I’ll admit, I’m not really smitten with Tyler Mahle ($7,900). He’s a player I didn’t target at all in season-long and I’ve avoided a lot in DFS. Some of that is my own bias as the one time I used him heavily in DFS is the day he gave up seven earned in two IP vs. SF. Today though, I’m going back to the Mahle well. I think some of the problem with Mahle for me is it’s hard to get too excited about a 4 ERA pitcher, which is where his FIP sits and where his ROS projections have him leveling out to. In DFS, strikeouts play and Mahle has those in bunches, rocking a 10.7 K/9. The Twins are Josh Donaldson and a bunch of dudes right now. They have Luis Arraez as their clean-up hitter the past two games, Yes, that Luis Arraez with one dong on the season. This is a choice match-up at a cheap price and I really hope Mahle doesn’t burn me again.
