Caleb Smith starting at pitcher for Yankees on Sunday
New York Yankees pitcher Caleb Smith has been named the starter on Sunday versus the Seattle Mariners.
Smith will replace a struggling Luis Cessa in the Yankees' rotation on Sunday. In his only other appearance in the majors, the 25-year-old left-hander gave up 2 runs on 4 hits with 5 strikeouts over 3 innings of relief. However, for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Smith has been nothing short of excellent, twirling a 2.07 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 25.0 strikeout percentage over 87 innings while going a perfect 8-0 in 15 starts (16 appearances).
The poor park factor in Seattle (0.894), combined with his high propensity for strikeouts, make Smith an excellent DFS target on Sunday afternoon. numberFire's models project the rookie to score 27.7 FanDuel points at a cost of $5,500 in his first big league start.
