That's what us baseball fans have been looking forward to and it's exciting to see what these teams are doing in such a quick sprint of a season. This weird scenario has teams as monster favorites on every slate because the games matter more than ever. Our two pitchers are going to be two of those big favorites, so, let's kick things off with Patrick Corbin! Pitchers Patrick Corbin FD - P 10600 DK - SP 10500 Opponent - BAL (Asher Wojciechowski) Park - BAL FD - 37.53 DK - 20.45 There are a lot of pitchers who have struggled to find their groove in this shortened season but Corbin is not one of them. The southpaw is pitching to a 2.50 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 18 innings of action, striking out 20 batters. That's not far off of his recent averages, attaining a 3.17 ERA and 1.11 WHIP dating back to 2018. All of that makes him a very attractive against the Orioles, with Baltimore ranked 22nd in OBP and 26th in OPS last season. They've been much better this year but we're likely looking at Corbin entering this matchup as a -190 favorite as well. Cristian Javier FD - P 7800 DK - SP 7400 Opponent - SEA (Nick Margevicius) Park - HOU FD - 35.87 DK - 18.64 This dude is honestly very impressive. The lefty is currently pitching to a 3.82 SIERA and 0.89 WHIP this season. His minor league numbers were even more ridiculous, posting a 2.23 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in his minor league career. That doesn't even take into consideration that he posted a K rate north of 30 percent at that level and owns a 27 percent rate in the Majors. All of that is very intriguing against a team like the Mariners, who own a .304 OBP and .671 OPS this year. This is why Javier and the Astros enter this matchup as a -215 favorite. You won't want to go there on FanDuel, but he looks very attractive in the pitcher two slot on DraftKings. Catcher/First Base Matt Olson FD - 1B 3600 DK - 1B 4900 Opponent - SF (Kevin Gausman) Park - SF FD - 10.5 DK - 7.82 While Olson has struggled with his average this season, seven dingers in 20 games is an...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! This shortened season has been nuts and it's crazy to say that we're nearly a third of the way through the year. That's hard to fathom and it really shows just how important every game is right now. That has me wanting to pick high-floor pitchers and high-upside offenses because these teams need big performances from their aces. With that in mind, let's kick things off with two of them! Pitchers Sonny Gray FD - P 10800 DK - SP 9600 Opponent - PIT (Chad Kuhl) Park - CIN FD - 34.27 DK - 18.13 Sonny for Cy Young? That would have sounded crazy if you said that a third of the way into last season but Gray looks like the stud we remember from his Oakland days. Through four starts this season, Sonny is pitching to a 2.25 ERA and 0.92 WHIP while striking out 35 batters across just 24 innings of action. Those are easily the best numbers of his career and we have to love it against a team like the Pirates. Pittsburgh currently owns a .273 OBP and .601 OPS ,which are easily the worst marks in the Majors. All of that has Gray and the Reds entering this matchup as a -210 favorite. Frankie Montas FD - P 8800 DK - SP 8400 Opponent - SF (Johnny Cueto) Park - SF FD - 35.03 DK - 18.17 Montas took down Player of the Week honors last week and appears to be back to his 2019 form. Dating back to last season, the right-hander is pitching to a 2.42 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. His numbers are even more sparkling this year and he's providing a 9.1 K/9 rate in that span as well. Those special numbers look even better against an offense like this, with the Giants ranked bottom-five in runs scored and OPS since the beginning of last season. That doesn't even take into consideration how pitcher-friendly ORACLE Park is. All of this has the A's entering this matchup as a -185 favorite with a total of eight. That means the Giants are projected for about three runs. Catcher/First Base Joey Votto FD - 1B 3200 DK - 1B 4400 Opponent - PIT (Chad Kuhl) Park - CIN FD - 12.07 DK - 9.09 Is Votto back to being a stud? Probably not, but he is showing flashes this season. A .369 OBP and three dingers in 15 games...
