Pitchers to Target
High-Priced Pitchers
Trevor Bauer ($10,800 on FanDuel): Tonight's highest-priced pitchers are Trevor Bauer and Patrick Corbin ($10,300), and while they've both taken a step back from their brilliant 2018 campaigns, they draw plus matchups against the Reds and White Sox, respectively. Bauer has been particularly underwhelming at times this year, struggling more with walks (10.3% rate) and showing a worse SIERA (4.27) than any of the past five seasons. Still, he has a solid 26.5% strikeout rate and 12.4% swinging-strike rate, and the Reds' active roster only has an 86 wRC+ against righties, so this could be the right spot to put up a big score. He's numberFire's top projected hurler on the night.
