Saturday’s main slate features nine games starting at 7:05 pm ET. We will be using the Bales Model to highlight some of the top options to consider.
Pitchers
The three pitchers projected to score the most fantasy points today are:
Lance Lynn (R)
Framber Valdez (L)
Adam Wainwright (R)
White Sox ace Lance Lynn has been elite this season. Over 130 2/3 innings, he has a 2.20 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 10-3 record and 145 strikeouts. Recently his 9.78 K/9 has been dropping, but that makes sense since he was facing teams that do not strike out often (Blue Jays and Athletics).
Tonight, Lynn will be on the mound against the cross-town rival Cubs, who are in full rebuilding mode. The North Siders are projected for the lowest implied runs total on the slate (3.2 runs) and currently on a two-game losing streak, during which they have surprisingly scored 23 runs. Although the offense has been booming lately, I highly doubt they can put up a similar performance against a pitcher the caliber of Lynn.
