Pitchers

Alex Wood FD 8600 DK 9100
Opponent - CIN (Adleman) Park - @CIN
FD - 30.11 DK - 16.22

Looking at the Vegas lines this morning, Alex Wood and the Dodgers are currently the biggest favorites(-168) on the slate. He is priced right in the same range as Carlos Carrasco on both sites and which should help spread the ownership out and looking at the overall numbers, Wood also has the edge over Carrasco in a few key areas starting with the matchup. While the Twins and Reds have similar handedness splits, the Twins have been rolling lately and have a wOBA over 100 points higher than the Reds over the last seven days and have struck out 6% less. Alex Wood has been very impressive as he builds his pitch count up and has held opponents to one earned run or less in six of his nine starts and enters tonight's matchup with an elite 11.2 K/9 rate and 12.5% swinging strike rate. The park factor is a bit of a worry as Great American Ballpark is one of the best hitters parks in the league but Wood has also been terrific in limiting power with a 21.5% hard contact rate against and 4% HR/FB rate. At a value price in the mid $8K-$9K range, Wood is a great play in all formats.

Joe Biagini FD 7700 DK 6900
Opponent - CHW (Quintana) Park - @TOR
FD - 25.15 DK - 12.45

Taking a trip down to value town we find Joe Biagini of the Jays who was converted into a starter at the beginning of May. As a Jays fan, I was not optimistic about him building up his pitch count and staying in the rotation for long but he has proved me wrong. He has been very serviceable through his seven starts and has only given up more than three earned runs once. He isn't going to provide tournament winning upside with an average 7.5 K/9 rate but gets a plus matchup vs. a White Sox team that ranks 28th in wOBA and wRC+ vs. right-handed pitching. The matchup combined with savings makes him a viable SP2 cash game option on Draftkings if you are going heavy on Scherzer.
