Pitchers

Mike Clevinger FD 8500 DK 9000
Opponent - DET (Boyd) Park - @DET
FD - 33.87 DK - 17.38

Whether you are looking for an SP2 to pair with Nelson or Cole or a straight up play on FanDuel, Clevinger is in a great spot and should garner your attention. The Indians are currently -170 favorites for game two of the double header today and face a Tigers team that unloaded their top bat, Justin Upton, to the Angels. Clevinger has had some blips on the radar this year but has also shown his potential upside and is coming off his best start of the season where he shutout the Royals over six innings, striking out nine and walking just two. He enters tonight's matchup with a 3.72 ERA and elite 10.3 K/9 rate. He is safe in all formats against a much weaker Tigers lineup than it was yesterday.

Blake Snell FD 7300 DK 8100
Opponent - CHW (Lopez) Park - @CHW
FD - 26.63 DK - 13.41

After a rocky first half(4.85 ERA, .341 wOBA against), Snell has rebounded nicely allowing just a .293 wOBA against and has allowed more than three earned runs just once in eight starts(3.66 ERA). Even against one of the lowest scoring teams in the league, this matchup is not without risk as Snell has been much better vs. left-handed bats and the White Sox can load up with righties at the top and have been much better vs. southpaw pitching this season. The price is right and the ownership should be down with all the options in the mid-tier and Snell also provides a bit of upside and has struck out 15 batters in his last two starts.
