MLB DFS Pitcher Article 8/14 (DK and FD)
In-depth analysis of the starting pitchers on Tuesday, August 14, 2018 (8/14) MAIN SLATE to help you build winning cash game and tournament lineups on Draftkings and FanDuel.
TOP PLAYS
Justin Verlander (HOU) vs COL: 12.6DK, 11.2FD
Justin gets to face the Rockies away from Coors Field. Over the past month, the Rockies have a 26% k rate vs righties on the road. A full 5% above their home split during that time. They also only have a 151 iso. We know Justin is elite with his 36% k rate vs lefties and his 30% k rate vs righties. He is the top pitcher on the slate.
J. A. Happ (NYY) vs TB: 9.5DK, 8.8FD
Happ is facing the Rays in Yankee stadium. The rays have a 23% k rate along with a 115 iso vs lefties over the past month. Happ has a 27% k rate vs both sides of the plate.
Anibal Sanchez (ATL) vs MIA: 8.6DK, 8.6FD
Anibal has been quite this good season. Now he gets to face the Marlins at home. Over the past month, they have a 23% k rate along with a minuscule 108 iso. Anibal is sporting a very solid 25% k rate vs lefties and a 23% k rate vs righties. He has limited hard contact to less than 30% to both sides of the plate. He should fit well as an SP2 in your cash games.
VALUE/PUNT OPTION
Ryan Borucki (TOR) @ KC: 6.7DK, 6.8FD
This is mostly a matchup play. Ryan is facing a Royals team that has a 23% k rate and a 091 iso vs left-handed pitching. Ryan has a 16% k rate vs lefties and a 15% k rate vs righties, along with giving up less than 30% hard contact to both sides. I’m fairly confident that he can at least get 15 DK points and pay off his salary.
