Starting Rotation 7.3

Starting Rotation 7.3

It is Split Slate Saturday and we have six games in the afternoon and seven in the evening! That's a whole lot of MLB action and more chances for us to win some money. The Afternoon slate has some solid options at every price point while the evening....well, the evening looks ghastly. For that reason, we'll do the full breakdown in the afternoon and the notes in the evening. Let's go to work in the Starting Rotation 7.3! 

Starting Rotation 7.3 - Afternoon Targets 

Yu Darvish 

This spot profiles extremely well for Darvish today. He gets the Phillies who whiff 24.9% of the time and even though the wOBA is higher to righties for Darvish at .273, the K rate jumps to 33.7%. That's what we like to see when Darvish should face five righties plus the pitcher. Philly is 12th against the cutter but that doesn't destroy this matchup in my eyes.
