Pitcher

Max Scherzer at Philadelphia Phillies $63

Max leads the slate in just about every important category for pitchers with a 34.6% K rate, a 2.74 SIERA, and a 16.2% swinging strike rate on the season. He is also tied with deGrom for the highest soft contact allowed as well and gets to face a Phillies team he has dominated in both starts this season by racking up an absurd 25 strikeouts in just 13.1 IP. He is the best pitcher in the best spot tonight and you should expect nothing less than a stellar outing.
