The Cycle

The Staff 

Snell – Detroit has made average pitchers look like aces. Detroit has just one homer in the last 2 weeks off a lefty, while Snell brings his 34.9% k rate on the road.

(Risk factor 4)

Strasburg – Top upside on the slate tonight but expensive. 2.82 XFIP to go along with a 31% k rate and 40%+ ground ball rate to both sides. Chicago struggles against all of what Stras throws (change, sinker, curve) so it could get ugly tonight

(Risk factor 4)

Eickhoff – He’s been bad of late, but gets a nice ball park shift and a lineup with a lot of righties. Eickoff owns just under a 24% k rate to righties and a 48.9% GB rate.

(Risk factor 5)

Anderson – He probably won’t go 6 for the QS, but Miami’s lack of power is something to take into consideration. Anderson has been better at home with a 31.7% k rate and a 48% ground ball rate.

(Risk factor 5)

 

The Bats 

Atlanta – Brault is a guy who allows a lot of power to RHB. Acuna has been heating up against the split while Riley has been mashing over the last 2 weeks against lefties as well.

Dodgers – Lefties all in play tonight, with this spot looking perfect for them. Hoping they go a little under the radar.

Milwaukee – Thames has put together a nice 10 days, and it’s looking like Travis Shaw should be back in the lineup at just $2200 on FD.

(Yelich Revenge, Thames, Moose, Shaw)
