Pitchers
Trevor Bauer vs Chicago White Sox: $53
Gerrit Cole vs Tampa Bay Rays: $56
Andrew Suarez vs Miami Marlins: $28
Bauer has been really good for most of the year, which has been a huge lift to this staff that’s anchored by Kluber. The bullpen has started to round into form a little bit as well, which was weird to see after that rough start to the season. The White Sox are a team I love to play against left-handed pitching but also fade against the right side, so it makes a ton of sense for a fade tonight. This is literally the perfect matchup for a guy like Bauer, and with Cole on the slate he is going to sneak a little lower than he should, which is just what we need. There are plenty of bats though on this slate, so we can actually fit Cole as well, which is the direction I am hoping to go. Cole and Houston are absolutely rolling along at the moment and I don’t see any way they are going to slow down against a team like the Rays. Suarez isn’t the best pitcher of all time, but this price is incredible for a guy that has seen a nice boost in velocity and isn’t near as bad as most people would think.
