Mid-Priced Pitchers:
Sonny Gray (MIN) – DK Salary: $10,000
Gray has been consistent and boasts a 25% strikeout rate this season. He faces the Chicago Cubs, who have struck out 29.2% of the time against top-tier right-handed pitchers like Gray over the last two years. With solid numbers and a favorable matchup, Gray presents a strong mid-priced option.
Blake Snell (SDP) – DK Salary: $8,100
Snell may have control issues, but he still possesses strikeout upside with a 30% strikeout rate. He goes up against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and left-handed starters with above-average flyball rates, like Snell, have had an ERA of 4.69 against the Dodgers since last year. While there are risks associated with Snell, his potential for strikeouts makes him an intriguing mid-priced option.
