Pitchers Dylan Cease FD - P 10900 DK - SP 10400 Opponent - KC (Zack Greinke) Park - KC FD - 43.63 DK - 24.55 The American League Cy Young race is heating up and it's not that Verlander is slipping but more that Cease is on a historical pace at the moment. He comes into Thursday having held opponents to one or fewer earned runs in 13 straight starts(.59 ERA) while striking out 31% of batters and he has also picked up a win in seven of his last eight. He now faces a bottom 10 Royals offence and while they don't K much overall(21%), Cease has dominated them twice with 18 total strikeouts. He is our top pitcher and once again an elite play in all formats. Merrill Kelly FD - P 10100 DK - SP 9100 Opponent - PIT (JT Brubaker) Park - ARI FD - 33.53 DK - 17.81 The D-Backs won't be playing in October this season but they are definitely building a core that should contend in years to come and veteran Merill Kelly has and will continue to be a big part of that. He hasn't quite been Cease-level good but has still been very good lately holding opponents to two or fewer earned runs in seven straight starts(1.49 ERA). He also gets arguably the best matchup on the board against the struggling Pirates who rank bottom three in almost all statistical categories including strikeouts(25% K rate). The price has peaked but I am fully invested on this smaller slate in all formats. Also Consider: Zach Plesac(CLE) as a value SP2 on DraftKings Catcher/First Base C.J. Cron FD 4300 DK 5000 Opponent - STL (Dakota Hudson) Park - COL FD - 15.95 DK - 11.99 If you have the salary, paying up for MVP odds leader, Paul Goldschmidt, presents the most upside but he also comes at a huge cost. For cash games, I will turn to the other dugout in this game and roll with C.J. Cron who has been just as good or better in the short term as he enters with hits in five straight and eight of his last 10 games including seven extra-base hits. He is also on pace to set a new career high in home runs(23 coming into tonight) and more importantly sits 7th overall with 80 runs batted in this season. With salary cap in mind,...

Pitchers Chris Bassitt FD - P 10400 DK - SP 9300 Opponent - CIN (Justin Dunn) Park - NYM FD - 41.78 DK - 22.97 Despite Jacob deGrom making just two starts this season, the Mets have a Top 5 starting rotation in terms of ERA(3.58) and a lot can be attributed to Chris Bassitt who came over from Oakland in the offseason. While the strikeout upside has been league-average(24%), he has been very consistent going into the sixth inning or deeper in eight straight starts thanks to a near-elite walk rate(6.6%). The Reds have been sneaky good recently winning six of their last eight but still rank bottom 10 in wOBA and wRC+ while striking out nearly 25% of the time and have been considerably worse against right-handed pitching. All things considered, he is our top arm on this slate. Zac Gallen FD - P 9600 DK - SP 7900 Opponent - PIT (Tyler Beede) Park - ARI FD - 32.01 DK - 17.13 Gallen has been one of the few bright spots for the rebuilding D-Backs in 2022 thanks to a somewhat transformation in his game. He is throwing fewer fastballs and more offspeed and while that has hurt his overall K upside(23.3% K rate), he has been more consistent with fewer walks, flyballs, and home runs which has led to a 3.31 ERA overall. What really stands out here is the matchup as he faces a Pirates team that ranks dead last in wOBA(.267) and wRC+(70) in the second half while striking our nearly 26% of the time. Finally, he is in play on both sites tonight but especially stands out on DraftKings where the price is back in the sub $8K range. Catcher/First Base Vladimir Guerrero Jr. FD - 1B 4300 DK - 1B 6200 Opponent - BAL (Jordan Lyles) Park - BAL FD - 14.65 DK - 11.04 We definitely have some tough decisions to make on this smaller slate as we have a plethora of high-priced talent and it starts at first base. First up is Vladdy who extended his season-long hit streak to 18 games on Sunday and in that time is hitting .420 with a .487 wOBA, 223 wRC+ and surprisingly has also added four stolen bases! On Monday, he gets a matchup against Jordan Lyles who has been better in the second half but still sits with a 4.40 ERA/4.45 xFIP and...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Pitchers Carlos Rodón FD 10600 DK 9500 Opponent - OAK (Adam Oller) Park - OAK FD - 41.24 DK - 23.03 The Giants opted to keep their ace rather than trade him at the deadline and will now focus on the NL wildcard. Rodon enters the second half with an above-average 3.06 ERA but what really stands out for fantasy is the elite 32% K rate and 14% swinging strike rate. On Saturday he faces an A’s team that has been better in the second half but still ranks bottom five overall and bottom three against left-handed pitching. All things considered, Rodon is my top play on the mound tonight, especially on DraftKings where the price remains under $10K. Nathan Eovaldi FD 8300 DK 7300 Opponent - KC (Daniel Lynch) Park - KC FD - 34.19 DK - 18.62 After getting lit up in his final two starts before the break, Eovaldi bounced back in a big way on Monday holding the Astros to four hits and just two unearned runs over 6.1 innings. He will look to carry that over into a terrific matchup against the Royals who have dropped eight of their last 11 games while scoring just 2.8 runs per game and striking out 28% of the time. Despite the matchup and his latest start, Eovaldi comes to us at a season-low price on DraftKings making him our top SP2 on this slate. Catcher/First Base Vladimir Guerrero Jr. FD 4100 DK 5300 Opponent - MIN (Dylan Bundy) Park - MIN FD - 12.73 DK - 9.59 Vladdy has put his slow start in the rearview and is back to his 2021 MVP-like status as he enters the night with a 16-game hitting streak and is now hitting .318 with an elite .406 wOBA since the start of June. He and the Jays now get a plus matchup against Dylan Bundy who struggled going into the break giving up three or more earned runs in four straight starts in July(6.98 ERA). The price has come back up but Vlad is still only the fifth most expensive play at first base(on DK) tonight. I will have a ton of exposure in all formats. Brandon Belt FD 2500 DK 3000 Opponent - OAK (Adam Oller) Park - OAK FD - 10.95 DK - 8.16 There is most certainly a path to paying up for two stud pitchers on this slate and...

The Course TPC Southwind Par 70 - 7,130 Yards Greens - Bermuda **Click the image above to see a hole-by-hole breakdown from PGATour.com** Previous Five Winners 2021 - Kevin Kisner(-15) 2020 - Jim Herman(-21) 2019 - J.T. Poston(-22) 2018 - Brandt Snedeker(-21) 2017 - Henrik Stenson(-22) Top Targets Sungjae Im FedEx Cup Rank (#15) Vegas Odds (18/1) Draftkings ($10,500) FanDuel ($11,300) Im appears back in form after a runner-up finish at the 3M Open where he combined some elite ball-striking(+10.7 strokes gained) with a hot putter(+3.8 strokes gained). He now returns to Sedgefield CC where he has enjoyed nothing but success with a T24, T9, and T6 in three trips and what really stands out is the fact he leads the outright odds market yet is fourth in fantasy pricing on FanDuel and DraftKings. All things considered, Im is my favourite top-tier DFS play this week in all formats. Denny McCarthy FedEx Cup Rank (#40) Vegas Odds (35/1) Draftkings ($8,900) FanDuel ($9,800) I am high on a balanced approach this week and will have a lot of exposure to both Si Woo and McCarthy but if choosing just one, I lean toward the latter for a couple of reasons. First of all, both are in play for cash and I will likely pair them together but for GPP, in my opinion, we are going to get an ownership discount on Denny after missed cuts in two of his last three events including last week at the Rocket Mortgage where he was higher owned. I am not concerned as he surrounded those MC's with three Top 10 finishes and has made 19 of his last 22 cuts overall. While he hasn't had the same success as Si Woo here at Sedgefield, he has still been good making the cut all four trips with a Top 10 and three Top...

Pitchers Max Scherzer FD 11500 DK 10600 Opponent - WSH (Patrick Corbin) Park - WSH FD - 44.82 DK - 25.51 Since returning from injury in early July, Max has been back to his dominant self allowing just five earned runs over his last five starts(1.39 ERA) while adding 45 strikeouts(36% K rate) and just four walks. The dominance should continue as he faces his old team who, outside of the Pirates and maybe the Tigers, has been the worst offence in baseball, especially in the second half. They may not K a lot but also could be without their top hitter in Juan Soto who could be traded as early as today. The price is where it should be on FanDuel but considering we have seen multiple pitchers reach $11K on DraftKings this season, Max is actually coming a bit too cheap here. He is easily our top pitcher in all formats tonight. Michael Kopech FD 8200 DK 7000 Opponent - KC (Brad Keller) Park - KC FD - 26.25 DK - 13.91 To say this isn't the season we expected from Kopech would be an understatement. The biggest issue has been the command of the strike zone which has both lowered the swing and misses while elevating the walk rate. It isn't all doom and gloom, however, as he comes into tonight having held opponents to two or fewer earned runs in three straight and has reached a near season-low price on both sites. On top of that, he faces a Royals' team that ranks bottom 10 offensively and have dropped five of their last six games. All things considered, Kopech is my top SP2 on DraftKings which allows us to spend up for some bats in terrific spots. Lock and load in all formats. Catcher/First Base Anthony Rizzo FD 3700 DK 4500 Opponent - SEA (Marco Gonzales) Park - SEA FD - 12.03 DK - 9.05 The Mets and Yankees lead all teams in projected scoring tonight and we will start with the latter who are surprisingly more affordable to stack, at least the top of the order. I turn to Rizzo first and don't get discouraged by the lefty/lefty matchup as he is excellent in the split with a .360 wOBA/137 wRC+ on the season and better yet, comes in red-hot with home runs in back-to-back games with multiple hits in three of his last five. It...
