Gerald Colvin makes his Win Daily debut with your best 8/19 MLB DFS Pitching Picks.

Trevor Bauer vs. San Diego Padres

FanDuel $10,200 / DraftKings $11,700

I take Trevor Bauer in any way, shape, or form, it makes for an exciting night in 8/19 MLB DFS Pitching. You just never know exactly what to expect out of him which often leads to a serious lack of fingernails by the end of the night. Regardless, strikeouts equal fantasy points and the Padres certainly provide plenty of opportunity here. San Diego is carrying a strikeout rate of 26.3-percent with a wOBA of .303 versus RHPs. Bauer is exceptionally tough on RHBs, which the Padres are fully loaded with. Sit back, try and relax, and enjoy the ride.

KyleGibson vs. Chicago White Sox

FanDuel $7,400 / DraftKings $10,100

Gibson, over his last two starts versus the White Sox, has 18 strikeouts over 13 innings while only allowing two earned runs (one per start). The White Sox struggle versus RHPs, striking out over 25 percent of the time with a wRC+ of 86 on the season. His 8/19 MLB DFS Pitching price on FD is a real bargain tonight at $7400 while on DK I certainly still prefer Bauer for $100 more.

WadeMiley vs. Detroit Tigers

FanDuel $9,000 / DraftKings $11,200

I just want to go on record and say I hate Wade Miley. His K/9 is sub-par for DFS standards, and I have a DFS past riddled with bad memories involving him as the lead star. As much as I hate it, this is a sweet 8/19 MLB DFS Pitching matchup for Miley Coyote tonight. The Detroit Tigers have a difficult enough time putting their socks on their feet, never mind the struggles versus LHPs, where they are tops in the league in strikeouts. Over the last seven days they are striking out nearly 35 percent of the time while batting a pathetic .233. Just keep in mind in his last start versus the Tigers he did allow four earned runs.

IvanNova vs. Minnesota Twins

FanDuel $7,700 / DraftKings $8,300

I am not going to lie to you here, this one is more dangerous than walking down train tracks after having too much to drink. The Twins are absolutely a high-powered offense versus RHPs and this play is all about Nova’s recent performance. He has only allowed two earned runs in his last five starts including a complete game shutout in his last outing versus the Astros. It seems to me if he can tame Houston for a night, Minnesota is also doable. On a small 8/19 MLB DFS Pitching slate with most of the viable SP2 options on DK being high-priced, I would be willing to take a chance here in GPP play.

DillonPeters vs. Texas Rangers

FanDuel $8,300 / DraftKings $9,000

It’s hot in August, and even hotter in Texas. Peters is my least favorite play of the bunch, but on a limited slate you must take some chances, and this certainly qualifies as one. In Peters’ last two outings he has posted great fantasy numbers facing the Red Sox in Boston, and Pirates at home, striking out 14 batters over 12 innings. He has given up his fair share of runs but the strikeout upside has bailed him out both times. With the Rangers striking out 25.7-percent of the time versus LHPs he is in a 8/19 MLB DFS Pitching spot to deliver some more fantasy gold, or fantasy lemons.
