Pitchers

Early Slate

Marcus Stroman FD 8600 DK 11500
Opponent - OAK (Manaea) Park - @TOR
FD - 32.31 DK - 16.53

If you are not comfortable paying the high price for Max which limits the bats you can get in your lineup, pivot to Marcus Stroman. He comes with nowhere near the upside potential but still gets a decent matchup and the Jays are currently -160 favorites. Stroman has a just above average strikeout rate(7.46 K/9) but generates ground balls at a very elite rate(62.4%) and should be able to limit the A's who sit just below league average in wOBA and wRC+ vs. right-handed pitching. Stroman also gets a boost in strikeout upside today as the A's are whiffing at a 25.1% rate vs. righties this season. The extra $2,300 on DraftKings can help get you Nationals bats today and all the bats over on FanDuel as Stroman sits in the mid $8K range.

Main Slate

CC Sabathia FD 7600 DK 7700
Opponent - TB (Archer) Park - @NYY
FD - 28.1 DK - 14.06

The main slate is a mess if you are playing on DraftKings tonight but if you are playing Lester I prefer Sabathia as my Sp2 in the mid $7K range on both sites. It was a rocky start to the season for C.C. but he has really turned it around lately. Since mid-May, he has held opponents to two or less earned runs in eight of his nine starts for an impressive 1.62 ERA and he has also limited the long balls with a 6.8% HR/FB rate. He has faced the Rays twice this year holding them to just one earned run over 10 innings with eight strikeouts. He is in a nice spot to beat them again tonight as the Rays have been a tick worse on the road this year and sit with the third highest K rate(26%) vs. left-handed pitching.
