Pitching Targets

Note: We discussed Zack Greinke and Ubaldo Jimenez in the Main Article. And will be going over a few more options below.

Jose QuintanaJose Quintana FD 8800 DK 10400
Opponent - MIN (Gibson) Park - @CHW
FD - 34.25 DK - 22.46

By now you all know how much I love Jose Quintana, but this isn't exactly a favorites pick. He has a gorgeous price tag ($8,800 on Fanduel) and has a beautiful matchup against the Twins. On the year, the Twins have struggled against southpaws. They are coming into this contest with a .306 wOBA (25th in MLB) to go along with a 24.5 K% (3rd in MLB). The upside is through the roof for Quintana and being heavy favorites will help him out even more. So do yourself a favor and pickup the GOAT and his 2.95 FIP on your DFS squads.

Corey KluberCorey Kluber FD 10800 DK 13400
Opponent - ATL (Wisler) Park - @ATL
FD - 38.14 DK - 25.19

Corey Kluber is next on my list. He's a little pricy to say the least, but there are so many options when it comes to bats, that I don't mind paying his price tag.

We all know the drill. The Braves are awful offensively and playing at spacious Tuner Field won't help them out, but the problem with going against them is that they don't strikeout a whole lot. They own a K% under 20%, which will hurt any pitcher, even Kluber that owns a 25.1 K%. He should be able to deliver a quality start and with is team being heavy favorites increase his chances to pick up a win. I think Kluber is an excellent cash-game play tonight.

Rick PorcelloRick Porcello FD 8400 DK 10300
Opponent - TB (Archer) Park - @TB
FD - 33.18 DK - 22.23

Rick Porcello is my third and final guy on the list. He's an excellent GPP option on today's slate. He's been able to keep the walks down this season (4.8 BB%), which has been his secret to a solid start to the 2016 campaign. None of his periphials really stick out to me, but I do love the matchup against the Rays.

On the year, the Rays own a .304 wOBA (24th in MLB) and 25.0 K% (2nd in MLB). I know Rick Porcello isn't know for fanning hitters (20.3 K%), but a matchup against the Rays will certainly help and has upside in this contest. If you want to be different, Porcello is one way to do it.

 

So yeah, baseball season! And we've got some goodies you can take with you. At the end of the post, we have our MLB eBook that you really ought to check out before setting even a single daily fantasy MLB lineup. It's free, below.
