Pitching Targets

Note: We discussed Drew Smyly, David Price and Carlos Carrasco in the Main Article and will be going over a few more options below.

Pitching Targets

Early Slate

Dylan Bundy FD 7300 DK 8300
Opponent - TB (Smyly) Park - @TB
FD - 30.24 DK - 20.31

I wrote about the opposing pitcher Drew Smyly in the main article and mentioned the run line slightly favoring the home team today. This is exactly why we provide articles the night before for early reading and analysis and then feed you more info throughout the day leading up to lineup lock. The run line has swayed slightly in Batimore's favor with the Rays projected for a low 3.6 runs. Bundy is definitely in play today with the positive park shift and 8.44 K/9 rate.

Evening Slate

Jameson Taillon FD 7400 DK 9200
Opponent - STL (Leake) Park - @PIT
FD - 29.87 DK - 19.91

Taillon is an excellent pivot off the elite options tonight if you want to go more balanced at the position. He is viable in all formats as he provides some safety with a low walk rate(1.3 BB/9) and 3.28 xFIP. In 14 starts in his rookie season he has recorded 11 Quality Starts and an elite 54% ground ball rate. The matchup isn't perfect facing the Cardinals but the price and peripheral numbers suggest he should have some success tonight.

Mike Montgomery FD 6100 DK 4300
Opponent - MIL (Garza) Park - @MIL
FD - 29.07 DK - 18.83

We talked about Montgomery a bit on the podcast this morning and Doug sold me on the fact that Montgomery is a viable option at an extreme punt price on DraftKings. For him us to be happy with his performance today we realistically only need to get 10+ points. It is more about being able to roster Price or Carrasco and still get a nice chunk of Coors Field bats. Definitely only an option in GPP's if you are making multiple lineups.

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 and NFL eBooks that you really ought to check out before setting even a single daily fantasy NFL or MLB lineup. They're free, below.
