Ervin Santana, Mike Leake, and Jason Vargas are all pitchers who don’t strike out a ton but have won a lot of games and pitched in dominant manners often throughout the season. Michael Pineda, Sonny Gray, and Marco Estrada offer more Ks but are a bit more volatile.
If you really want to get boom-or-busty, Trevor Bauer, Jon Gray (in Colorado), and Edinson Volquez are also starting today. Consider Bauer is facing the facing the Padres, he will likely be a pretty popular option.

We have a 12-game main slate tonight, which does come with some weather concerns. The game in St. Louis (Marlins-Cardinals) is the main one to watch currently. The Tigers, Rangers, and Rockies are all projected to score over six runs on our Vegas odds page Arizona is the only team projected for under three runs, and the Reds projected total has dropped a half a run since it’s opening total already.
Overall, this slate is very wide open. The Playbook will consist of some top and value options today, and your lineup routes may be based more on the site pricing over any must-plays tonight. Good luck!
