Pitching

Justin Verlander (HOU): $11,000 vs. MIN
Although expensive, Justin Verlander is far and away the best pitching option on tonight’s slate. He has the best chance at a quality start and plenty of run support from, arguably, the best hitting lineup in the MLB. In cash games, it is hard to make a case to fade Verlander, even though the matchup is not an easy one. The Astros hurler has scored over 50 FanDuel points in three of his five starts and has maintained a remarkable 30.9% strikeout rate. We can talk about how great Verlander is all day. The lack of any other pitching option who can even come close to his ceiling is why he needs to be considered in all formats, regardless of ownership.
