Hyun-Jin Ryu FD 7200 DK 9300
Opponent - NYM (Matz) Park - @NYM
FD - 30.52 DK - 20.19

We touched on Lester and Archer in the main picks article and they both remain stellar options at the top of the board. In this one, we'll take a look at two arms who deserve some attention in tournaments. Starting with Hyun-Jin Ryu and the Dodgers, who hold a -178 line over the Mets. Ryu hasn't been the best he's ever been this year, but he's been very solid. His numbers against lefties are held down by a .394 BABIP and that will
Be over very soon. He strikes out around 8 per 9 and does a great job of limiting the big inning. Ryu isn't very safe in any format, but he's cheap enough and has the upside against the Mets. The Mets are a left-handed heavy lineup who strike out a lot and hit homers. Ryu won't have a clean slate, but could get close. He's a great play in tournaments and can be considered in low-end cash games as well

Jameson Taillon FD 7300 DK 8000
Opponent - SD (Richard) Park - @PIT
FD - 34.42 DK - 22.63

Jameson Taillon is the ultimate tournament play tonight. After getting obliterated in each of his last 2 starts, nobody will be on him. Taillon is still one of the top prospects in baseball and there's a high chance he ends up a strong ace or 2. We will look back at these 2 games as hiccups, not the regular. He's going to start fgutring things out again and I wouldnt' be surprised to see it here against the Padres. He's been great against righties and struggled a bit to lefties. As expected. The Padres are obviously one of the best matchups in all of baseball. We saw Gerrit Cole be popular last night and he ended up having a fine game for cash. Taillon is going to be about 5% owned here and could easily have a huge GPP performance.
