PJ Conlon Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

P.J. Conlon may make some sense at the minimum cost on DraftKings if paying up for Stephen Strasburg as well, but he's here simply because Jacob deGrom could not pitch and it was his day. His strikeout rate has been between 18.8% and 20.4% at every stop in the minors (A through AAA) since 2016, while good control has often made the 24 year-old, 13th round pick occasionally effective. He may be a bit over-matched, but the Reds probably don’t know a darn thing about him either. Never the less, their 4.67 implied run line is in a group of nine teams within a 4.4 to 4.8 range at the top of the board. It's a power friendly park and a lineup with three dangerous bats against southpaws in Joey Votto (139 wRC+, .406 xwOBA, .201 ISO vs LHP last calendar year), Eugenio Suarez (130 wRC+, .230 ISO) and Adam Duvall (111 wRC+, .246 ISO). Another factor in favor of Votto here is that the Mets only have a single LHP in their bullpen.
