Pitchers

Dan Straily FD 7400 DK 7100
Opponent - ATL (Gohara) Park - @MIA
FD - 29.92 DK - 15.16

From a value perspective, Straily is my top SP2 on DraftKings tonight and makes an excellent GPP pivot off the top guys on FanDuel. He has been somewhat inconsistent this season with a 4.08 ERA and 4.68 xFIP but rebounded in a big way after being blown out for eight earned vs. the Phillies two weeks back. In two starts since, he has been electric allowing just two earned total, striking out 17 batters which were huge considering he also walked seven batters. The walks haven't been a real problem all season(2.8 BB/9) so I am not concerned it will continue but he does get a nice matchup tonight and should be able to hit value with a low to mid $7K price on both sites.

Charlie Morton FD 8900 DK 7900
Opponent - BOS (Fister) Park - @BOS
FD - 31.23 DK - 16.23

While I trust Straily in all formats tonight vs. the Braves, Morton is much more of a GPP only target facing a highly motivated Red Sox team that can clinch the AL East with a win. I think the matchup leaves Morton very low owned tonight which is good news considering there is a fairly high floor and ceiling. He has been a very consistent piece for the Astros in 2017 with a 3.63 ERA, 3.61 xFIP and has the upside with a 10.13 K/9 rate. He has also been terrific down the stretch in September allowing two or fewer earned runs in all four starts with 29 strikeouts.
