Cincinnati Reds (Leake) at Washington Nationals (Strasburg)
Mike Leake’s typically good away splits have not gone that way so far this year as he’s over a run better in his ERA at home than he has on the road. He has gone in to St. Louis and Boston, though, and allowed two earned runs in 15 innings. I think I’d still rather go with other options today. Without Joey Votto, this team doesn’t offer much for hitting against Strasburg.
Todd Frazier (3B) – $5362
Strasburg is definitely one of the top pitching options today and there’s not much reason to avoid him. With the way Leake has been pitching on the road so far this year, there are some good values among the Nats hitters that I’ll be looking at.
Stephen Strasburg (SP) – $21,998
Jayson Werth (OF) – $5997
Wilson Ramos (C) – $5363
