Friday’s Starting Pitcher Rankings
Tyler Glasnow (LAD) at SD
Tyler Glasnow has pitched like an ace for the Dodgers. According to FanGraphs, in eight starts spanning 50.0 innings this year, he has a 2.70 ERA, 2.43 xERA, 2.73 SIERA, 0.92 WHIP, 6.7 BB%, 32.3 K%, 30.6 CSW%, 116 Stuff+, 102 Location+ and 105 Pitching+.
Glasnow has spun three straight quality starts and six in his past seven turns. Furthermore, the righty has struck out at least nine batters in four of his previous five starts. The matchup isn't ideal, but the betting info is superb. The Dodgers are -170, and the game's total is 8.0 runs.
Logan Webb (SF) vs. CIN
Logan Webb is having a stellar season. However, the primary reason he's the second-ranked pitcher is his dominance at home and the matchup. In 133.2 innings at home since last year, Webb has had a 2.02 ERA, 2.84 xFIP, 0.97 WHIP, 3.3 BB%, 22.0 K% and 65.7 GB%.
Meanwhile, the Reds are a Charmin-soft matchup. First, the Reds are 27th in wRC+ (80) and have a 28.2 K% against righties this season. Second, they're 28th in wRC+ (77) and have a 29.5 K% on the road. Third, Cincinnati is 30th in wRC+ (41) and has had a 26.9 K% in the previous 14 days. Thus, the Giants are -155, and the game's total is a pitcher-friendly 7.5 runs.
Garrett Crochet (CWS) vs. CLE
Garrett Crochet's inclusion as a suggested DFS option is a bet on his ERA estimators and underlying data. In eight starts lasting 40.2 innings, the lefty has a 5.31 ERA. Yet, Crochet has a 2.41 xERA, 2.64 SIERA, 1.01 WHIP, 5.5 BB%, 32.3 K%, 29.3 CSW%, 110 Stuff+, 102 Location+ and 104 Pitching+.
Crochet's ERA is the only stat in his profile that's not frontline-starter caliber. The betting info seems to buy into Crochet's underlying data, as the White Sox are -110, and the game's total is an unimposing 8.0 runs.
Bryan Woo (SEA) vs. OAK
Bryan Woo will make his season debut tonight after opening the year on the Injured List (IL). In his most recent rehab start, he was stretched to 66 pitches. Thus, Woo likely faces a pitch limit, perhaps in the 75-to-85 range. Regardless, he's an intriguing SP2 choice in GPPs at DK.
In 35.1 innings at home as a rookie, Woo had a 3.31 ERA, 3.73 xFIP, 1.10 WHIP, 6.2 BB% and 30.8 K%. The 24-year-old righty was also locked in during his rehab stint, spinning a 0.00 ERA, 2.06 xFIP, 0.44 WHIP, 0.0 BB%, 43.6 K% and 18.7 SwStr% in three Triple-A starts spanning 11.1 innings.
The Athletics are an ideal GPP opponent. This season, they're tied for 10th in wRC+ (102) against righties but have a 25.7 K%. Oakland is also tied for 22nd in wRC+ (86) and has a 27.2 K% on the road. Finally, the Mariners are -136, and the game's total is 7.5 runs.
Suggested Lineup Stacks
Patrick Corbin has the highest xERA (6.08) this season among tonight's probable starting pitchers. He has no business in an MLB rotation. Since last season, the veteran lefty has coughed up a .367 wOBA to 780 righties and a .344 wOBA to 184 lefties. Dropping him into hitter-friendly Fenway Park is a recipe for an eruption from Boston's offense.
- Road (Coors Field)
- Game Total/Moneyline: 10.0 Runs/TEX -185
The Rangers are at MLB's most hitter-friendly ballpark tonight. Texas can smash in a mouthwatering matchup. In seven starts totaling 38.0 innings this year, Austin Gomber's 3.79 ERA is markedly lower than his 4.39 xERA and 4.81 SIERA. Since last season, the 30-year-old lefty has allowed a .405 wOBA to 161 lefties and a .348 wOBA to 601 righties. Moreover, Colorado's bullpen is trash, enhancing Texas's ceiling.
Core Studs
- Tyler O'Neill is a lefty-killer. In 307 plate appearances against lefties since 2021, O'Neill has hit 16 homers with a .384 OBP, .259 ISO and 149 wRC+.
- Adolis Garcia's power is tailor-made for Coors Field. In 159 plate appearances this year, he has hit eight homers with a .225 ISO and 123 wRC+.
Value Plays/Punts
- In 305 plate appearances against lefties since 2021, Garrett Cooper has hit 10 homers with a .348 OBP, .170 ISO and 120 wRC+. He's a steal at both DFS outlets.
- Vaughn Grissom has had a 106 wRC+ in 88 plate appearances against lefties since debuting in the majors in 2022.
- In 218 plate appearances against lefties since 2021, Ezequiel Duran has hit eight homers with a .326 OBP, .206 ISO and 116 wRC+. He's the most appealing punt at Coors Field.
- In 515 plate appearances against lefties since 2021, Robbie Grossman has hit 14 homers with a .409 OBP, .180 ISO and 148 wRC+.
Friday's Top 3 Underdog Fantasy and PrizePicks Player Props
Check out our best picks on the MLB Underdog Cheat Sheet
Tyler O'Neill: 1.5 Total Bases - Higher (Underdog Fantasy)
Tyler O'Neill: 7.5 Fantasy Points - More (PrizePicks)
O'Neill was featured as a core stud, highlighting his exploits against lefties since 2021. He's also raking this year. In 117 plate appearances this season, O'Neill has hit five doubles and nine homers with a .283 batting average, .393 OBP, .606 slugging, .323 ISO and 172 wRC+.
Corbin is a cupcake matchup. In addition, Fenway Park is ideal for O'Neill's outlook for fantasy points and total bases. It has right-handed-batter park factors of 1.133 for singles, 1.176 for doubles, 1.350 for triples and 1.166 for homers.
Garrett Cooper: 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI - Higher/More
Cooper can also benefit from the cushy matchup. He was featured as a punt/value. The right-handed-hitting veteran is an above-average hitter against lefties and can benefit from the matchup and park factors. His prop also loosely correlates to O'Neill's fantasy points at PrizePicks since Cooper is projected to hit three spots behind O'Neill. Thus, if Cooper had a hit that drove O'Neill in, that would have made this a winning prop and increased O'Neill's fantasy scoring.
Shohei Ohtani: 1.5 Total Bases - Higher/More
Shohei Ohtani is borderline unstoppable. Since 2021, he's had a .294 batting average, .621 slugging and .327 ISO against righties. In 175 plate appearances this year, Ohtani has hit 14 doubles, one triple and 11 homers with a .355 batting average, .368 xBA, .678 slugging, .743 xSLG and .322 ISO. Finally, he's had over 1.5 total bases in 22 of 38 games this year.
