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.
Justin Verlander
Justin Verlander is one of the better pay-up options in cash games tonight. He is a big home favorite, and the price is down from the starts in the past. He also draws a very mediocre offense, outside of Mike Trout and Albert Pujols. The Angels rank 18th in wOBA against right-handed pitching, and 25th in ISO. It is hard to knock Verlander's consistency, with a sub-two ERA in the last ten starts. While the Angels don't strikeout a ton, Verlander is certainly capable of averaging a strikeout per inning. He has a 26.1% strikeout rate this season, and the 5th best SIERA on the slate. He is a great option in all formats.
