TOP MLB Plays Today 8/31/17
Another messy night for pitching inbound. Good news is, we see some clear winners/losers which should help make decisions easier for you...
Power Pitching Targets:
Gio González, WAS ($11,900 DK, $9300 FD)There's a lot to like about Gio tonight. One, he's hot AF. Two, the Brewcrew struggles with Lefties... MIL's lineup has a 22.5% K rate vs lefties. MIL's lineup has a .306 wOBA vs lefties. Great recent history(July): MIL hitting .190 vs Gio González in 36 at bats. Pitching like a champ recently: Top 95% avg exit velocity past 30 days: 83.2 mph. Top 90% avg distance past 30 days: 181.4 feet. Caveman Speak: Play Gio tonight!
Kyle Hendricks, CHC ($10,800 DK, $8500 FD) -I'm skipping Bumgarner for Hendricks tonight. Bumgarner vs. STL just sounds scary to me. Red Hot Cubs+ Hendricks vs. Braves, seems more manageable. He's been averaging a strikeout per inning, 0 walks last week, strong enough upside to merit giving Kyle a chance. Here's why I'm feeling Hendricks over MadBum: Wind is blowing In at 14 MPH Chicago is heavily favored. [-230] At home, Wrigley Field: #6 most pitcher-friendly park. 20.55 FPPG in 2 Big Favorite games, 14.95 over 8 games. 20.55 FPPG in 2 Blowout games, 14.95 over 8 games. Top 80% avg exit velocity past 30 days: 85.3 mph. Hendricks seems like a very viable option for tonight's games.
