Jose Quintana FD 8600 DK 9700
Opponent - STL (Wacha) Park - @CHC
FD - 33.83 DK - 22.18

Quintana surely quieted the haters in his first Cubs start, going 7 innings and striking out 12, en route to a victory. It was definitely more strikeouts than he usually grabs, but nothing too crazy. He's always been very consistent, though the influx in strikeouts isn't all that surprising, considering we saw it more than a few times last season. He now faces the Cardinals, a team who is far worse against lefties. We saw Jon Lester shut them down last night and I wouldn't be surprised to see an encore out of Quintana. Matt Carpenter, Dexter Fowler, and Yadier Molina are all worse against left-handers. When you look at the lineup, it's just not very scary. His price is down and with so many elite pitching options, he lets you pay up elsewhere while getting tons of upside and safety. This game will cap the night off and start at 8 PM, which can always make things interesting towards the end of the night. As long as he's pitching well, Maddon will have no problem with a 100-110 pitch outing.

Dinelson Lamet FD 7900 DK 7500
Opponent - SF (Blach) Park - @SF
FD - 27.53 DK - 18.35

Dinelson Lamet is a very scary pitcher to roster and just as scary to recommend. On one hand, he struggles against lefties and is a very erratic pitcher. On the other hand, he has a phenomenal match-up and the upside is through the roof. With an K/9 approaching 13, Lamet has elite K numbers. He's also held opposing bats to a 14% line drive rate, which is elite. He takes on the absolute worst team in the league against righties in the San Francisco Giants. They have held a .290 team wOBA and show no signs of hope. While I would not hope for a clean slate out of Lamet, I'd look for 7 innings, 2 runs, and 10-13 strikeouts. The other stat line for Lamet is 2 innings, 8 runs allowed, and 2 K's. In a tournament, take a shot.
