Max Scherzer

Scherzer is the guy to pick in cash games tonight. He has arguably been the best pitcher in baseball this year and has a dream matchup against the Marlins at their friendly pitching ballpark in Miami. Max is a -270 favorite from vegas tonight, which is the best favorite of the night so far. He should be able to mow down the marlins hitters, in which should be an easy win.

James Paxton

Paxton is a perfect GPP pitcher on the night. He could be overlooked a bit, while presenting minimum risk. Like Max, Paxton is a huge favorite tonight in a low projected total. We have seen a couple times where Paxton can absolutely light up the stage. He has a 16 strikeout game AND a no-hitter so far this year already. In a favorable matchup at home against the Twins, I will be getting my Paxton exposure tonight.

Ross Stripling

Stripling is very under the radar tonight on this big MLB slate. He is another pitcher in a fantastic position, at home against the Padres, one of the worst hitting teams in baseball. This game presents a low total and a high favorite in Stripling just like the previous two pitchers I mentioned. Stripling makes for an awesome GPP pick just like Paxton. He is a whomping $6,700 over on FanDuel, which opens up tons of salary for power bats in your lineup. Stripling is coming off of back to back awesome games and I don’t see a different result tonight against the AAA SD Padres.
