Pitchers to Target

High-Priced Pitchers

Chris Sale ($11,400 on FanDuel): As one might expect, Chris Sale is the most expensive arm on the board by a fairly wide margin and with good reason. He hasn't missed a beat in 2018, owning a pristine 2.34 SIERA, 36.3% strikeout rate, and 5.3% walk rate through five starts. The one concern early on was that the Boston Red Sox were keeping Sale's pitch count down, but after chucking it 109 times in his last outing, we can probably put that to rest. He's a sizable favorite against Marco Estrada, and the Toronto Blue Jays are only seeing a 3.35 implied team total. He's the obvious top choice tonight.
