Gene McCaffrey (Wise Guy Baseball, @WiseGuyGene)
Jon Gray: Jon Gray – High strikeout floor and always a decent chance to dominate outside of Coors.
Freddie Freeman: Freddie Freeman is expensive but about the surest bat to put up some points
Michael Rathburn (Rotowire, @FantasyRath)
Miles Mikolas: Milos Mikolas – Been a beast at home vs. weak SDP lineup
Max Muncy: Max Muncy – Riding that hot hand. vs BFBC
Lawr Michaels (CreativeSports2, @lawrmichaels)
Eduardo Rodriguez: Boston takes on Baltimore, who are mediocre against lefties, hitting just .232 with 163 strikeouts.
Christian Yelich: Yelich has a sweet .410 OBP at home and goes against Tyler Chatwood — who has allowed 56 walks over 58 innings, and boasts a WHIP of 1.78 — meaning some phat pitches will be out there for the Brewers flychaser.
Jeff Boggis (Fantasy Football Empire, @JeffBoggis)
Miles Mikolas: As much as I like both Aaron Nola ($12,000) and Jonathan Gray ($8,000) tonight, but they face each other and my concern is the “who gets the win” factor. Miles Mikolas has been outstanding. In his last 10 games, he has allowed 2 or fewer earned runs 9 times.
Anthony Rizzo: Rizzo is good for at least an RBI tonight. He’s had at least 1 RBI in 8 straight games.
Todd Zola (Mastersball, @toddzola)
Jon Gray: Re-ran my numbers and have to go with Gray, Phillies highest K% vs. RHP
Travis Shaw: Usually don’t stack in Tout Daily, but I want all the Brewers. Chatwood needs 109.2 IP without a walk to lower BB/9 to 3.0.
Mike Gianella (Baseball Prospectus, @MikeGianella)
Clay Buchholz: I’m as surprised as you are. But Buchholz has pitched well since his first four starts as a Diamondback, and the peripherals have caught up to the ERA in his last two starts. The humidor has helped, and I’ll take Clay at home against a Pirates offense that has struggled away from PNC Park this season.
Aaron Judge: I’m not an xFIP believer, but if Tanner Roark’s low whiff rates against righties are going to catch up with him anywhere it will be at Yankee Stadium and against the Bombers’ formidable lineup. Judge is hardly a bargain but my non-ace strategy allows me to play a couple of big bats tonight.
Rob Leibowitz (Rotoheaven, @rob_leibowitz)
Foltynewicz and Gray: Chasing strikeouts with this combo.
Willy Adames: At $3,300 vs righty Jamie Garica at Toronto. Modest power/speed combo worth a try here.
Jeff Erickson (Rotowire, @Jeff_Erickson)
Aaron Nola, CC Sabathia: I’m going to pay up for Nola, guessing he won’t be highly owned. Sabathia as a -165 favorite also appeals to me – he’s been much better at home.
Kris Bryant: Chase Anderson’s recent form has been pretty rough, and Bryant has some juicy BvP numbers against him. Plus all the focus is on Tyler Chat-would-prefer-not.
Clay Link (Rotowire, @claywlink)
CC Sabathia: This is largely a bet against Tanner Roark, who has been more susceptible against lefties and now goes into a park that boosts left-handed power. Roark also has almost as many walks as strikeouts in his last two starts.
Mike Moustakas: Sal Romano has given up at least one homer in 10 of his 13 starts. It seems like a good spot for Moustakas to break out of his little slide.
Rick Wolf (Fantasy Alarm, @RickWolf1)
Eduardo Rodriguez: Rodriguez has a 10.5 K/9 and the best RHH Manny Machado is 6 for 31 with ZERO RBI vs him. BAL bats .231 vs E-Rod and he has been really sharp and consistent with 4 straight 20+ DraftKings points performances.
Joey Votto: Joey Votto has been great in his last 10 games hitting .432. He has a .911 OPS vs Kennedy who is awful vs LHHs. Stacking Reds with Votto in the middle of that.
