Friday's Starting Pitcher Strategy

Chris Sale is my favorite pitching option. However, Robbie Ray's nipping at his heels. The upside of both is immense, yet I expect Sale to be on a higher percentage of rosters, adding to his cash game appeal. Conversely, Ray's a tantalizing pivot in GPPs.

Sonny Gray has a tasty matchup with the Marlins. Meanwhile, Miles Mikolas is greeted off the injured list by the woefully inept Pirates. Since Mikolas is returning from the injured list, he's a touch riskier than Gray -- despite Gray pitching at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park tonight. As such, Gray's the more desirable SP2 option in cash on DraftKings and Mikolas a nifty option in GPPs.
