Pitchers

Gio Gonzalez FD 9100 DK 11300
Opponent - ATL (Foltynewicz) Park - @WSH
FD - 32.23 DK - 21.21

We looked at Chris Sale and Robbie Ray in the main picks article. They're still the 2 best options and will be in the majority of my cash games and tournaments. We'll now look at 2 other guys who are actually somewhat viable in tournaments, but are also a bit riskier. Gio Gonzalez, by nature, comes with risk. Even in games he ends up dominating, Gonzalez will find a way to work a huge pitch count and will often find himself in trouble multiple time each game, just to work himself out of it. He does see the Braves tonight, however, so I'm not too sure how much damage they will even be able to do. Freddie Freeman is back, but he's worse against lefties and Gio has been dominant against them. He's held lefties to a .218 wOBA and is striking out about 1 per innings. He has been slightly worse against righties with a .311 wOBA, but has maintained an even K and walk rate to that against lefties. The Braves are also moving into Nationals Park, which is a big hitting downgrade from SunTrust Park in Atlanta. Personally, Gio is going to be an SP2 in GPP's on DK. However, if you want to get a little crazy on FD, I don't hate it. he's a bit cheaper there and if the other 2 guys do struggle, he could end up with a very solid performance that leads you to the top.

Josh Tomlin FD 7400 DK 6400
Opponent - SD (Lamet) Park - @CLE
FD - 28.61 DK - 18.91

It's basically just whoever the Padres are facing out of this rotation. They can all get it done and Bauer was pretty solid last night, getting touched up for just 2 runs and striking out a ton. We now see Josh Tomlin, who is a bit more of a mystery. His numbers have been horrible on the surface this season, but a .360 BABIP suggests it should all turn around very soon. He will likely end up around the .320-.330 wOBA range, which is about league average. Vegas has the Padres scoring just 3.75 runs tonight, which happens to be one of the lowest implied team totals on the slate. It mostly has to do with how bad the Padres are. Outside of Wil Myers, there isn't anything to be afraid of. They've posted the 3rd worst wOBA in baseball with a .301 and it has only ben going downhill. They strikeout over 25% of the time and don't have nearly enough power to back that number up like the Rangers or Orioles can. Tomlin has strikeout upside and if he's on his game, could provide you a big performance for cheap. With so many other offenses on the slate, Tomlin can give you some great financial freedom.
