Jarred Cosart Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

On the season, Jarred Cosart has strikeout rates below 16% versus both LHBs and RHBs. Generally, pitching to contact in Colorado is a bad strategy, especially if you are a right-handed pitcher who will face the likes of Charlie Blackmon. Blackmon is always a dual threat for power and stolen bases, holding an ISO of 0.278 against righties this year which feels unfair given his 7.0 speed on FanGraphs. Over the last week, Blackmon is whiffing only 17% of the time and should have upside regardless of the game situation. He can steal a base in a close game and swing freely in a slugfest, making him an elite option at the leadoff position.

Jarred Cosart has no upside in a 14.2 K%, but the issue is that he has a 65.8 GB% in 49 innings this year and has kept batters from either side on the ground on more than 60% of batted balls. The Red Sox are projected for a middling 4.6 runs in a difficult environment without David Ortiz and aren't very cheap here. This is a matchup players could consider fading tonight.
