Aye aye aye! Pitching tonight is a mess. Lots of traps to watch out for. We're here to help you avoid stepping on a landmine...

Power Pitching Targets:

1. G. González, WAS ($11,500 DK, $8900 FD)Gonzalez is in the midst of a career season despite a lower than average strikeout rate and a higher-than-average walk rate. Sure is expensive tonight. Just a week ago he unleashed upon Miami. He's heavily favored, and red hot. Some sauce: MIA's lineup has a .133 ISO vs lefties. Scored 26.58 FPPG past 2 games. Top 95% avg exit velocity past 30 days: 82.5 mph Top 90% avg distance past 30 days: 178.5 feet. What worries me? His 2nd kid. Any parent of a newborn can tell you it's nuts. I'd imagine the man has some help, but still. Some people thrive on lack of sleep, some don't. Keep that in mind when spending up for Gio tonight. Steal on FanDuel.

2.  M. Tanaka, NYY ($9400 DK, $9300 FD)Here's a pretty reasonable idea for tonight. Mā-kun vs. Toronto is a matchup I can get behind. He's red hot: 25.60 FPPG in 8 High Scoring games, 18.53 over 14. New York's favored. Jays aren't anything to sleep on, so there's a strong likelihood of ER, but generally thinking Tanaka strikeouts OP and make for a good night with high upside. 

Tough to recommend Greinke vs. the dragon-fire scorching Dodgers. Wood vs DBacks is interesting especially since he unleashed upon them 1-month ago.
