Searching for value in starting pitchers can be a fool’s errand sometimes, but going contra the Verlanders and Darvishes are the only ways to win in DFS, especially when many teams are prepping for the playoffs and resting starters. One big time team that needs to stretch starters out is the LA Dodgers. Rich Hill isn’t exactly the paragon of health, and that means the Dodgers are looking to stretch out Ross Stripling. He’s been coming back from the IL this month, and doing so to the tune of a tidy 1.13 ERA. It doesn’t take too much imagination to see him getting through six when he’s pitching in the cavernous confines of Dodger Stadium. Tampa Bay is one hot hitter (more on him later) or two and timely hitting it’s way to an AL Wild Card spot, by no means a Juggernaut offensively. Stripling’s low $5,500 price tag means you can load up on offense without the risk of Verlander being pulled quickly or Darvish blowing up and making Cubs fans worry even more. Now let’s spend all that extra salary.
