Price: $10,600
Since there aren't a ton of big-money bats on tonight's slate, why not go after the most expensive pitcher on the board, especially since it's a guy who also has one of the best matchups in front of him?
Houston Astros starter Gerrit Cole has the fourth-best SIERA (2.86) in baseball this year, the second-best strikeout percentage (34.9%), and the sixth-best swinging-strike rate (13.8%). He's going up against a Seattle Mariners team that is 20th in team wOBA (.312) and 22nd in team ISO (.154).
The Mariners have a tiny 3.50 implied total against Cole, and the 'Stros are big favorites to win, with the second-highest moneyline (-172) on tonight's slate.
