There was a limited slate with only eight games on Monday June 10 after the Yankees vs Mets game was postponed to a day-night doubleheader today. All points and values are based off  DraftKings.

Winners

Chris Sale ($10,900)

Sale threw a gem against the Texas Rangers yesterday but was forced to take a no-decision after the bullpen gave up the lead. He went seven innings and gave up one run (zero earned) on three hits. He gave up one walk but finished with 10 strikeouts. Sale has been one of, if not the hottest pitcher in the Majors for the past six weeks. Keep going with Sale whenever he is on the slate.

Sale’s Outlook

Sale has been dominating since the beginning of May and has double-digit strikeouts in seven of his last nine starts. Sale gave up more than three earned runs in only one of those games. He is doing his part and throwing a lot better than his 2-7 record shows on the surface. He now has a 0.96 WHIP, which is sixth-best in MLB. Sale’s next outing is scheduled for Saturday in Camden Yards against the Baltimore Orioles. The O’s have a .297 OBP, which is 25th in baseball. Lock in Sale for his next appearance.

Eduardo Escobar ($5,000)

Escobar had a very productive day at the plate against the Philadelphia Phillies, going 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double, five RBI and three runs. Both offenses were electric last night as the two teams combined for a MLB record 13 home runs. Keep plugging Escobar into your lineups.

Escobar’s Outlook

Escobar has been on a tear the past week, as he has a .897 slugging percentage and is batting .299 on the season. This was his second multi-homer game of the year. The Diamondbacks continue their series in Philadelphia against the Phillies. Jake Arrieta is starting for the Phillies and has been susceptible to the long ball lately. Look for Escobar to continue his hot streak.

Kurt Suzuki ($4,100)

Suzuki did not get multiple hits against the Chicago White Sox, but had a major impact. He went 1-for-4 but his only hit was a grand slam. He also had a sacrifice fly. The home run was a “garbage time” HR, but they all count the same. Fade Suzuki on today’s slate.

Suzuki’s Outlook

Suzuki’s value lands more on the defensive side of the game. He is 3-for-11 with a home run and seven RBI in his previous three games played, but expecting Suzuki to continue his ways with the bat is too risky. Suzuki isn’t a player expected to do much offensively.

Losers

Jerad Eickoff ($7,100)

Eickoff did not provide the necessary length against the Arizona Diamondbacks yesterday. He went three innings and gave up seven runs on five hits. He also had two strikeouts and two walks. All five hits against Eickoff left the ballpark, including the first three batters of the game belting solo home runs. Do not expect Eickoff to bounce back in his next outing.

Eickoff’s Outlook

Eickoff was effectively wild in his outing, missing his locations inside the strike zone. With a below-average fastball at 89.5 MPH, he needs to hit his spots to have a chance. The first three batters of the game took him deep, which obviously will make his line look worse. This was tied for his shortest outing of the season with three innings. His next scheduled start is on Sunday afternoon on getaway-day in Atlanta against the Braves. The Braves do a very good job of getting on base, at a .331 clip. Expect Atlanta to work counts and drive Eickoff’s pitch count up early to make him not useful for DFS.

Joc Pederson ($4,400)

Pederson is in the midst of a cold stretch and it continued last night against the Los Angeles Angels. He went hitless in his five at-bats from the leadoff spot in the order with a strikeout and left three runners stranded. Pederson has the ability to catch fire and expand on his 18 HR season, but until he proves he can get hits again, he is not worth looking at.

Pederson’s Outlook

Pederson is currently one of the coldest hitters in baseball, going 2-for-25 (.080) with eight strikeouts in his previous seven games played. He is not getting the barrel of the bat on the baseball or setting the table for the rest of the lineup to drive him in. The Dodgers continue their series against the Angels tonight, but even with Felix Pena coming off a putrid outing last time, you cannot expect Pederson to provide offense with how bad he looks at the plate recently.

Injury Update

The St. Louis Cardinals placed Adam Wainwright on the 10-day Injured List with a left hamstring strain.

Dellin Betances is scheduled to get a MRI today after experiencing renewed shoulder soreness.
