The Cubs-Phillies game one is listed on DK, despite a 7:05 lock time, so my guess is that changes at some point during the day. FanDuel had the same issue, but corrected it.

All about Matz and the Mets, as long as he can take care of that pitching hand. Matt Wisler has been horrendous, the Mets' offense has scored more than the Jays, AND has hit the same amount of homers in the second half. Pretty crazy.

Chris Archer - 19 strikeouts in two starts against Boston this season, pretty impressive given the Sox don't strikeout a ton against right-handed pitching. (17.2%) Sox have also climbed the ladder in wOBA and wRC+. He is a GPP play for me, I could see a line with a ton of strikeouts, but also allowing a few earned, probably off an Ortiz homer.

Also, for $6,500 on DK, Ervin Santana is a nice boom-or-bust option.

Worst wOBA versus LHB

Andrew Cashner - .379

Erik Johnson and Mike Wright are in the mix, but don't have a large sample size

Worst wOBA versus RHB

Chad Bettis - .377

Jarred Cosart - .362

Danny Duffy - .348

Alex Wood - .339

Wade Miley - .332

I'm loving the Mets, Astros, and Cardinals tonight. Wish we would have gotten Arrieta for this slate, but I'm looking at Keuchel as my top arm for cash games.

Dong of the Day: Brandon Moss - Really? Yup. He's healthy again, and the park factors at GABP are dreamy for going deep. Throw in Lorenzen's struggles with lefties, and I'm loving Moss tonight.

DK Punt of the Day: Tim Beckham - 2B/SS - $2,600 - I'm not loving shortstop tonight, making the option of punting with Beckham against a lefty rather appealing. His power has been impressive against lefties.

FD Punt of the Day: Matt Wieters - C - $2,200 - In the interest of providing variety, I'll add Wieters as another punt (he and Beckham are both excellent punts on the site they weren't highlighted on, FYI). Wieters has been better against lefties than righties in his career, and Duffy isn't tough on right-handed bats.

DK Value SP2: Charlie Morton - $6,900 - Ground Chuck has kicked his strikeout rate up north of 20% in the second half. What an exciting development! He's a sizable home betting favorite, and he's a great SP2 to complement whichever ace you headline your DK roster(s) with.
