TOP MLB Plays Today 8/1/17
It's fitting that AUGUST starts on a #TacoTuesday🌮 my favorite day of the week. Coming off a stellar digest yesterday, hoping we can continue onto today. Grab your margarita and let's gooooooooooooooooooo.
Power Pitching Targets:
M. Scherzer, WAS ($13,200 DK, $11,500 FD)What'd Max Order? Fish filet. Marlin-based fish filet. He should have no problem feasting this evening. The goods: Washington is heavily favored. [-220] Marlins Park: #4 most pitcher-friendly park. MIA hitting .230 vs Max Scherzer in 112 at bats. The bads: MIA's lineup has a .355 wOBA vs righties. MIA's lineup has a .191 ISO vs righties. Overall, the good significantly outweighs the bad especially when you take into account his eliteness and historical matchups. End note, Scherz prob gives up a HR or three, but more than makes it up on K-ville.
J. Lester, CHC ($9500 DK, $9700 FD)Some slight weather in this game, which should be OK. Three straight quality starts for Lester means he's back in biz. Lester of old is cranking it up notch this evening against the DBacks. Chicago is heavily favored. [-170]. He's gotta be feeling good at home, Wrigley Field: #6 most pitcher-friendly park. ARI's lineup has a 23.1% K rate vs lefties. Overall, considering the huge price rollback - Lester should be highly considered for this evening.
It's funny that the main goal of an MLB player is to hit a ball into the spectators as hard as possible.
