Pitcher
Trevor Bauer vs Minnesota Twins: $55
Cole Hamels at Kansas City Royals: $36
Bauer has been one of my favorite arms all year long as he has taken the jump into the top pitchers in all of baseball. He is always priced up and low owned which obviously sticks out big time with how much upside he brings to the table. Minnesota had a great spot all weekend against Kansas City and never did quite get going because their lineup just isn’t very good. He has double-digit K upside every time he takes the mound and especially against this Twins lineup that does have a bunch of lefties to make the matchup a little tougher. Hamels isn’t the Hamels of old, but he looks a lot happier to be on a good team and playing for something these days. He is a nice big -200 favorite against maybe the worst lineup in baseball tonight, so he is definitely in play and is my choice for SP2.
