We jump back up to 14 games on Friday's slate, though it's not as ripe with pitching as one might expect. On the other hand, there's no shortage of offense, with Coors Field once again in play, in addition to teams like the Brewers, Nationals, and Angels

Pitchers to Target
High-Priced Pitchers
Jacob deGrom ($11,200 on FanDuel): There's little doubt that Jacob deGrom is the most talented hurler on the board, and that's certainly reflected in his high price tag. The only problem is his mediocre matchup against the Braves, whose active roster holds an intimidating 112 wRC+ against right-handers with a 21.5% strikeout rate. Still, deGrom owns an excellent 3.29 SIERA, 30.6% strikeout rate, and 5.1% walk rate, and he handled this same team just fine a couple starts ago (59 FanDuel points). Atlanta draws a modest 3.49 implied total, and deGrom is the most trustworthy arm on a fairly shallow pitching night.
