After giving up five runs in his first start of the season, he has bounced back with two strong starts in a row against the Padres and Cubs. While I never like to target members of this Rockies’ starting rotation, his numbers aren’t half bad. Since the start of last season, he has a 4.12 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 19.4%. I’m not suggesting to play him today, but he’s not as bad of a pitcher as most people seem to think that he is.

Iglesias is the best pitching value in both the early-only and the all-day slates. When it comes to pitching in DFS, we care about strikeouts first, then the chance of a win, and then the potential runs allowed. Iglesias is still a bit raw, but he boasts an elite strikeout rate of 25.3% since the start of last season. His strikeouts have been down a bit this season, but the Rockies are a team that can help his cause. They have the 13th highest strikeout rate against right-handed pitching over the last two seasons. Iglesias is playable in both cash games and GPPs.

Batter Grind Down

Colorado

The Rockies may be ranked second in team wOBA and fist in team ISO against right-handed pitching, but those numbers are skewed by Coors Field. On the road, they are a middling offense. They have a slightly below-average team total today at 3.81 runs. I’m not going to target any Rockies in cash games, but Raisel Iglesias has allowed a .328 wOBA to left-handed hitters.

Cincinnati

The Reds have the tenth highest team total overall and the highest team total in the early-only slate. They may not hit right-handed pitching well as a team, but they do individually. They draw a favorable matchup against Chad Bettis, who has allowed a .315 wOBA to left-handed hitters and a .342 wOBA to right-handed hitters.

Hendricks is a pitcher that routinely flies under the radar, despite sporting a 3.33 SIERA and a strikeout rate of 22.4%. He doesn’t give up a lot of hard contact and he produces a ground ball rate over 51.9%. He is underpriced for his talent level, but it’s hard to recommend him over Raisel Iglesias, especially when you factor in the matchups. Since the start of last season, the Cardinals are ranked fourth in team wOBA and tenth in strikeout rate against right-handed pitching.

If you look at their pitcher ratings, I have Raisel Iglesias and Martinez ranked pretty close overall, although Iglesias comes at a significant discount. Of the two, I prefer Iglesias in all league formats. Martinez is certainly in play on multi-pitcher sites, though. Over the last two seasons, he has a 3.46 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 24.1%. Today’s matchup against the Cubs is of the boom or bust variety. The Cubs are ranked ninth in team wOBA against right-handed pitching, but 29th in strikeout rate.

Batter Grind Down

Chicago Cubs

On paper, the Cubs draw a difficult matchup against Carlos Martinez. However, if you look at his splits, the Cubs lineup has the right pieces to succeed here. Since the start of 2015, Martinez has allowed a .330 wOBA and ten home runs to left-handed hitters. His strikeout rate also dips significantly against hitters from that side of the plate. There aren’t any elite plays here, but the Cubs are decent lineup fillers in both cash games and GPPs.

St. Louis

The Cardinals have the second highest team total in the early-only slate. They are similar to the Cardinals in that there aren’t any must plays here, but you can look at the left-handed bats in the lineup. Over the last two seasons, Kyle Hendricks has allowed a .341 wOBA and 13 home runs to hitters from the left side of the plate.

Richards has been good, but not great this season. He has pitched at least five innings and has struck out at least six batters in each of his first three starts, but he has already allowed nine runs. He draws a favorable matchup against the White Sox, but he is a sizable underdog with Chris Sale pitching opposite him. Richards is more of a boom or bust GPP option today in the early slate.

Sale is the top pitching option on the board today, and that includes the evening games as well. He has an elite strikeout rate of 31.6% and an elite SIERA of 2.55. He doesn’t walk many batters and he is facing an Angels’ lineup that is not intimidating outside of Mike Trout. If you look at the projected lineup below, the Angels have four hitters with a wOBA under .290 against southpaws. For me, it all comes down to choices. If you want to spend up on hitters in the early slate, target Raisel Iglesias. If you want to spend up on your pitcher, target Sale.

Batter Grind Down

LA Angels

The Angels do not hit left-handed pitching well and they face the second-best southpaw in baseball today in Chris Sale. Since the start of last season, Sale has held both left and right-handed hitters under a .280 wOBA. Mike Trout is the only hitter that is on my radar here, but he is more of a tournament play in this tough matchup.

Chicago White Sox

The White Sox have really struggled offensively this season, averaging only three runs per game. They have the fourth lowest team total in the early-only slate and they draw a fairly tough matchup against Garrett Richards. The right-handed hitters have a slight edge in this matchup, as Richards has allowed a .318 wOBA and 13 home runs to hitters from that side of the plate.

Walker has only struck out eight batters in his first two starts this season, but the matchups haven’t exactly been strikeout-friendly. He has the same problem tonight against the Indians, who have had the seventh lowest strikeout rate against right-handed pitching over the last two seasons. If this game was being played in Seattle, it may be a different story. However, Walker is listed as a sizable underdog on the road. There are better pitching options to target tonight.

Salazar is an elite strikeout pitcher with a ton of upside in this matchup. Since the start of last season, he owns a 3.37 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 26.3%. His pitch count does tend to get up there by the fifth or sixth inning, but the Indians will let him throw 105+ pitches if necessary. The Mariners have really struggled with right-handed pitching, ranking 17th in team wOBA and 26th in strikeout rate over the last two seasons. I want to have exposure to Salazar here, but the awkward starting time makes it difficult unless you are playing the all-day slate.

Batter Grind Down

Seattle

The Mariners have the fifth lowest team total on the board tonight, as they square off against Danny Salazar in a neutral ballpark for offensive production. Salazar has a high strikeout rate and he has held both left and right-handed hitters under a .305 wOBA. There are better matchups to exploit than this one.

The Indians may not hit a lot of home runs as a team, but this is a home run-friendly matchup. Since the start of last season, Walker has allowed 26 home runs (13 to left-handed hitters and 13 to right-handed hitters). I’m not going to look at any Indians’ bats in cash games, but they do have some appeal as GPP targets.

Colon is a bit of an anomaly. He is nearly 43 years old and he still has a SIERA under 4.00. He doesn’t have a high strikeout at this point in his career, but he rarely walks any batters and he is still dirt cheap on DraftKings ($5,500). He has a decent chance to pick up the win in a favorable matchup against the Phillies. There are enough options that I don’t think you have to go that cheap in cash games, but Colon is a decent play for the price.

Hellickson has pitched better than most people give him credit for, posting a 4.07 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 19.4% over the last two seasons. The Mets have been tough on opposing pitchers recently (see Corey Kluber and Vincent Velasquez). Hellickson should fly under the radar and he’s not the worst GPP play, but I will likely have zero exposure to him tonight.

Batter Grind Down

NY Mets

The Mets draw a decent matchup tonight against Jeremy Hellickson, who has allowed a .321+ wOBA to both left and right-handed hitters. New York has the ninth highest team total on the board and Citizens Bank Park is actually a pretty decent park for offensive production.

Philadelphia

The Phillies have a couple of interesting plays tonight. While they don’t hit right-handed pitching well as a team, Bartolo Colon does have a bad outing every now and then. The main reason why the Phillies are on my radar is how cheap their hitters are. The average salary of their projected starters is $2,375 on FanDuel and $3,200 on DraftKings.
