Daily Fantasy MLB Pitchers for FanDuel & DraftKings 9/14/16

Welcome to our new daily article breaking down some of the other pitching targets on this slate. We covered our system's top value plays in our daily picks article, but here we'll look at a bunch of other solid plays to consider.

In case you didn’t notice, we just released our brand new NFL DFS suite of tools including full projections, optimal NFL lineups and our Player Lab, which includes filters to help you create NFL lineups for FanDuel and DraftKings for any format. It’s a set of tools well beyond anything we’ve ever had, and something we feel will help our users *ahem* tackle the NFL season.

Pitching Targets

Note: We discussed Madison Bumgarner, Jose Fernandez and Anibal Sanchez in the Main Article and will be going over a few more options below.

Pitching Targets

Early Slate

Tanner RoarkTanner Roark FD 8600 DK 8900
Opponent - NYM (Gsellman) Park - @WSH
FD - 30.56 DK - 19.42

Roark is right up there with the aces from a PTS/$ perspective in the early slate. The Nationals are -165 home favorites against the Mets and Roark has regressed a bit in the second half as the K rate has dipped below 7.00 K/9 but he has lowed his ERA by close to half a run. If you are set against fading the aces and their elite pricing today Roark is next in line at a terrific value under $9K on both sites.

Yu DarvishYu Darvish FD 10500 DK 12000
Opponent - HOU (Musgrove) Park - @HOU
FD - 34.7 DK - 22.91

If you can't quite get to Jose Fernandez tonight you need to take a close look at Darvish who is very close to an elite option tonight. Darvish has put together a very impressive season after a late start due to injury. While the record(5-4) doesn't stand out the peripherals sure do as he has recorded a 3.28 ERA, 3.36 xFIP, and elite 11.26 K/9 rate. He faces the Astros tough, young lineup at the right time as they have been struggling lately with a .293 team wOBA and high 24.6% strikeout rate. Darvish is safe in all formats.

Yordano VenturaYordano Ventura FD 8700 DK 6600
Opponent - OAK (Manaea) Park - @KC
FD - 31.27 DK - 20.49

Ventura presents an intriguing option today on the mound.  The Royals are -140 home favorites facing the Athletics who are projected for a very low 3.45 runs tonight. The pick has much more to do with what he gives you access to than it has to do with upside. He doesn't come with much as he strikes out a below average 6.64 batters per nine but produces a high 50.6% ground ball rate. If the Royals can get him some runs early he should be able to cruise to a win and hit value even if he only tallies 5-6 innings pitched.
