DraftKings MLB Lineup Advice: Monday (9/17)

DraftKings MLB Lineup Advice: Monday (9/17)

We’ve got a 12-game slate today on DraftKings, which is pretty big for a Monday slate, which is normally a travel day in the MLB. It is expected to be a low-scoring slate as well. As of writing this CIN @ MIL has the highest expected total with a 9.0 O/U, though three games don’t have a total yet due to uncertain starting pitching.

Pitchers

Stephen Strasburg (WAS): $9,500 @ MIA
This pricing seems a little low considering Strasburg looked to be back in form last time out with a nine-strikeout performance in Philadelphia. He gets an even easier matchup tonight against the Marlins in pitcher-friendly Marlins Park. The Marlins have a .290 wOBA and league-worst .121 ISO against right-handed pitching this season. Strasburg still has an ace-like 3.27 xFIP and 4.43 K/BB ratio on the year. A four-figure Stephen Strasburg against Miami is a must play on this slate.

Andrew Suarez (SF): $6,400 @ SD
In three of his last four starts (excluding a Coors Field outing) Suarez has a 1.35 ERA. On the season Suarez has a 4.33 ERA, but his 3.67 xFIP and 3.1 K/BB ratio suggest that Suarez has pitched much better than that. He gets an easy matchup against the Padres in San Diego as well. The Padres have a .300 wOBA and 88 wRC+ against lefties this season with a 23.8% strikeout rate. As a cheap SP2 Suarez is a great option in this game.
