Jose Berrios FD 9800 DK 11300
Opponent - KC (Hammel) Park - @KC
FD - 30.24 DK - 20.02

We touched on Carrasco and Sale in this early slate, so we'll look at a third option here in Jose Berrios. Berrios, a youngster at just 23, has been more than impressive on the season. Against lefties, Berrios has posted a .293 wOBA and 17% LD rate. Against righties, we see numbers comparable to the likes of elite pitchers. A .224 wOBA, 10.36 K9 and a 17% hard contact rate against righties is insane, especially for a guy who struggled just a year ago. He was one of the top 2 pitching prospects for a few years in the MLB and looks to be paying off in a big way. This is a guy who we may see as an ace for the next8-10 years. He's that good. He also faces a Royals team that is pretty inept, inside the spacious Kauffman Stadium. The Royals hold the 3rd lowest implied run total on the slate and the 2nd highest K projection. Sale is obviously the king of this slate, but Berrios is cheaper and has the upside to put up a very solid game.

Rich Hill FD 8600 DK 11300
Opponent - SD (Overton) Park - @SD
FD - 11.47 DK - 7.55

Wow, this late slate is pretty tough from a pitching point of view. We touched on Greinke in the main picks article and he's the only guy I have some confidence. in. Still, he's in Chase Field and facing a pretty lethal offense if they have it going. After Greinke, there isn't much to fall in love with. We'll take a look at Rich Hill, who is definitely one of the more talented pitchers on the day. He's struggled with blisters in a big way over the past year or so, but has been excellent when on the mound. He's been up an down the year with all of the blisters, but held a .234 wOBA combined in 2016. While you can't expect that again, he's obviously a great pitcher when healthy. He's allowed 4 runs in his last 2 starts and has struck out 15, so things may be on the up. He faces off with the Padres, who rank dead last in the league against lefties with a .280 wOBA. They are absolutely horrible and Hill will pitch well if he's truly healthy. I guess we'll see.
