pitching options available. Check out the Daily Notes for a look at the arms --
and bats -- to target in your lineups.PitchingEliteIts no surprise that Noah
Syndergaard carries the top projected Game Score for the day, but thats because
the projection system doesnt know that his elbow is barking with some bone spurs
that have likely influenced his 5.23 ERA in the last four starts. I will say
that Im much more comfortable with him in DFS over season-long right now because
of the uncertainty with that elbow. We dont know how much the elbow is hampering
him or when it flares up. If we assume it played a role in the 3 IP/5 ER and 4.7
IP/3 ER duds over his last three starts, then we have to acknowledge the
Thor-esque 7 IP/1 ER gem in the middle against the very same Cubs he has on
Tuesday.Jake Arrieta had an ace-level 1.29 ERA and 0.84 WHIP through his first
nine starts of the season, but hes been Baltimore-era Arrieta in his last nine
starts with a 4.38 ERA and 1.40 WHIP thanks in large part to a surge in walks.
Hes up at 4.0 BB/9 in these last nine. In fact, walks have been a lingering
issue all year as Arrieta has just one walk-free outing. I investigated the walk
rate over at Fangraphs a couple weeks ago and surmised that lefties were laying
off more, but not turning it into damage... so he promptly went out and got
hammered by lefties (and righties, to be honest) in a couple of ugly starts.Of
course, in those ugly starts, it was hits not walks so Im still not sure weve
seen the elevated walk rate really burn him. Remember our nine good/nine bad
splits? He had a 2.57 ERA in the first six of the nine bad starts, so its really
been three bad starts and were in the midst of them so they feel more important.
Overall, Im just not that worried about Arrieta.You no longer have to run from
strikeout pitchers facing the Royals, at least not strikeout righties. Danny
Salazar definitely qualifies as a strikeout pitcher with a career-best 10.2 mark
(minimum 100 IP, he did have 11.3 in his 52 IP debut back in 2013), including
nine in both of his starts this year against these Royals. Unfortunately, his
walk rate has soared to 4.0 BB/9 and cut into his efficiency, especially of late
as hes finished six innings just once in his last four starts. The Royals have
an MLB-worst 6 percent walk rate against right-handers, which further adds to
this matchups appeal, though Salazar has been on both ends of the spectrum with
them walking just one on May 6 but then five on June 3. Ill take my chances of
getting something more like the May 6 outing.We havent talked a lot about Carlos
Martinez this year in fantasy circles despite a better ERA and WHIP combo than
his 2015 breakout. His 2.85 ERA is 15th-best among qualified starters, but it
comes with just a 7.6 K/9, down from last years 9.2 mark. The narrative would
suggest that hes fanning fewer in favor of more control and/or efficiency, but
neither holds up under scrutiny.Martinezs walk rate is down marginally from 3.2
to 3.0, which would net him all of three fewer walks if he matched his 2015
innings total. Meanwhile, his pitches-per-plate appearance rate is static at
3.7. Hes just generating fewer swings, especially outside of the zone, which has
cost him 1.5 percentage points on his swinging strike rate. He did fan a
season-high 11 his last time out (in just five innings, too) after fanning seven
the start before. He has six starts of at least seven strikeouts, so the spikes
are still there, its just that the floor is lower. Martinez had fewer than five
strikeouts in eight of 31 starts last year; hes done so in seven of 17 already
this year.Solid Aaron Sanchez is like Syndergaard in that hes a better DFS
option right now, though for a vastly different reason. Sanchez is bumping up on
a nebulous innings limit that the Jays have been unsurprisingly coy about so
just counting him on a game-to-game level seems a lot safer than having him on
your season-long team, let alone trading for him in such a league. I certainly
dont envy the Jays for having to make the decision on Sanchez, especially as he
seems to be hitting another gear with a 1.91 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in his last five
starts (33 IP). Sanchez has actually done his best work away from home (2.20 ERA
in 69.7 IP) while the D-Backs have been a nightmare in their own ballpark
(17-33).As we move away from win-loss records being used a measure of quality,
Jose Quintana has kind of been the posterboy, tallying exactly nine wins in each
of the last three years despite skills deserving of something better than his
27-28 record during this period. After running out to a 5-1 record this year, he
seemed like a sure bet to reach the double-digit win mark. But then he went 2-7
in his next 11 with a 4.38 ERA. I already feel dirty for focusing so much on a
win-loss record, but they matter a lot more in DFS where the points for a win
can be a game-changer. While Quintana hasnt been as sharp since the hot start,
hes still been more good than bad and taken some hard-luck losses/no-decisions.
He has won his last two starts and gets a Mariners team that is just 3-7 in its
last 10 and does its best work against righties.You may not have fully noticed
Junior Guerra this year, but hes been really good for the Brewers. He jumped on
the map in May with 36 strikeouts in 36.3 innings. He tested the resolve of
those who bought in by fanning just nine total batters in his first three starts
of June, but has once again shown his strikeout prowess with 27 in his last 28
innings (not to mention a sparkling 1.61 ERA, too). This isnt just an
out-of-nowhere fluke. Guerra can touch the mid-90s with regularity and his
splitter has been one off baseballs best all year.dddddddddddd Dont get hung up
on him being a 31-year-old rookie and focus more on the fact hes pitching really
well with the stuff to back it up.Continuing my (possibly tired) theme of
pitchers better in DFS than season-long leagues right now, we have Vincent
Velasquez, who is in a very similar situation to Sanchez with the unfortunate
twist of being on a bottom-feeding team that will be more inclined to limit his
innings sooner than later. He also suffered a biceps strain earlier in the
season which only pushes Philly closer to being overly cautious. But again, we
just need him for six or seven innings on Tuesday night. The Marlins arent a
walkover, but Velasquez is matchup-proof at his best.Spot-starters and streamers
Scott Kazmir is never really a comfortable play in DFS as hes been known to
suffer through some severe clunkers, but after a rocky start to the season (5.23
ERA in 51.7 IP) he has a solid 3.72 ERA in his last 44 IP with 59 strikeouts.
Hes only 4-0 in the nine starts because he doesnt go deep into games (just 5.3
IP/start), but he makes up for it with strikeouts.Jameson Taillon hit the DL
with shoulder fatigue, but didnt miss too many starts thanks to the All-Star
break. The one-time super prospect has looked sharp early in his major league
career. He has a couple 4 IP/4 ER clunkers, but he hasnt really been destroyed
in any of his five starts. And while he hasnt been a huge strikeout asset, hes
not a bad low-dollar gamble.Avoid Blake Snell hasnt posted eye-popping results
in his six MLB starts, but his transition to the majors has been much smoother
than most of the other big prospects who arrived this year. Dont forget, Michael
Fulmer had a 6.52 ERA through his first four starts. I think being in the
rotation full time will yield benefits to us in the DFS arena as Snell starts to
learn more about pitching in the majors. He has already shown some flashes, like
his debut against the Yankees (5 IP/1 ER/6 Ks) or his most recent outing against
the Angels (6 IP/2 ER/7 Ks). But hes clearly still working out the rookie kinks,
which is why he has a 1.58 WHIP. Plus, there are few established guys I would
roll the dice on in Coors, let alone a blossoming rookie.Hitting Theres a game
in Coors, so theres that.I think the aforementioned Blake Snell will struggle
with Rockies strong lineup, including Nolan Arenado, Trevor Story, Mark
Reynolds, Nick Hundley, DJ LeMahieu and of course everyones favorite
lefty-smasher: Ryan Raburn (though he only has an .804 OPS against them this
year). I imagine their lefty rating is higher because of Snells reverse platoon
split, but Id stay focused on righties.On the other side, the Rays face Tyler
Chatwood, who also has a reverse platoon split, though his is a bit more
pronounced and dates back to the start of 2014 (though keep in mind he missed
2015 with Tommy John surgery). Honestly though, its Coors so you can pick the
Rays you want, including former Rockies outfielder Corey Dickerson.Atlanta
Braves righties draw a 10-rating against home run machine Cody Reed (he of the
impossible 3.6 HR/9 through five starts), but who are you really taking from
that team? Freddie Freeman is a lefty, but does have a career-best .930 OPS
against lefties this year, so maybe you take the platoon disadvantage and see if
he can go off on Reed.What do you have more fun exploiting: a game in Coors or
Tim Lincecum starts? Lincecum went 6 IP/1 ER in his first start, but has been
thrashed for an 8.66 ERA in his last four. The Angels bullpen isnt much better,
so even if Lincecum only lasts a few innings, your Rangers picks will still face
poor pitching. Dont sweat the righty-righty matchup and jump on Ian Desmond and
Adrian Beltre, but dont ignore lefties Shin-soo Choo and Nomar Mazara.The whole
Angels-Rangers game is worth jumping on, but the Angels arent exactly rich in
options. Of course you have Mike Trout, but you might also look at Kole Calhoun
and even Albert Pujols against Kyle Lohse. Yeah, Lohse is back in the
league!Vance Worley draws a spot start for Baltimore, further highlighting the
teams desperate need for more pitching. The Yankees offense has been bottom 10
against righties, but this looks like a spot ripe to roster a couple of New York
bats, including Carlos Beltran, Brian McCann, Brett Gardner and Didi
Gregorius.The other side of this game might actually be more appealing. Nathan
Eovaldi appeared to be improving last year with the addition of a splitter, but
hes been a nightmare this year (5.11 ERA, 1.38 WHIP). And the Orioles offense is
straight fire, though it will also cost a lot more. Baltimores best bets against
righties are Mark Trumbo, Manny Machado, Jonathan Schoop, Chris Davis and Hyun
Soo Kim. Even Pedro Alvarez has gotten in on the action with an .879 OPS against
righties. Of course, he will likely have to face Andrew Miller and/or Aroldis
Chapman at some point or just be pulled from the game. Hes a nightmarish
3-for-22 against southpaws this year (.332 OPS).Most likely to go yard: Evan
Longoria. Longo has already matched his 2015 home run total of 21 in 71 fewer
games. He also has a pair of two-HR games this year, including one on Sunday.
Heres to a double-dong effort in Coors!Most likely to swipe a bag: Do guys even
steal bases anymore? Just kidding. Ill take Jonathan Villar, the MLBs leader in
swipes. Its chalky for sure, but its not like there are that many reliable
stolen base options out there these days. Dont sleep on Ender Inciarte as long
as Tucker Barnhart is behind the dish for Cincy (but then youll have to roster
his .626 OPS, too). ' ' '
