Chris Sale
All factors considered, Chris Sale is the definitive #1 DFS pitching option for todays' late slate of games. Vegas has the White Sox as the biggest favorite on the board tonight as he opposes Trevor May on the mound, so expect some run support. So far this year his K% is down almost 9%, and his walk rate is up 1.6%, but I expect those numbers to move back toward his impressive 2014 numbers. He already has a solid start against the Twins this season, striking out eight batters through six innings of work. His price on Fanduel makes him the runaway #1 option for cash games, as the win is factored more heavily there.
