Pitching
Justin Verlander at Chicago White Sox $59
It’s very tough to separate the top three pitchers tonight and you can make solid arguments for all of them, but if forced to choose I think I am leaning Verlander ever so slightly. He has a 34% strikeout rate so far this season while allowing just a 25% hard hit rate while the White are carrying a 25% strikeout rate against right-handed pitching so far this season. Add in what is likely to be the highest chance of any pitcher going tonight to get the win, and he just edges out Kershaw and Sherzer for me.
