Jacob deGrom, P, New York Mets

Price: $10,100

As much as I'd love to run out Danny Salazar against the Chicago White Sox, he's returning from the disabled list and likely to be on a pitch count tonight, meaning we can't trust him in fantasy. But Jacob deGrom is a great consolation prize.

deGrom has a solid 3.52 SIERA through 27 games this season. His 28.2% strikeout rate and 13.4% swinging strike rate rank top-10 among qualifying pitchers, and would both be career-highs.

He brings that into a great matchup, taking on a Philadelphia Phillies team that ranks 24th with an 88 wRC+, while also sporting the 7th-highest strikeout rate in the majors against right-handed pitching.

Philly's 3.41 implied total is the day's lowest mark, and the New York Mets (-189 moneyline) are Tuesday's second-biggest favorites.
