Kyle Hendricks FD 8600 DK 9400
Opponent - MIL (Suter) Park - @MIL
FD - 29.89 DK - 19.79

There are quite a few ways to go at pitcher on this early slate, and most of them were touched on in the main picks article. Kyle Hendricks is really the only guy left that's worth talking about. THe Brewers have the ability put some lefties in their lineup finally, but it hasn't turned into any production. They have still ranked 26th in the league against righties since the ASB and strikeout as much as anyone at 24.5%. Miller Park is a pretty average ballpark and much tougher for lefties to hit in. THe Cubs are still securing the division lead, so this game against the Brewers is absolutely crucial. Hendricks should see around 100 pitches and I do think he's pretty safe. I don't mind him in any format, but I'll get my exposure in cash games. His price is fair and I don't think many will be on him. I expect the Cubs to get to Brent Suter early and for the win to be up for grabs. Consider Hendricks if you're looking for a pivot.

Chad Bettis FD 6200 DK 6700
Opponent - SD (Chacin) Park - @SD
FD - 27.58 DK - 18.27

On this late slate, you can go a lot of different ways. I do think Strasburg is the top option and I'll have a lot of him in cash games. There is another guy I like, though, in San Diego. Chad Bettis is facing off with the Padres, who we know can be taken advantage of by righties. Bettis is way too cheap on both sites and I'm willing to play him in both formats. Bettis has definitely shown some struggles on the season, but most of them have been caused by the Coors Field elevation. He held a .334 wOBA against righties dating back to 2016 and has also struck out close to 9 batters per 9. They're favored to win this game and I think they will. Jhoulys Chacin struggles against lefties and the Rockies have plenty of them. Take a shot on Bettis if you need a flier in tournaments.
