Pitching Puzzle inbound. Traps galore. Navigate safely and you'll make it out alive.

Power Pitching Targets:

  1. Chris Archer, TB ($12,400 DK, $10,200 FD)Archer is almost too easy of a choice tonight. Trap? You decide that. Here's the sauce: Tampa Bay is heavily favored. [-190] Tropicana Field: #7 most pitcher-friendly park. TOR's lineup has a .303 wOBA vs righties. TOR hitting .220 vs Chris Archer in 206 at bats. Averages 22.2% more FP while Home. The bad? TOR's lineup has a .161 ISO vs righties. If they get it going against Archer it'll be a bad situation, history says they won't. Methinks this is an easy call, Archer top Power Pitcher of the night.

  2. Jimmy Nelson, MIL ($11,000 DK, $8700 FD)Strikeout pitcher with a smarmy attitude, I'll take one glass of Jimmy Nelson pls. SF's lineup has a .133 ISO vs righties. Top 80% avg exit velocity past 30 days: 85.2 mph. Don't get me wrong, Giants have their moments, and the wind is blowing slightly out.... Jimmy though has Jimmy moments and tonight's a Jimmy night. Don't forget to wear your Jimmy, you'll thank us later. Cheap AF on FanDuel.

Patrick Corbin is so hot lately, it'd be a shame not to mention him. Especially given that the Mets strikeout a lot against lefties. I'll give him an honorable nod, but the wind expected to be heavy outward + the Mets, make this a pass for me.
