Top Tier
Aaron Nola, PHI - One of the few games without weather concerns for the main slate. It has been an up and down season for Nola when it comes to effectiveness. In his last outing he had 10 strikeouts which included a run of 10 straight strikeouts against the Mets. The start prior to that he was shelled for six runs over 2.1 innings. Before that he tossed 7.2 inning of shutout baseball...you get the picture. In his lone start against Miami this season he allowed one run on two hits over six innings while striking out six. I like the matchup, so lets hope this is a continued trend of good starts for Nola.
Chris Bassitt, OAK - He has been phenomenal all season long and just beat the Rangers in his last start, allowing one run over seven innings while striking out four. As long as he can fade the home run ball from the surging Joey Gallo then I see little issue here for Bassitt. I expect him to pitch deep into this game and pick up those coveted quality start bonus points over on FanDuel.
Mid Tier
Shohei Ohtani, LAL - Ohtani has smoked the Yankees all series long with his bat and now he gets a chance to do it with his arm. In his last start we saw Ohtani allow just one hit over six innings while striking out nine. The Yankees offense has been a mess for most of this season and they are definitely prone to striking out. As long as Ohtani can avoid the home run ball he should be in a great spot tonight.
Max Fried, ATL - Fried is off the IL after dealing with a blister and will start tonight for the Braves. He had a 3.55 ERA over his last 10 appearances, and took down the Mets in his lone matchup against them this season as he allowed just one run over six innings while striking out eight. We have been going at this Mets offense all season long and Atlanta is the favorite to win tonight which bodes well for Fried's win bonus upside.
Value Tier
Martin Perez, BOS - Will need to watch for weather here but Perez had just faced the Royals two starts ago and tossed five innings of one run baseball in a Red Sox victory. He finished with 16 fantasy points in that outing which is more than enough to pay off the sub-$7,000 DK price tag.
