DFS Pitching for 6/20: Be Bold with Bundy?

172

Charlie Morton @ Oakland Athletics 

DraftKings $11,300, FanDuel $10,500

As Charlie Morton continues to prove me wrong, I will still play him. So far this season on the road he holds a 1.59 ERA and a .178 BAA. A number I’m looking at in particular is the 10.72 K/9. I’m not in love with the Athletics offense by any means, but they aren’t pushovers. On a bad pitching slate, in my opinion, Morton is the clear top option.

Jake Odorizzi @ Kansas City Royals

DraftKings $10,800, FanDuel $10,000

I never would have ever thought Jake Odorizzi would be anywhere close to this price this season. He has performed very well and I’m jumping on the hype train. So far this season Odorizzi has been completely dominant against right-handed bats holding, them to a .149 BAA. On the other side, he strikes out lefties at an amazing 12.93 K/9 clip. With the lack of pitching I don’t mind paying up for both of Morton and Odorizzi IF you can fit it.

Frankie Montas vs. Tampa Bay Rays

DraftKings $10,000, FanDuel $9,300

Frankie Montas has turned into the pitcher I always thought he would be. He has had an incredible season so far and gets a tough task again the Rays, but I feel like he can fight through this. At home this season, Montas has a .189 BAA to righties along with a 8.22 K/9. I do fear Meadows and Lowe, but I think if he can get by them he will cruise. This is more of a GPP option for me.

Dylan Bundy @ Seattle Mariners 

DraftKings $7,400, FanDuel $7,300

I know Bundy hasn’t been amazing this season, but his strikeout numbers on the road are there (10.98). I’m either paying down to Bundy or paying up for two studs tonight. Bundy has been able to hold his own against righties, but he struggles pretty mightily against lefties. As the Mariners are in a full sell-off mode, I’m willing to take a good pitcher who is just having a tough time against them.
