MLB DFS Pitching Primer: First Look

Here are tonight’s pitching match-ups. The home pitcher is listed second and the Vegas odds are listed in parenthesis when available. Remember that some pitchers have extremely large home/road splits.

Vegas lines and implied run totals can be tricky to navigate at times and they do change throughout the day, but they are certainly a great place to start your MLB DFS research. For cash games, I am often looking for large home favorites, while anything goes for GPPs.

Yu Darvish vs. Chris Archer 

Chris Sale (-245) vs. Jacob Waguespack

John Means vs. Austin Pruitt (projected reliever)

Jhoulys Chacin vs. Sonny Gray (-135)

Domingo German (-120) vs. Jason Vargas

Nick Pivetta vs. Bryse Wilson (-140)

Tyler Alexander vs. Ross Detwiler 

Griffin Canning (-120) vs. Ariel Jurado

Wade Miley (-120) vs. Peter Lambert

Mike Clevinger (-145) vs. Danny Duffy

Kyle Gibson (-115) vs. Tanner Anderson 

Shaun Anderson vs. Cal Quantrill (-135)

Merrill Kelly vs. Walker Buehler (-260)

Adam Wainwright (-120) vs. Mike Leake 

We still don’t have some Vegas data for a few games and remember that the Detroit-Chicago game is the second game of a doubleheader today after they got rained out last night (don’t remind me – I had a lot of Boyd and Lopez!)

With two high-priced aces on the slate, which one am I going to lean on in cash games?
