MLB Starting Pitcher Patrol: DFS Starts and Avoids for 6/3/16

TGIF! We have a full slate on tap as we head into the weekend, with multiple aces on board. There's Noah Syndergaard, David Price, Yu Darvish, and Johnny Cueto, plus more.

In this article, I’ll be providing you with the top starting pitcher streamers for daily fantasy baseball (DFS) and for seasonal leagues for 6/3/16. These picks will range from high-priced / high-ownership options to low-priced / low-ownership options, and will be sleepers and value picks for your cash games and GPPs on DraftKings and FanDuel, and also for seasonal leagues with daily lineups.

There'll be three main sections of this article: our Pitcher Matchups Tool’s top plays, my value plays, and pitchers to fade. I highly recommend you check out the Daily Pitcher Matchups Ratings tool - it's an extremely useful tool for daily fantasy or seasonal streaming for finding the diamonds in the rough. Anyways, let's get cracking!

 

Daily Pitcher Matchup Ratings Tool Top Plays

Noah Syndergaard (SP, NYM) at Marlins

The Marlins have hit better of late, but this is Thor we are talking about. He has 81 K in 63 innings and has a 1.67 ERA away from Citi Field this year.

Drew Pomeranz (SP, SD) vs Rockies

Seeing Pomeranz succeed should not be a surprise. He's always had the talent, just not the health and opportunity. He has a 1.02 ERA at Petco Park this season.

 

Max’s Value Plays of the Day

Jimmy Nelson (SP, MIL) at Phillies

Nelson has reached the eighth inning in three of his last four starts and the Phillies .655 OPS versus RHP is 28th in baseball.

Jake Odorizzi (SP, TB) at Twins

Odorizzi has been much better at home (2.52 ERA) than on the road (4.50 ERA), but the Twins have a .703 OPS versus RHP, 22nd in baseball. My only concern is Odorizzi's short leash.

 

Starting Pitchers to Fade in Daily Fantasy Baseball

Julio Teheran (SP, ATL) at Dodgers

Teheran has been on fire for the Braves (1.38 ERA in May) but you can't win if the offense doesn't score. He has struggled in LA previously (9.20 ERA) and was dealing with a blister on his foot in his last start.

Gio Gonzalez (SP, WAS) at Reds

Gonzalez is pitching in the park with the highest Offensive Ranking and has struggled of late (12.18 ERA in last two starts). His career numbers versus the Reds are strong (1.38 ERA) but there are too many safer options to take this risk.
