MLB Pitching Primer: Friday, May 18th
Everything in the sport of baseball comes down to the hitter-versus-pitcher matchup – which makes pitching the most important element of MLB DFS play. Without an understanding of the best pitching plays on the day, your DFS efforts will be sunk! Each day, the Pitching Primer will provide you with some of the top pitching plays on the day – taking a close look at the “why” behind these picks, and helping you to identify pitchers others might overlook.

Tonight feels like the perfect situation to start today’s Primer with a little caveat. And that is, in general, I try to write this article without discussing weather in the sense of rain delaying/postponing/suspending a game. I start writing far enough out from lock that so many things can change, and any “analysis” I give would be from me checking my Weatherbug app. For me to comment on weather would really just be guessing, and we have all seen this week alone how much really goes into predicting a forecast (and how quickly things can change).
