Carlos Carrasco FD 8700 DK 11800
Opponent - KC (Duffy) Park - @CLE
FD - 34.04 DK - 22.5

In the main picks article, Jerry touch on 3 very viable guys. They remain my 3 favorite and I will have most of my exposure to them. After that top tier, we do have to dig a little bit. While Carrasco is a fantastic pitcher and he can throw a CGSO anytime, this isn't the perfect match-up. The Royals don't strike out a lot and they hit a lot better on the road. With that being said, this is still Carlos Carrasco pitching at home against an average offense. He's also struck out 26 in his last 3 games, so he can get K's' against these guys. He just might not get 10 or 11 like he does against the Rays or Orioles. All in all, I see Carrasco as a solid, yet underwhelming option. If I'm going to pay the price, I prefer Archer and Darvish. If you want to get crazy in tournaments, Carrasco does give you the upside. This just might not be the right night.

Tanner Roark FD 7800 DK 7800
Opponent - NYM (Milone) Park - @WSH
FD - 30.49 DK - 20.12

This one just comes down to the match-up. After the big 3 and Carrasco, pitching is an absolute mess. When trying to figure out who to put here, guys like Patrick Corbin and Charlie Moton almost made it, so that tells you how we're looking. I decided to go with Tanner Roark, who is facing off with the pitiful New York Mets. The Mets, who only have 3 players left from opening day, are what we call a dumpster fire. Or maybe the entire landfill. This Mets lineup is porous as can be and a veteran like Roark should have no problem working through it. Nationals Park is spacious and just about the same as Citi Field. The Mets current hitters strikeout 26% of the time and hold a .301 wOBA against righties, coming in 2nd worst in the last 30 days. Roark is cheap, safe, and I doubt he's more than 15% owned. I'm willing to take a shot in both cash games and tournaments.
