MLB Pitching Primer: Sunday, April 15th
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.
Sunday, April 15th
NOTE: There are a lot of weather concerns for Sunday. Be sure to stay tuned to MLB Weather before lock!
We have a rainy 11-game Main Slate starting at 1:05PM ET on all sites today, which has already been shortened to ten games with a rainout in Minnesota. Other potential weather trouble spots today include Boston, Cincinnati, Cleveland, New York, Detroit, Washington, and Chicago, with the Toronto-Cleveland and Yankees – Detroit matchups looking the riskiest.
Start to finish this is one of the best days for pitching I’ve ever seen, with Sale, Kluber, Syndergaard, Strasburg, Severino, Ohtani, and Carlos Martinez all at least scheduled to take the hill in the Main Slate, followed up by Kershaw and Verlander this afternoon and tonight.
