Pitching

Gerrit Cole vs. Texas Rangers $52

Cole should be worth the high price tonight at home in a picthers park with the roof closed tonight against a Rangers team hitting for just a .297 wOBA against right-handed pitching so far this year. Cole is pitching at an unsustainable rate so take his early season performances with a grain of salt, but do not expect much of a drop off as he should thrive in the Astros pitching system that allows him to throw is non fastball stuff more than ever.
