Thursday 6.25

Top Pitchers

Jacob DeGrom - $10,700

Jacob DeGrom may be the most expensive pitcher available, but he is just too good to resist. He has pitched 92.1 innings in 14 starts, which equates to about 7 per game. He also has 93 K's on the season with a 0.96 WHIP.  Expect a solid outing from this hot young pitcher against a struggling team in the Milwaukee Brewers.

A.J. Burnett - $9,700

OK, so you don't wanna spend top dollar for DeGrom? That's cool. I can understand that. But Burnett is a guy you definitely don't wanna miss out on. Pitching at PNC Park, Burnett has a 1.27 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. Opponents are only hitting .239 off him, which makes him an attractive candidate for Thursday's contests.

Dallas Keuchel - $9,000

After giving up five earned runs in his last outing, Keuchel's DK value has finally dropped to something a little more affordable. Am I worried? Absolutely not. Although the Yankees have been hitting a hot bat, Keuchel has the lowest BAA (batting average against) in the American League at .194 and is fourth in WHIP at 0.98. At home, Keuchel is 6-0 with a 1.62 ERA. He has also induced 168 ground outs, which leads the majors by far. Need I say more? Just sign this guy already.

Top Hitters

Jason Heyward - $3,900

$3,900! Are you kidding me? Heyward has been on fire lately hitting .440 with four homers in his last seven games. Going up against a mediocre right-handed pitcher in Dan Haren will give him all he needs to get the job done and win you some money.

Hernan Perez - $2,200

Want a dirt cheap infielder? Hernan Perez may have laughable season numbers, but he has a .540 OBP in his past ten games with a .500 batting average. Perez might be worth considering -- especially going against lefty Jacob DeGrom.
