I’ll restrain myself from the overused pun, but Mike Fiers has been great in his past two starts – 14 innings, 20 strikeouts, three runs, two wins – and he faces a weak Phillies offense. Also, Jake Arrieta is an intriguing pick. He’s been pitching better lately, and the White Sox have been struggling mightily with a 1-9 record in their past 10 games.
If you want to go a little bold, you can try Aaron Nola. He has been nothing short of spectacular since June, but he goes on the road against a red-hot Astros offense. Also, Steven Matz visits San Diego, a team with the worst batting average and fifth-most strikeouts against lefties.

There are a bunch of pitchers in play tonight in all formats, and the Rangers, Indians, and Cubs are by far the best teams to have exposure to hitting-wise. There are still others teams that you can target players from, with the Blue Jays and Dodgers leading that second tier. We look to be good weather-wise, with no PPD threats, and only hot in Texas in St. Louis tonight. Good luck! – Ben Scherr
