Pitching
Justin Verlander vs. Oakland Athletics $58
Verlander is at home tonight where he has allowed just a .228 wOBA with a 12.22 K/9 and after Cole dominated the A’s last night we should see Verlander do the same. He has the second lowest SIERA on the slate with the highest strikeout rate and least hard contact allowed plus gets a very pitcher friendly umpire calling balls and strikes. I’d argue he should be on every team you make.
Trevor Bauer vs. Cincinnati Reds $54
The Reds got to Clevinger last night but make no mistake that Bauer is a much better pitcher than he is. He has a 3.04 SIERA on the season paired with a 31% K rate while allowing just five homeruns this season. Sure the Reds don’t strikeout a ton but when you are as good as Bauer has been the strikeouts will be there along with the run suppression with a great chance at the win and going deep into the game.
Also Consider: Masahiro Tanaka $44, Garrett Richards $42, Rich Hill $39, Enyel De Los Santos $25, Pablo Lopez $25
