Pitchers

Kyle Hendricks FD 9000 DK 7800
Opponent - STL (Wacha) Park - @CHC
FD - 33.59 DK - 22.03

We touched on Chris Sale and Justin Verlander in the main picks article and both of those guys remain very much in play. We now have 2 guys who are aren't quite as good plays, but will be lower owned and have the ability to have a very solid game. Kyle Hendricks has been coming around as of late and remains one of the safer options when on the mound. While he's not going to strikeout 10 or go 9 innings, he will usually go around 6-7 innings and K 6-8. His price is a lot lower than it should be and on DraftKings, he maybe a play in cash games. The Cardinals lineup is not very good and in Wrigley Field, they should struggle. While there are plenty of guys with the ability hurt Hendricks, the Cardinals have struck out 21% of the time and have been much worse on the road. 5-9 in this order is very weak, with Yadier Molina being the only guy who has much of a chance to put one out. On FanDuel, I don't think Hendricks is necessary. He is too expensive and it just makes more sense to go Sale or Verlander. All in all, Hendricks is pretty safe and makes for a very nice play on DraftKings, where he is far too cheap.
Jose Berrios FD 9200 DK 8000 
Opponent - LAA (Nolasco) Park - @LAA
FD - 26.48 DK - 17.61

Jose Berrios was one of the top prospects in baseball  for the past few years and we're now seeing why. He has ace stuff and is already throwing quality games on the regular. He's posted a great .271 wOBA  against both lefties and righties and you can make the case for him n both cash and tournaments at his low DK price. This Angels lineup is absolutely horrible without Mike Trout ad we should be targeting them. Albert Pujols is the only plus hitter and he strikes out 26% of the time against righties. Angels Stadium is a great park for pitchers and Berrios has proven has ability to pitch in big parks. He has a high enough K rate to win you a tournaments and has a floor that should keep you in play for cash games. I'm not going to dive into this lineup and talk about how bad it is. Just look at it. Luis Valbuena is the 4 hitter and Yunel Escobar leads off. That should tell you enough. Don't be afraid to take a shot on Berrios.
