There are four games on tap for the early slate, and the notable pitchers for those are Jose Quintana vs. the Blue Jays, Michael Fulmer vs. the Dodgers, and Michael Wacha vs. the Pirates. Out of those, Wacha is the one to target.
Stephen Strasburg makes his long-awaited return, but it remains to be seen how far the Nationals will push him. Be sure to check on updates before rostering him. Trevor Bauer has been dominant lately, although his matchup isn’t the best. Ty Blach will likely go deep, but the amount of strikeouts he produces will likely underwhelm. Kevin Gausman might be opposite from Blach. In his last outing against the Angels, he went 5.2 innings, but he had six strikeouts. Another name to consider is Collin McHugh.
