Detroit Tigers (Porcello) at San Diego Padres (Cashner)
Porcello looked pretty good in his first start out, though his problem is he doesn’t strike out a lot of batters so his upside is somewhat limited. Given his price point, where he’ll be pitching and the team he’ll be facing, I don’t mind Porcello today at all. The hitters are priced a bit high for the most part for my taste, though.
Austin Jackson (OF) – $6790
The Padres have a lot of good prices on their hitters today and even though I’m kind of digging Porcello, I can’t pass up the value their hitters are giving. Cashner is a very “blah” start today for me, I just don’t like starting pitchers against the Detroit Tigers, regardless of where the game is taking place.
Seth Smith (OF) – $5608
Everth Cabrera (SS) – $4945
