options.

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.337 (Rank: 8) — Strikeout Rate: 18.4% (Rank: 11)
Pitchers per PA: 3.73 (Rank: 22)
Analysis: Despite having the same velocity as last season, Wood’s strikeout numbers are down this season. He is averaging two strikeouts less per nine innings and he is generating a much lower swinging-strike rate of 7.1%. Without a high strikeout rate, Wood is an average to above-average left-handed pitcher. He’s not on my radar tonight against the Nationals, who are ranked 10th in wOBA (.315) against left-handed pitching and 8th in wOBA (.337) over the last 14 days.
Pitcher Rating:61.0
Stephen Strasburg : FD: $8,000 — DK: $9,000

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.308 (Rank: 17) — Strikeout Rate: 17.5% (Rank: 8)
Pitchers per PA: 3.77 (Rank: 18)
Analysis: Strasburg has been dealing with numerous injuries this season that have either shortened his starts or kept him from taking the mound altogether. He has been cleared to pitch tonight, but we need to see a couple of quality starts before considering him in daily fantasy. At the moment, there are too many red flags surrounding Strasburg. It’s a shame too, as he gets to face a Braves’ offense that will be without Freddie Freeman.
Pitcher Rating:68.8
Batter Grind Down
Atlanta
Freddie Freeman will likely be placed on the DL, which would be a huge blow to the Braves’ offense as a whole. Without him in the lineup, they are a much different offense. Even though Stephen Strasburg has struggled this season, there aren’t any Braves’ hitters that stand out as elite plays tonight.
Jace Peterson

2014-15 vs. RH Pitching: PA: 264 — wOBA: 0.292 — ISO: 0.091 — wRC+: 84
Washington
Alex Wood hasn’t had the same success as a starter that he did in 2014, but he has still held left and right-handed hitters under a .305 wOBA over the past two seasons. The Nationals’ hitters are in play tonight, but they are better secondary options rather than elite plays.

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.278 (Rank: 26) — Strikeout Rate: 19.4% (Rank: 13)
Pitchers per PA: 3.93 (Rank: 3)
Analysis: Price has been terrific over the last month of play, posting a 3.02 SIERA with an impressive strikeout rate of 26.9%. It’s always hard to dominate an opponent two times in a row, but Price made quick work of the Indians in their last meeting. He threw a complete game shutout while striking out eight batters. Price throws a ton of strikes, which should help him keep his pitch count down against an Indians’ offense that likes to take a lot of pitches. If they take a lot of pitches tonight, they are going to find themselves behind in the count. Price is not as safe as Madison Bumgarner tonight, but he has just as much upside.

Last 14 Days: wOBA: 0.340 (Rank: 7) — Strikeout Rate: 20.3% (Rank: 18)
Pitchers per PA: 3.84 (Rank: 9)
Analysis: Salazar has pitched well over the last two seasons, posting a 3.08 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 27.2%. The strikeout potential is always there with Salazar, but he does walk quite a few batters. He also gives up quite a few home runs, as he is a fly-ball pitcher with an above-average HR/FB rate. With a matchup against the Tigers tonight, I’m going to fade Salazar completely. The Tigers are ranked 9th or better in wOBA against right-handed pitching, wOBA over the last 14 days, and pitches per plate appearance this season.

Analysis: I’m not sure what the Indians did to Miggy, but he is paying them back in full this season. In 37 at-bats against Cleveland, Cabrera has 24 hits (7 extra-base hits), 16 RBI, and 11 runs. Cabrera has been red-hot over the last two weeks and he also has a good track record against the reverse-splits pitcher Danny Salazar, batting 7-for-19 with two home runs.

Cleveland
David Price is tough on hitters from both sides of the plate, holding them under a .295 wOBA over the last two seasons. This game has a better chance of turning into a pitcher’s duel than it does a shootout. With a game in Coors Field tonight, we can avoid the Indians’ offense altogether.

Analysis: Dickey has pitched well over the last month of play, posting a 4.05 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 21.1%. While he appears to be trending in the right direction, he is still a very risky fantasy option. Dickey has a high walk rate and he gives up a lot of home runs. That’s a bad combination for a pitcher. Even in a favorable matchup against the Rays, Dickey should be restricted to tournament play tonight.

Pitchers per PA: 3.80 (Rank: 14)
Analysis: Archer has been absolutely dominant over the last month of play, posting a 2.07 SIERA with an elite strikeout rate of 34.2%. He draws a difficult matchup tonight against the Blue Jays, but luckily he gets to face them at Tropicana Field rather than at the Rogers Centre. Archer is a sizable favorite in a game that features a low total of 7.0 runs. The oddsmakers like Archer in this matchup and with his strikeout potential, he deserves consideration in both cash games and tournaments.
Pitcher Rating:81.2
Batter Grind Down
Toronto
Chris Archer has been one of the best pitchers in all of baseball this season. He owns a SIERA close to 2.00 over the last month of play. While the Blue Jays are one of the best offenses against right-handed pitching, they are overpriced for their matchup tonight against the Rays.

Analysis: Kiermaier had another solid fantasy outing last night. He has been swinging a hot bat over the last couple of weeks and he is still very cheap on both FanDuel and DraftKings. He draws a favorable matchup tonight against R.A. Dickey, who is a fly-ball pitcher with an above-average HR/FB rate.
