Pitcher is extremely ugly and I find it very difficult to mentioned another 2 guys. That being said, I think Lucas Giolito has to be considered. While the sample size is small, Giolito has been dominant against both righties and lefties. While the Mets are thought of as a good team, they have been atrocious lately against righties with a .302 wOBA in the last month. While I am obviously not comfortable with Giolito in cash games, he makes for a great tournament play. With him sitting at 7 thousand on FanDuel and 8 thousand on DraftKings, he does not have to do too much to make you happy. If you are looking for a guy that is going to get some strikeouts and go about 100 pitches, Giolito is your guy, though he definitely has risk.

While I have not seen a pitch count for Ryu, you can wipe this out if there is 1 announced. While the Padres are bad against righties, they are not good against lefties either. Ryu is probably the best pitcher on the slate if we are talking talent, and while that doesn't really matter, it is always nice to have a guy that has a ton of talent. To be clear, pitching is absolutely atrocious and neither of these guys would be mentioned if this was a regular 15 game slate. Aside from the great pitchers ballpark, the Padres lack both power and speed. When talking upside, however, I am not sure the Dodgers will stretch him out in his first start back from the DL.
Also Consider (I guess) - Drew Pomeranz and Danny Duffy
