High-priced pitchers:

Jacob deGrom, TEX ($10,100 DK / $10,600 FD): The most expensive pitcher on the slate, deGrom boasts an impressive 1.66 SIERA and a whopping 42% K rate. He’s facing the Kansas City Royals, who strike out at a high rate against top-tier righties like deGrom. While he comes with a hefty price tag, he has the potential to deliver a dominant performance.

Kevin Gausman, TOR ($10,200 DK / $11,100 FD): Gausman has been excellent this season, posting a 2.92 SIERA and a 29% K rate. He’s facing the Houston Astros, who have a solid lineup but haven’t been as dominant against top-tier righties. Gausman’s ability to generate strikeouts and limit walks makes him an appealing option.

Mid-priced pitchers:

Corbin Burnes, MIL ($8,800 DK / $10,000 FD): Burnes has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season, with a 3.01 SIERA and a 30% K rate. He’s facing the Seattle Mariners, who strike out at a high rate against right-handed pitchers. Burnes comes with a slightly more affordable price tag than deGrom or Gausman, but he still has the potential for a big performance.

Lance Lynn, CHW ($8,100 DK / $8,500 FD): Lynn doesn’t have the same strikeout upside as some of the other pitchers on this slate, but he has a solid 3.40 SIERA and a 25% K rate. He’s facing the Philadelphia Phillies, who have been inconsistent against right-handed pitching this season. While he may not rack up as many strikeouts as deGrom or Burnes, Lynn has a solid floor and could deliver a quality start.

Low-priced pitchers:

Hayden Wesneski, CHC ($6,300 DK / $7,200 FD): Wesneski is a bit of a wildcard, as he’s only made one MLB appearance so far. However, he has a strong minor league track record and is facing the Oakland Athletics, who have struggled against right-handed pitching this season. If you’re looking to save some salary at the pitcher position, Wesneski could be an intriguing option.

Ryan Weathers, SDP ($5,200 DK / $6,200 FD): Weathers is another young pitcher with limited MLB experience, but he has a solid 5.61 SIERA and is facing the Atlanta Braves, who have struggled against left-handed pitching this season. While Weathers may not be the most reliable option, he comes with an extremely affordable price tag and could provide value if he can deliver a quality start.
