Pitchers

Jordan Montgomery FD 7500 DK 8000
Opponent - TB (Faria) Park - @NYY
FD - 30.22 DK - 19.95

We touched on Drew Pomeranz in the main picks article and he remains a top option. This main slate doesn't have much pitching, so you have to be careful with where you go and what bats will follow you .We're going to take a look Jordan Montgomery against the Rays. Montgomery has been quite good this season, emerging as a weapon for the Yanks. He's striking out about her 7 batters per 9 innings and has been super effective against both sides of the plate. The Rays enter the main slate with an implied total of 3.85, which is the 2nd lowest. Longoria and Souza are obviously dangerous against lefties, but that's really it. The rest of the order is very boring and one I'm constantly looking to pick on.

Madison Bumgarner FD 10100 DK 9700
Opponent - LAD (Ryu) Park - @LAD
FD - 27.98 DK - 19.06

Moving on to this later slate, you have to take a look at Madison Bumgarner, while I wouldn't touch him in a cash game at his price, the appeal is there in tournaments. If Bumgarner is pitching well, there's always a chance of him having a crazy night. He has definitely stumbled a bit as of late, but has remained the same pitcher underneath those struggles. He's held both lefties and righties to a sub .300 wOBA and typically strikes out around 10-11 per 9 innings. The Dodgers are always going to be a tough offense, but they are much better against righties. Nearly everyone in the Dodgers lineup is worse against lefties, with the exception of some platoon bats. The likes of Corey Seager and Cody Bellinger should be greatly minimized here. MadBum is expensive and if you're paying down elsewhere, take a shot on an arm who can change the slate.
