High Value SP

Mike Foltynewicz-Atlanta Braves (8,600): Overall, Foltynewicz has had an up-and-down year, but he has been pretty solid lately turning in two quality starts before a so-so outing which came against the Rockies at Coors Field. He has gone 1-2 with a 3.91 ERA in July with 25 K’s in 25.1 innings. He’ll have the advantage tonight of facing the Twins who haven’t seen him much in an interleague game in Minnesota. He’s a little over-priced, but in a favorable matchup he does make sense as the Braves look to take their second in a row in Minnesota after hiring a shutout last night.∗

Gerrit Cole-Pittsburgh Pirates (8,100): Cole is still just two starts removed fro this own DL stint, and like Darvish he has gone 0-2 in his first two games back. He looked good in his last outing, though, allowing just one run on six hits over six innings against the Phillies. He struck out seven in that outing and lowered his ERA to 2.99 on the season even though the loss dropped him to 5-6.

Tonight, if the weather holds he’ll face the Mariners in Pittsburgh, and I think he’s a very nice play at this price point which is still reduced due to his time on the DL and his process getting back to top form. ∗∗∗∗∗

Jimmy Nelson-Milwaukee Brewers (7,300): Nelson comes into tonight’s stat against Arizona 6-8 with a 3.40 ERA in his fourth year in the Majors, but he has shown plenty of upside for a Brewers team that doesn’t look ready to contend for the postseason just yet. Nelson has been much better at home (4-4, 2.54 ERA, .226 average against) than on the road (2-4, 4.69 ERA, .277 average against), and he comes into tonight’s outing with some solid momentum (2.63 ERA in July).

Nelson got a little unlucky against the Cubs in his last outing allowing a pair of unearned runs and only making it through five innings, but he had back-to-back nice starts before that allowing just two total runs in 13 innings to the Cardinals and Reds. Nelson will be starting against Arizona for the first time this season, but he did go 1-0 with a 2.77 ERA and 13 K’s in 13 innings last year against the Snakes.∗∗∗
