Pitchers

Dylan Bundy FD 8100 DK 7800
Opponent - TB (Cobb) Park - @BAL
FD - 32.64 DK - 21.5

With Syndergaard being scratched and the Cardinals game being washed out, we look towards Dylan Bundy. Bundy has been terrific all season long, posting a combined ..236 wOBA along with a 17% hard contact rate. Bundy is a huge prospect and while a lot of people thought it would take him a few years to put it together, it looks like that process may have been hurried. With that being said, the sample size is extremely small this year and I'm a bit hesitant to go all in. The Rays do strikeout a ton and have ranked top 3 against righties for 2 straight seasons. His price is very low on both sites and I don't know if I see a way around him on DraftKings. They have much a much stricter salary cap than FanDuel and pitching is pretty hard to come by. Camden Yards is a hitter's ballpark and the Rays do have a chance to hit an HR or two. While we aren't expecting a clean slate, I do think Bundy strikes out 6 or 7 and goes long enough for the win. Bundy is currently my top option in both cash games and tournaments with Syndergaard and Martinez being out.

Johnny Cueto FD 9600 DK 11100
Opponent - LAD (Wood) Park - @SF
FD - 34.62 DK - 22.77

With Syndergaard out, I have no problem going with Johnny Cueto, who is generally safe. Even when he has a bad start, he eats a ton of innings and ends up striking out enough batters to get it done. The Los Angeles Dodgers are a good team against righties but also moves into AT&T Park, which is likely the absolute worst stadium in the league for hitting. Dating back to 2016, Cueto sported a .276 combined wOBA along with an elite 24% strikeout rate. The price is high, though still cheaper than you would be paying for Syndergaard. While Cueto really isn't a guy I'm in love with, you don't have much of an option tonight. I will certainly have a ton of Cueto in tournaments as there are some value options I like in the OF. The Giants should be able to score on Alex Wood, who has struggled against righties for a while. All in all, I definitely like Bundy more for the price. I just don't feel comfortable paying down for anyone and you can be sure Cueto doesn't burn you.
