This is the pivot from Chris Sale. With Sale having a few rough starts over the last month, I do think we see around 15% ownership on Ray. He deserves it, too. He has been great all season long with a .256 wOBA vs righties and a .277 against lefties. He strikes out just as many as Chris Sale (12 per 9) and walks 1 fewer. He's also on absolute fire over his last 4 games. Since the start of September, Ray has pitched 26 innings, accounting for 46 strikeouts!!! No, that is not a misprint. He's striking out guys at an insane clip right now and gets to walk into Petco Park, the largest ballpark in baseball. He's used to pitching in Chase Field, so it's about as big of an upgrade as you can have. The Padres have ranked 28th against lefties on the season with a .309 wOBA and 24% strikeout rate. RObbie Ray is a very good pitcher and there's a chance he outscores Chirs Sale on this slate. I presonally went with Sale in cash, but it wasn't easy.
Opponent - TB (Snell) Park - @TB

If you want to pay down just a bit for a guy who's far too cheap, Jon Lester fits the bill. We know the pitcher he morphs into with things on the line and it's playoff time for these Cubbies. They're hanging on to the division lead by a few games and can't afford to lose any to the lowly Rays. Lester has doinated lefties this year and struggled a bit against righties. He's also dealt with a .335 BABIP, which is tough for a guy that can't hold runners. The good thing with the Rays is that their speed comes from the left side and you can't steal 1st base. Lester has the ability to pitch a CGSO without anyone blinking an eye. His price is cheap and you don't need all that much in a cash game as an SP2. The Rays strikeout 23% of the time against lefties and have posted just a .307 team wOBA, which is far from impressive. I Sale, Ray, and Peacock more, but Lester is someone who deserves attention.
