Pitching Targets

Note: We discussed Max Scherzer, John Lackey, Chris Sale and Zack Greinke and  in the Main Article and will be going over a few more options below.

Pitching Targets

 

Masahiro Tanaka FD 9300 DK 11200
Opponent - TB (Cobb) Park - @TB
FD - 35.58 DK - 23.8

Tanaka has easily been the Yankees top pitcher this season and a big reason they still have a fighting chance in the American League wildcard. Over his last six starts he has limited opponents to two earned runs or less in all six games while striking out 32 and walking just seven batters. He gets a big park upgrade going to Tropicana Field to face the Rays and Tanaka has been much better on the road with a 2.11 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. The Yankees are -130 favorites today in a game with a very low total(7). Look for the low scoring game where Tanaka is goign to have a great shot at picking up his 14th win of the year.

 

 

 

 

Kenta Maeda FD 9000 DK 9300
Opponent - SF (Moore) Park - @LAD
FD - 32.42 DK - 21.35

The Dodgers are getting closer to clinching the National League West division as their magic number is now down to seven games. They will lean on Kenta Maeda tonight at they sit in a very favorable spot as -160 favorites to their division rivals the Giants. Maeda has been incredibly consistent over the last two months limiting opponents to three earned runs or less in 10 straight starts with a xFIP in the mid 3's and 8.52 K/9 rate. The Giants don't strike out much but rank int eh bottom third of the league in wOBA and wRC+ against right handed pitching. Look for Maeda to get the win and around 5 K's tonight crushing his value on both sites.
