Thursday's six-game slate may be short on teams, but it actually presents a reasonable selection of hurlers, while the bats of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Colorado Rockies should be bumping at Coors Field tonight.

Pitchers to Target

High-Priced Pitcher

Jacob deGrom ($11,500 on FanDuel): Priced $2,200 above the next highest arm, Jacob deGrom is alone at the top tonight, and he's also easily the slate's most talented pitcher. Checking in with a 3.35 SIERA, 31.9% strikeout rate, and 15.7% swinging-strike rate -- all tops on the board -- deGrom is one of those rare hurlers who's avoided the longball in 2019, allowing just 0.83 home runs per nine innings. He may get a mediocre matchup against the Cubs, but pitcher-friendly Citi Field should help keep them off the board, and deGrom still has a higher ceiling than just about anyone else taking the mound tonight.
