MLB DFS Picks — 8/28

Pitchers

I’m fading Kluber and Severino tonight. The prices have become prohibitive and with them going toe-to-toe supported by strong offenses, I’d rather save money for bats. So here’s who I’m rolling with in my lineups:

Mike Montgomery — Threw a gem in his return to the Cubs rotation and he’ll be auditioning for a full-time spot down the stretch. I like the high likelihood of a W and a below-average Pittsburgh offense.

Drew Pomeranz — I like Stroman in this spot as well, but I’ll take Pomeranz against the weaker offense and the better BvP data to boot.

Jose Urena — A GPP flier. Washington’s offense has been abysmal since Harper’s injury, and I think there’s a high ceiling for Urena tonight. Playing Urena will also free up cap space to load up on SEA/BAL/DET/COL bats.

Hitters

Zimmermann in Coors looks to be the best spot on the slate. LHH have a .352 wOBA and RHH have a .366 wOBA against Zimmermann since 2016. My favorite plays from Colorado:

Nolan Arenado vs Jordan Zimmermann

Charlie Blackmon vs Jordan Zimmermann

Gerardo Parra vs Jordan Zimmermann

RHH have owned Pruitt with a .405 wOBA and 39.2 Hard contact rate. Favorite Royals against Pruitt:

Lorenzo Cain vs Austin Pruitt

Salvador Perez vs Austin Pruitt

Some other one-off plays:

Denard Span vs Jhoulys Chacin

Joe Panik vs Jhoulys Chacin

Marcus Semien vs Andrew Heaney
