Each day of the MLB season will bring us some major price differences among starting pitchers on all sites. These price discrepancies and the site's roster differences can alter the way we use pitchers on each site, as well as how the field of opponents will use them. Listed below are five of today's top pitchers, each with their salary listed as well as the cafe value that takes into account both the total salary cap on the site and points-per-dollar. We've also provided some betting info for you reference. The higher the cafe value, the better the points-per-dollar play is.
Jacob deGrom
Jacob deGrom's price tag over Alex Wood's is one of the reasons why he is just a GPP leverage play away from him. We have seen good success from deGrom against Washington this season, and now Trea Turner is out of the lineup. Bryce Harper is also out of the lineup, so he is facing a pretty watered down lineup. I won't go into Washington's numbers against right-handers this season, given they are missing two crucial bats. Ryan Zimmerman is also quieting down a bit, while Anthony Rendon is better off against left-handed pitching, than right-handed. deGrom is a small road favorite, and Washington's total sits around four, which is what we are after during the summer days. deGrom has the second highest K% on the slate (29%), and the highest SwStr% (14.3%). deGrom is just a tournament move away from Wood, who is an elite play tonight.
