PITCHERS:
Dallas Keuchel (vs CHW)
White Sox did rough up Keuchel the last time they faced, but that was one of his first starts off the DL… 6-2, 2.19 ERA in 10 starts at Minute Maid Park this season… White Sox have the lowest IRT (3.0) by nearly an entire run tonight
Carlos Martinez (@CIN)
Two things of note: (1) C-Mart has been terrible vs CIN this season, (2) His road record isn’t all that great either… However, the low O/U in this game makes C-Mart very appealing because Cincy’s lineup is a lot more watered-down than usual… CIN also has the second-lowest IRT (3.9) on this slate
Gabriel Ynoa (vs TB)
Watched him pitch against the Yankees last time out, and I see some talent there- unfortunately, not sure how many pitches we’ll see from him tonight and that makes him more appealing as an SP2 on DraftKings… The Rays do have the highest K-rate over the month of September
STACKS:
Colorado Rockies (@SD, Clayton Richard – L)
Excellent numbers against left-handed pitching and Richard
Houston Astros (vs CHW, Carson Fulmer – R)
Their 5.6 IRT is the highest on tonight’s slate
Minnesota Twins (@DET, Jordan Zimmermann – R)
Great BvP numbers against Zimmermann
St. Louis Cardinals (@CIN, Homer Bailey – R)
Highest IRT increase (4.6 to 5.2) on tonight’s slate
Washington Nationals (@ATL, R.A. Dickey – R)
Great BvP numbers against Dickey
