Austin Pruitt has struck out 16 of his last 59 batters

Batters from either side of the plate are above a .340 wOBA and .331 xwOBA against Trent Thornton, whose strikeout rate is down to 18.9% over the last month. Over his last 15 innings, opponents have scored 11 runs on four HRs. For the season his ERA and most estimators are around five with a 7.68 DRA that’s two full runs higher. Though he gets a park upgrade tonight, it’s not an easy spot against the Rays, who are implied for 5.36 runs, the third best total on the board. Joey Wendle (84 wRC+, .131 ISO vs RHP last calendar year) becomes the plug and play value bat tonight, as he finds himself leading off at a very low price on either site. Should he reach base, Austin Meadows (144 wRC+, .263 ISO), Tommy Pham (127 wRC+, .218 ISO), and Ji-Man Choi (124 wRC+, .196 ISO) all have been swinging hot bats and will looking to drive him in.

Complete Nonsense

This is one of the worst pitching slates we've ever had, and it would get even worse if Zack Grienke gets rained out. The pricing is tough on DK/FDRFT, where decent pitchers like Anthony Desclafani, Eduardo Rodriguez and Joey Lucchesi are priced near ace level. I am viewing this is a 'win it with the bats' slate, and am willing to take minimum salary pitchers on limited pitch counts and just be happy with any positive points I can get. Brock Stewart and Austin Pruitt are both being called the primary pitchers for their respective teams. Neither is great, and neither is likely to throw more than 3-4 innings, but they are both facing high strikeout opponents and they cost nothing. I don't have a strong lean to one or the other, so I will be mixing and matching in my lineups tonight.

Value! Value! Value!

On a slate that offers a lot of great spend up options with a total of 14 in Coors Field and Chris Sale and some other good offensive options, finding salary relief is a major issue. That's where Austin Pruitt comes in handy. He's priced at $5,500 on FD and $4,000 on DK, and he's expected to be the "bulk" pitcher for the Rays tonight. Pruitt is stretched out and could certainly throw around 80-90 pitches here, and while he is no sure thing, this is still a pitcher who had a solid 25% strikeout rate at AAA in the first half. There's potential upside given the matchup against the Orioles, and the cheap price tag is the primary appeal.

Ryne Stanek and Austin Pruitt both have more trouble with same-handed batters

Ryne Stanek will start the game for the Rays and work through the middle part of Seattle order, which is predominantly right-handed, most likely. It's expected he will then give way to Austin Pruitt, who should pitch the majority of the innings. Pruitt has a reverse split (RHBs .354 wOBA, LHBs .308 wOBA since last season) that comes with an .8.6 point difference in his ground ball rate as well. The interesting thing is that Stanek has a reverse split in his limited big league work as well (RHBs .433 wOBA with all eight HRs he's surrendered in 88 PAs). Nelson Cruz (137 wRC+, .259 ISO vs RHP last calendar year) is the top bat in the lineup and the hottest one as well (214 wRC+, 55.6 Hard% last seven days). His 94.3 mph aEV this season overall is sixth best among those with at least 100 BBEs.

Mike Leake has a 60.7 GB% over his last four starts and throws a pitch (cutter) the Rays are worst in the majors against (-9.5 wCT)

Pitchers priced below $5K on DraftKings are not meant to make one feel comfortable, but all four that fit that description may be usable in support of a high priced arm. Mike Leake hasn't been great, but has pitched into the seventh inning in three of four starts and has a 60.7 GB% in that span. His xwOBA is finally below .400 and his aEV is nearly below 90 mph (90.4) with a hard hit rate below 40% in five of his last six starts. While we know that the Rays hit fastballs well (21.1 wFB), they are below average against sliders and cutters. In fact, he throws the cutter second most often this year (21.9%) and the Rays have a worse composite mark (-9.5 wCT) than any team in the majors against that pitch. Austin Pruitt is a near minimum priced pitcher who will garner nearly no ownership because he’s not officially listed as the starter tonight. He’s not going to overwhelm, but will miss the top half of the order in Seattle first time through. Elieser Hernandez just has an elite matchup at a near minimum cost in Arizona (68 wRC+, 25.7 K% vs RHP), even if his own numbers are not that encouraging (12.9 K%, 8.6 SwStr%, .347 xwOBA, 4.62 SIERA). Dennis Santana makes his debut in Coors (not good) and the Dodgers have declared this a potential bullpen game (not good), but he costs $4K and could give them enough reason to let him go for a while. The 22 year-old converted SS has exceeded a 30% strikeout rate in 50 combined innings at AA and AAA this season

Chris Sale and Corey Kluber are one-two in the majors in K-BB%

Tonight's slate belongs to two pitchers. Chris Sale leads the league with a 31.4 K% and is third with a 15.6 SwStr%. Corey Kluber is second (30 K-BB%) and first (16.2 SwStr%). Sale has the park advantage and a potentially higher strikeout upside spot in Tampa Bay (25.6 K% vs RHP), but the Rays have some power (37.3 Hard% at home). Kluber may have the better overall matchup (Rockies 81 wRC+ on the road, 80 wRC+ vs RHP). Their Statcast batted ball rates are almost identical (both have an 86.5 mph aEV and 5% Barrels/BBE). The Daily K Predictor gives Sale a bit of a lead (10.5 to 9.12) with no other pitcher projected above six strikeouts tonight. The RotoGrinders Player Projections have them separated by less than a quarter of the point and there is very little separation in cost on either site. Bonus points to any player who can fit them both into the same DraftKings lineup. Those looking for a cheaper secondary pitcher could consider Austin Pruitt, who has fared decently in starts in the Bronx and Houston, but does have a 13.2 K-BB% even if most of it has been out of the bullpen. He costs $5.2K on DraftKings. J.A. Happ struck out a season high 10 White Sox in seven innings last time out. He has a 15.1 K-BB% and may be in a better spot than many players realize for just over $7K, hosting the Yankees (90 wRC+ vs LHP, 21.5 K-BB% and 0.0 Hard-Soft% over the last week). Dallas Keuchel is in a great spot as well. The White Sox have a 23.8 K-BB% over the last week, but he costs more than $10K on DraftKings and has struck out and walked five each in two starts since returning from the DL. He did have a 60 GB% and 0.0 Hard-Soft% in his last start though. Carlos Quintana is in San Francisco (78 wRC+ at home, 83 wRC+ vs LHP). He's allowed five HRs over his last three starts, but the Giants have just a 5.9 HR/FB at home. Quintana's 8.7 SwStr% struggles to support his 26 K%. Zack Godley has the same K% with a 14.0 SwStr% and 56.1 GB%, but hosts the Dodgers (39 Hard% over the last week).
