PITCHERS
Chris Paddack – at Miami Marlins – $8,900
Analysis: I will go against my rule tonight because I love Paddack and I hate the pitching options tonight. Paddack is facing the Marlins on the road in Miami, where the Marlins like to chip away at pitchers with their terribleness. The Marlins are bottom 5 in team wOBA and strike out 22% of the time. Paddack doesn’t strike out lefties a whole lot, but he whiffs righties at a 11.70 K/9, and the Marlins will have a ton of righties out there today. He could be in line for the win and a QS here, giving up a ton of upside at this price…and you can still stack the Dodgers.
