TOP MLB Plays Today 7/18/17

Big Slate tonight with some serious power pitching and, of course Big Sexy, Bartolo Colon makes his revenge debut.

Power Pitching Targets:

  1.  C. Kershaw, CHW ($14000 DK, $12700FD) Holy crap is Kershaw expensive tonight. Then you see that he's scored 40.92 FPPG past 3 games πŸ˜³ Los Angeles is heavily favored tonight. Guaranteed Rate Field: #10 most pitcher-friendly park. CHW's lineup has a 22.7% K rate vs lefties. Top 90% avg exit velocity past 30 days: 83.0 mph. Kershaw is going to do one of two things tonight... 1. Take the White Sox down a notch with a shutout 2. Give up 2ER with 12strikeouts. Either way, you probably want him on your team. With the value pitchers available tonight, you should be able to make it work. 

  2. M. Clevinger, CLE ($9100 DK, $8500 FD) Cleveland's own Clevinger has a TON of upside tonight and not much downside. SF's lineup has a .300 wOBA vs righties. SF's lineup has a .140 ISO vs righties. Scored 24.97 FPPG past 3 games. Should be good for 5-8strikeouts this evening and otherwise result in a good showing. If the man above wasn't named Clayton Kershaw this would easily be our top pick for pitching tonight. Considering Kershaw is facing the WhiteSox and ridiculously expensive, you might consider leaning heavily on Mr. Clevinger. 

Bonus: Red hot Peacock is cocked and ready for tonight's battle of the bats against Seattle. Def. give a look his way.
