Tier A Matt Harvey The best pitcher on the slate is a guy you should definitely have in your lineups no matter which option you choose. Because salary isn’t a concern you don’t need to worry about “fitting” him in. Harvey is a stud who’s picked up right where he left off pre-injury. He’s striking out more than a batter an inning and is able to go deeper in games because of his control. The Marlins are a bottom-third offense against righties this season and Citi Field depresses power all the way around. This one’s a lock on this site today. Cole Hamels Like I said in our main picks article today, I think there is a tendency to avoid the Rockies in pitching matchups because of a carry over effect they get from the Coors’ offensive boost. Don’t let this sway you. They’ve been a bad offense this season and even with the park factor adjustment rank in the lower half of the league against lefties. They are also striking out more than 25% of the time in that split. Bottom line: after some heavy hitters at the top, they aren’t a good team. Hamels is K-ing enough batters though I am a little concerned about the walks. He’s a big money line favorite for the win in this slate and I like him in this tier.   Tier B Taijuan Walker Depending on the style of game you are playing, I do like the advantage of playing pitchers in this tier whenever it’s EV+. With Walker you are getting a chance for to add some points with his strikeout upside. He is K-ing nearly a batter an inning and his xFIP is nearly 2.5 runs less than his 7+ ERA. Now this isn’t to say he is a great arm. Far from it, but this is why he’s in the second tier. The downside is of course that he gets shelled by an Indian team that ranks in the top third of the league against righties. But in a Friday tournament, I think you can take Walker in the event he gets rolling down hill...
