We didn’t get to see this matchup last week as German pitched the Sunday Night Baseball matchup against the Redsox before the series against the O’s. German is coming in with a 15-2 record, and a 4.05 ERA but I chalk that up to the 3 starts he pitched hurt before telling anyone and going on DL. I think German could absolutely dominate the O’s just like all of their pitchers did last series.
Jose Quintana
#62 Throws: Left
Career vs Current Phillies Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 89 | 29.2 | 0.337 | 0.244 | 4.61 |

* Statcast data only available back to 2015
I still can’t get a feel for how Vargas is really going to be as a pitcher. With this being a big slate, don’t feel obligated to have to use either one of these guys. There are better options out there tonight.
Alex Wood
#40 Throws: Left
Career vs Current Nationals Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 68 | 19.1 | 0.435 | 0.403 | 3.94 |

Joe Ross
#41 Throws: Right
Career vs Current Reds Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 21 | 9.5 | 0.294 | 0.263 | 2.25 |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 77.7 | 8.9 | 0.366 | 0.333 | 0.414 |
* Statcast data only available back to 2015
Alex Wood is making his 3rd start of the season where he comes in with a 1-0 record and 5+ ERA. He has only 11 strikeouts and his numbers against Washington are terrible as you can see above. Load up on Nationals’ bats tonight.
Lance Lynn
#35 Throws: Right
Career vs Current Blue Jays Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 39 | 28.2 | 0.281 | 0.182 | 3.87 |
| EV | LA | xwOBA | xBA | xSLG |

Career vs Current Rangers Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |

| 12 | 8.3 | 0.499 | 0.364 | 9.87 |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 85.4 | -0.2 | 0.491 | 0.377 | 0.742 |
* Statcast data only available back to 2015
Lance Lynn has really turned things around while adding pitchers to his arsenal and his numbers this year have shown. He now gets a juicy match-up against the Blue Jays that he has been able to handle. He could be a great pivot option or SP2 on DK tonight.
Chris Sale
#41 Throws: Left
Career vs Current Indians Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 135 | 15.6 | 0.361 | 0.325 | 3.94 |
| EV | LA | xwOBA | xBA | xSLG |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 86.3 | 13.7 | 0.313 | 0.263 | 0.377 |
* Statcast data only available back to 2015
Mike Clevinger
#52 Throws: Right
Career vs Current Red Sox Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 57 | 19.3 | 0.478 | 0.357 | 7.98 |
| EV | LA | xwOBA | xBA | xSLG |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 81.7 | 12.4 | 0.381 | 0.252 | 0.370 |
* Statcast data only available back to 2015
Which Sale will we get tonight? He has over a .300 BA against him and Cleveland is surging. With other studs on the mound tonight, I would fade Chris Sale and look to take Clevinger against a reeling Boston Red Sox squad.
Clayton Kershaw
#22 Throws: Left
Career vs Current Marlins Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 120 | 25.0 | 0.171 | 0.150 | 1.98 |

| 82.6 | 14.1 | 0.257 | 0.198 | 0.304 |

Jordan Yamamoto

Career vs Current Dodgers Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14 | 21.4 | 0.446 | 0.250 | 11.87 |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 87.0 | 22.9 | 0.431 | 0.308 | 0.629 |
* Statcast data only available back to 2015
Give me all of the Kershaw against the Marlins.
Yusei Kikuchi
#18 Throws: Left
Career vs Current Tigers Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16 | 12.5 | 0.511 | 0.375 | 10.30 |
| EV | LA | xwOBA | xBA | xSLG |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 85.8 | 17.1 | 0.398 | 0.341 | 0.597 |
* Statcast data only available back to 2015
Matthew Boyd
#48 Throws: Left
Career vs Current Mariners Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 40 | 42.5 | 0.202 | 0.167 | 0.40 |
| EV | LA | xwOBA | xBA | xSLG |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 77.5 | 26.0 | 0.213 | 0.176 | 0.231 |
* Statcast data only available back to 2015
I really like Boyd as a pivot against the Seattle Mariners tonight. The Mariners’ offense has just been lacking since starting out really hot and Boyd could be a sneaky option on a very full slate of great pitching options tonight.
Zack Wheeler
#45 Throws: Right
Career vs Current Braves Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 125 | 22.4 | 0.436 | 0.346 | 6.76 |
| EV | LA | xwOBA | xBA | xSLG |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 84.2 | 12.6 | 0.357 | 0.286 | 0.472 |
* Statcast data only available back to 2015
Max Fried
#54 Throws: Left
Career vs Current Mets Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 72 | 30.6 | 0.302 | 0.277 | 1.49 |
| EV | LA | xwOBA | xBA | xSLG |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 84.0 | 4.3 | 0.284 | 0.256 | 0.317 |
* Statcast data only available back to 2015
Both of these offenses are currently dominating and I want nothing to do with either starting pitcher at first look. I’m looking to use offenses if anything in this game
Gerrit Cole
#45 Throws: Right
Career vs Current White Sox Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 71 | 19.7 | 0.410 | 0.328 | 5.04 |
| EV | LA | xwOBA | xBA | xSLG |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 83.7 | 11.2 | 0.376 | 0.321 | 0.539 |
* Statcast data only available back to 2015
Ivan Nova
#46 Throws: Right
Career vs Current Astros Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 90 | 15.6 | 0.316 | 0.247 | 4.64 |
| EV | LA | xwOBA | xBA | xSLG |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 84.8 | 6.6 | 0.313 | 0.262 | 0.373 |
* Statcast data only available back to 2015
I know that Cole’s numbers against the White Sox aren’t the best, but he’s been one of the best pitchers all season and I could see another absolutely dominating performance for Gerrit Cole tonight.
Martin Perez
#33 Throws: Left
Career vs Current Brewers Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 48 | 27.1 | 0.216 | 0.196 | 1.55 |
| EV | LA | xwOBA | xBA | xSLG |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 84.9 | -0.5 | 0.245 | 0.223 | 0.313 |
* Statcast data only available back to 2015
Chase Anderson
#57 Throws: Right
Career vs Current Twins Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18 | 33.3 | 0.150 | 0.059 | 3.98 |
| EV | LA | xwOBA | xBA | xSLG |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 85.5 | 23.5 | 0.277 | 0.194 | 0.411 |
* Statcast data only available back to 2015
Martin Perez could could be a sneaky low-owned option for Tournaments/GPPs tonight. He does have to face a pretty potent offense in Milwaukee.
Jack Flaherty
#22 Throws: Right
Career vs Current Royals Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | 15.4 | 0.295 | 0.200 | 5.47 |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 77.3 | 10.5 | 0.336 | 0.256 | 0.275 |

Glenn Sparkman
#57 Throws: Right
Career vs Current Cardinals Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 | 13.3 | 0.233 | 0.154 | 3.83 |
| EV | LA | xwOBA | xBA | xSLG |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 85.5 | 13.2 | 0.269 | 0.204 | 0.281 |
* Statcast data only available back to 2015
Jack Flaherty is an intriguing option tonight with 30 pitchers going tonight. I like the fact this game is at Kauffman Stadium and Flaherty could be in store for a fantastic night.
Jon Gray
#55 Throws: Right
Career vs Current D-backs Roster
| PA | K% | wOBA | AVG | FIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 136 | 19.1 | 0.354 | 0.328 | 3.49 |
| EV | LA | xwOBA | xBA | xSLG |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 84.6 | 15.5 | 0.316 | 0.275 | 0.408 |
* Statcast data only available back to 2015
We are obviously not going to take pitching in Coors. Load up on the bats. This could be bumpy ride!
Brett Anderson

* Statcast data only available back to 2015
I absolutely love MadBum against the Oakland Athletics tonight. He has great numbers against them and
TBA for Los Angeles Angels
Never Faced Any Players on this Team.
I think we are OK if we don’t take Trevor Williams or the pitcher known as TBA tonight. I would look to get some Angels’ bats in here tonight.
Eric Lauer
