Opponent - TEX (Darvish) Park - @TEX
FD - 33.58 DK - 22.04
With Keuchel facing off against Darvish tonight in the battle of Texas, I think we can get both guys very low owned tonight and I prefer Keuchel for a couple reasons. First of all, the Astros are the favorite(-130) going on the road to Texas who they lead in the division by an impressive 12 games already. While Texas is a Top 10 team when looking at overall runs scored this season, they have struggled mightily vs. left-handed pitching ranking 25th in wOBA(.289) and wRC+(75) with a 25.4% strikeout rate. Then there is Keuchel himself who enters tonight leading the league in wins and that is only the start. He has held opponents to two earned runs or less in nine of his 10 starts and one earned or less in seven of those. Wow! The K rate isn't eye popping but respectable at just over eight per nine but he is generating an elite 67.6% ground ball rate to make up for it. Look for the Cy Young form to continue tonight.
Opponent - PHI (Eickhoff) Park - @PHI
FD - 21.04 DK - 13.99
German Marquez is likely the chalk SP2 on DraftKings tonight on the road in Petco facing the Padres. If you are looking to pivot in tournaments jump on the Ty Blach train. *Public Service Announcement* He has literally zero upside with a ultra-low 3.5 K/9 rate since joining the rotation back in late-April. He has been fairly impressive in those seven starts, however, holding opponents to three earned runs or less in six of those starts, going at least seven innings five times. Then there is the matchup vs. the Phillies who have been a tick worse vs. lefties and that says something about how bad they are as they have sucked against righties. Not only that they sit with a 56 wRC+(56!!!) over the last seven days. I wouldn't trust it in cash as the Giants are currently dogs(+110) but he makes a nice option in your GPP lineups.
