Pitching

Max Scherzer vs. Miami Marlins $62

Based on the expected performance tonight, Max should be $75 on Yahoo. This not only makes him the best projected pitcher by miles, but also the best value as well due to the scoring. This is one of the best matchups any pitcher will have for the rest of the season and you should consider making him 100% across every team/format you play on Yahoo tonight.
