Today’s slate only offers a couple of aces worth paying up for thanks to the struggles of Luis Severino. I’ll pair one of Corey Kluber or Zack Greinke him with a cheap starter to load up on a little extra offense. The Cubs/Phillies matchup should see some rain before and during the game, with the potential for cancellation if things get too bad.
Zack Wheeler ($5100): The 28-year-old has been totally dominant for more than a month, going 6-0 over his past seven starts with a 1.17 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 44 strikeouts against 10 walks in 46.0 innings. He’s in San Francisco’s friendly park against an even friendlier lineup.
Harrison Bader ($2600): The Cardinals’ breakout center fielder will be a hot name during next year’s draft season. For now, he’s a dirt cheap play against the Reds and the struggling Homer Bailey. Bader has hit .303 over the past month with a .917 OPS, four home runs, 13 RBI and three bags.
