Sorry folks, Game of Thrones and Avengers: Endgame got my attention Sunday, so there’s was no hope for me to diligently put together a solid piece of content for Monday…
But there will be no spoilers here, so don’t fret.
I won’t tell you that in Game of Thrones, Season 8, Episode 3, that Dumbledore Calrissian cast the ring into the fires of Mordor…(if you get that reference, we might could be friends).
Anyway, we are nearing the end of the first month of the 2019 baseball season, so I hope we all can end it with a bang.
Because in May, things will most absolutely change. It gets warmer, roofs close, and these juiced balls will take flight even more.
We have a full 15-game slate to dive through tonight. Let’s remember that pricing is in a FanDuel/DraftKings format.
There are tons of studs and tons of duds at the pitching position, so who are we going to pick on toda
PITCHERS
Vince Velasquez – vs. Detroit Tigers – $8,200/$8,700
Analysis: There are a ton of stud pitchers to pay up for, but Velasquez is one of the better options in the mid-tier and might be the value pitcher of the day when his score is settled. He and the Phillies take on the Detroit Tigers at home. Velasquez has prominently been a guy who struggles with lefties. The good thing for him is he is historically great against RH bats. The Tigers have a lot of right-handed bats. Detroit is 25th in wOBA against righties, are 29th in ISO and strikeout 25.8% of the time. Velasquez owns a .272 wOBA against RH bats this season, along with a 9.22 K/9 rate. Velasquez has been tough on lefties this season, too, owning a 3.95 xFIP and .274 wOBA.
