At pitcher today, we’re going w/ the chalk up top in Lucas Giolito & Freddy Peralta. Peralta was well on his way to another big start his last time out -- against these same Reds -- before the game was delayed and forced him to leave. Giolito gets a match-up with a team that was stymied by Dallas Kuechel on Tuesday.
Ryan Yarbrough is my tournament dart. The White Sox are hurting right now. They’ve suffered a lot of injuries and have been middle of the pack offensively over the last week. Yarbrough has put up 18+ DKP in three straight starts & has struck out six or more batters in each of them.
Can Tarik Skubal strike out enough Royals? He’s cheap enough that it’s not that challenging to hit/exceed value. I like the other side of that match-up in Brady Singer, too. Singer is rollin’ striking out six or more batters in five of his last six games & has allowed three earned or fewer in four of those six games.
Flipping over to offense..
Coors is the obvious place to start. To Coors or not to Coors?
Kyle Freeland has been horrible to start the year. He allowed 5 HR the last time he took the mound & has allowed 7 HR his last two starts. Now has to pitch in Coors. Yikes. Love the Pads. The Rockies are OK, but not overly excited about them.
Sneaky game stack is OAK/LAA. LAA has crushed LHP the last month, ranking 5th in OPS & 6th in wOBA. Griffin Canning has allowed LHH to post a .340 wOBA & RHH .386.
I'm pushing my chips in on the Mets as well. Robert Stock is a career minor leaguer that struggles posting better than a 4 ERA down there. Bullpen game for the Cubs. Mets viable in GPP.
