Jon Lester has been incredibly consistent over the past two-plus seasons, serving as of of the game’s best and most reliable starting pitchers.

2014 219 2/3 3.10 3.09 24.9 5.4

2016 40 2.97 3.28 24.7 5.8


Tonight, Lester faces off with a feeble San Diego offense. The Padres rank in the bottom five in walk rate (7.0 percent), home runs (25) and wOBA (.286). Lester also gets to pitch in front of a Cubs’ defense which is tops in the league in turning batted balls into outs.

We have Lester as Tuesday’s top-ranked pitcher, projecting him to amass 36.21 FanDuel points. We forecast him to allow 2.38 earned runs on 5.97 hits while fanning 6.07 batters over 6.38 innings of work.

It’s certainly worth mentioning the forecast for Chicago isn’t ideal, so monitor the weather if you roster any Cubs or Padres.
