Opponent - MIA (Bryan Hoeing) Park - MIA
FD - 38.07 DK - 20.57
Charlie Morton, a reliable veteran presence on the mound, is starting against the Miami Marlins. With a solid 3.22 ERA in 2023, Morton brings stability and experience to the Braves. In 2022, he pitched 172 innings, holding a 4.343 ERA and striking out 205 batters.
The Marlins come into this matchup with a 27.1% strikeout rate, offering Morton a great chance to rack up some Ks. As a -243 moneyline favorite, he's expected to pick up the win.
Despite his slightly inflated WHIP (1.61), Morton remains a strong option for daily fantasy players, especially given his history of high strikeout numbers. His DK price offers particularly good value. In this favorable matchup against a strikeout-prone Marlins team, don't hesitate to roster Charlie Morton as a solid pitching choice.

With an opponent strikeout rate of 28.1%, Lauer has a favorable matchup to accumulate strikeouts. Additionally, as a -176 moneyline favorite, there's a strong chance for a win, which is vital for fantasy points. Lauer's WHIP of 1.26 this season shows he's been relatively effective at limiting baserunners.
While Lauer's price may seem a bit high, his matchup against a high-strikeout Detroit team offers considerable upside. If you're looking for a pitching option with solid strikeout potential and a decent chance for a win, don't hesitate to consider Eric Lauer in your daily fantasy lineups.
