Houston Astros (Cosart) at Detroit Tigers (Scherzer)

The Astros are a no-fly zone all around today.

Scherzer is far-and-away the most expensive pitcher today (and if my records are right, of the season) at over $27K. He did have a 3.6 ERA in 15 innings against the Astros last year. In order to meet value, he has to outperform his average on the season by nearly 30-percent. That is way too much risk for me. The Tigers hitters are exceedingly expensive as well.

Ian Kinsler (2B) – $8184

Austin Jackson (OF) – $7721
