Pitchers

Marcus Stroman FD 8600 DK 9000
Opponent - BAL (Miley) Park - @TOR
FD - 31.63 DK - 20.92

We touched on Stephen Strasburg and Ivan Nova in the main picks article and they remain phenomenal plays in both cash games and tournaments. We'll now move onto Marcus Stroman, who was added as the starting pitcher a bit late. He faces off with the Orioles, a team that strikes out a ton. They have held a 24% K rate dating back to 2016 against lefties and they are still the same team. Chris Davis, Mark Trumbo, and Manny Machado all have the ability to K 3 times and while they may park 1 in the seats, it'll even out. The rest of the order is filled with guys like Trey Mancini and Welington Castillo, who hold high K rates and are very boom or bust. Marcus Stroman is a very good young pitcher and has been seeing very bad luck against righties (.344 BABIP). He strikes out close to 8 per 9 innings and is a pretty safe cash game option against most teams. In this match-up, reserve Stroman for tournaments. The Orioles are a very boom or bust team and it'll rub off onto Stroman. Don't be afraid to take a shot, however, as he can have one of his best games in a while. Let's take a look at an even cheaper option

Hyun-Jin Ryu FD 7000 DK 7400
Opponent - LAA (Meyer) Park - @LAA
FD - 26.74 DK - 17.71

Ugh, I never wanted to play this guy again. He's a pretty tough one to gauge, but used to be a very consistent and good pitcher. In 2014, Ryu posted a sub .290 wOBA against both lefties and righties. He has definitely gotten about 100 injuries since then and is not the same pitcher he once was. With that being said, he's shown some great signs as of late and may be getting some of his old tools back. He certainly gets the right match-up to get it done, as the Angels are certainly one of the worst offenses in the entire league. They have posted a .312 wOBA against lefties in the last 30 and are striking out at a top 10 clip. Ryu is definitely a risky bet, but he's cheap and may be able to get it done. All in all, Ryu is probably not going to find his way into my lineups. I definitely prefer Stroman, Strasburg, and Nova.
