Jeff Samardzija FD 8600 DK 7600
Opponent - PIT (Williams) Park - @SF
FD - 38.13 DK - 25.13

Let's be honest, Jeff Samardzija has not been good lately. He's struggled in recent starts and while he hasn't fallen apart, the hinges are squeaking. Fortunately, we know who Jeff Samardzija is. This is a guy with a long track record that has proven himself over and over. As for this season, he's held drastic splits between lefties and righties, dominating the ladder. He's striking out close to 10 batters per 9 innings and has had some big games. The game will also be played in AT&T Park, so he has some room for error. He faces a very average Pirates team that has ranked 18th against righties in terms of wOBA at .311. All in all, there is some risk. However, this is a short slate and if you can't pay up for Sale or Severino, this is your best option.

Carlos Martinez FD 8900 DK 8400
Opponent - COL (Hoffman) Park - @STL
FD - 36.96 DK - 24.36

I ended up going with Wood for the main picks article, but could have easily gone Carlos Martinez. He has been great this season and takes on a Rockies team who is far worse on the road. The Rockies get some ill-deserved respect from DFS players due to them always being in play. We have to remember why they are in play so often. Outside of Coors Field, most of these guys are a shell of themselves. The only worries are Blackmon and Arenado, who don't rely on any type of ballpark for production. Martinez has been worse against lefties, but not horrible. He is striking out close to 10 and walking nearly 3. Busch Stadium is surely a pitchers park and Martinez has been exceptional there. If you want to save some funds or simply make a minor from Alex Wood, Carlos Martinez is a great way to go.
