While we have games spread throughout the day, we’re going to go ahead and focus in on the night slate. We happen to have 12 games in the nightcap, with four games starting before 7ET. What many people will be talking about is the Jacob deGrom vs. Max Scherzer matchup in Washington, but we’re going to avoid that with two hot offenses facing two of the best pitchers in the league. With that in mind, let’s get to a pitcher who has similar upside but is much more affordable.

Jack Flaherty (STL): $10,000 vs. SF
It’s going to be tough to fade that Scherzer-deGrom duel, but I truly believe Flaherty could match either one of them at quite the discount. The reason for that is his recent form, with Flaherty pitching to a 1.01 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 11.1 K/9 rate over his last 10 starts. That’s scary for an offense like this, with the Giants ranked 25th in runs scored, 26th in OBP, 27th in wOBA and 26th in OPS. That’s why Flaherty and the Cardinals enter this matchup as a -280 favorite with San Fran projected for 3.7 runs.
