High Priced Pitchers
The first pitcher that stands out is Aaron Nola of the Philadelphia Phillies. While his price tag is high at $9,400 on DraftKings and $9,300 on FanDuel, he’s facing a Colorado Rockies team that struggles against right-handed pitching. Right handed starters have a 4.56 ERA vs the Rockies since last season. Nola boasts an impressive 28% strikeout rate and only a 4% walk rate, which makes him a dominant force on the mound. He also has a strong GB% at 42%, which can limit the Rockies’ power potential in Citizens Bank Park. This matchup is favorable for Nola, and he should be able to provide a solid return on investment.
The second high-priced pitcher worth considering is Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels. His $10,800 price tag on DraftKings and $11,400 on FanDuel may be steep, but he’s been absolutely dominant so far this season with a 33% strikeout rate and a 2.88 SIERA. He’s facing a Kansas City Royals team that strikes out 27.3% of the time against top-tier right-handed pitchers like Ohtani, which bodes well for his strikeout potential.
Mid Priced Pitchers
One mid-priced pitcher that stands out is Tyler Mahle of the Minnesota Twins. While his $8,700 price tag on DraftKings and $9,000 on FanDuel isn’t cheap, he’s facing a Washington Nationals team that has struggled against right-handed pitching. Right-handed starters have an ERA of 2.92 against the Nationals since last season. Mahle has a solid strikeout rate of 25% and only a 9% walk rate, which makes him a solid option for DFS players. The Twins’ offense has been hot lately, so he should also have solid run support.
The second mid-priced pitcher worth considering is Seth Lugo of the San Diego Padres. His $8,500 price tag on DraftKings and $9,800 on FanDuel may be a bit high, but he’s facing an Arizona Diamondbacks team that strikes out 27.4% of the time against top-tier right-handed pitchers like Lugo. He has a solid strikeout rate of 25% and only a 7% walk rate, which makes him a solid option for DFS players. Additionally, the Diamondbacks have a weak offense, so Lugo should have a good chance of keeping them off the scoreboard.
Low Priced Pitchers
Domingo German and Steven Matz are two low-priced pitchers to consider for DFS on 4/21/23. German of the New York Yankees is priced at $7,800 on DraftKings and $8,700 on FanDuel, while Matz of the St. Louis Cardinals is priced at $7,300 on DraftKings and $8,400 on FanDuel.
German will be facing off against the Toronto Blue Jays, a team that has struggled against right-handed pitching with a 25.9% strikeout rate against pitchers similar to German over the last two years. German has also shown solid strikeout potential with a 24.6% strikeout rate over the last two years. While the Blue Jays have a potent offense, German has the potential to put up a good performance at a low price point.
Matz, on the other hand, will be facing the Seattle Mariners, a team that has struggled against left-handed pitching with a .217 batting average and .290 wOBA against lefties over the last two years. Matz has also been solid against right-handed batters, holding them to a .240 batting average and a 3.47 xFIP over the last two years. The matchup against the Mariners sets up nicely for Matz to have a successful outing and potentially exceed his low price point.
In conclusion, when it comes to DFS pitching, it’s important to consider a variety of factors such as matchup, pitcher’s recent performance, and price. While high-priced pitchers like Shohei Ohtani and Tyler Mahle may be tempting, low-priced options like Domingo German and Steven Matz can also provide great value for your lineup. By doing your research and considering all the available options, you’ll increase your chances of success in DFS baseball. So, get out there and make some smart picks!
