Aaron Nola, P, Philadelphia Phillies

Price: $9,500

Aaron Nola's 3.42 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) is the second-best among starting pitchers in action tonight, while he also boasts a solid 24.8% strikeout rate and 11.5% swinging-strike rate on the year. He hasn't been hugely consistent from a fantasy standpoint, but he has at least 49 FanDuel points in 6 of his 13 starts, and his 39.2 per game on the season are the most on tonight's slate.

He brings that into a terrific matchup as well as his Phillies host the Rockies. Colorado ranks dead-last with a 75 wRC+ against right-handed pitching. They also strike out against righties at a top-12 rate, leaving Nola as a safe option with plenty of strikeout upside.

As of writing, there are still a handful of games without betting lines released, but the Rockies' 3.42 implied total sits as the day's lowest, and getting one of Tuesday's top arms in a terrific matchup leaves Nola as our models' top-projected fantasy pitcher.
