Friday's Starting Pitcher Strategy

Aaron Nola is the only five-figure-salary pitcher I'm interested in ponying up for tonight and only in GPPs. The other selections come from the middle tier. Wade Miley headlines the cash game recommendations, joined by rookie Logan Gilbert as my preferred SP2 on DraftKings. Steven Matz rounds things out as a GPP pick.

Cash Game Recommendations:

Wade Miley (CIN) at MIA
Miley was underwhelming in his last start, squaring off with the Marlins. However, he'll have a chance to redeem himself in their pitcher-friendly home digs tonight. The Marlins present him a dreamy matchup, ranking 28th in wRC+ (87) with a bloated 28.1 K% against lefties this season, per FanGraphs.
