5 Daily Fantasy Baseball Studs to Target on 5/13/16
Chris Sale, P, Chicago White Sox
FanDuel Price: $12,000
Over the years, Chris Sale has delivered incredible strikeout numbers. However this season, he’s worked with a career-low 8.40 strikeouts per nine innings, mostly thanks to a swinging strike percentage that’s fallen all the way from 14.60 percent a year ago to just 9.80 percent this season.
On the bright side, he’s limited walks and has posted a career-low of 1.79 walks per nine innings.
Sale offers the consistency you need if you’re going to pay $12,000 for a pitcher. He’s pitched seven-plus innings in all but one start, struck out six or more in all but one start, and has only allowed four earned runs over his last five games.
As a -140 Vegas favorite tonight, he’ll face the Yankees, who are 26th in the MLB in ISO versus left-handed pitching at .114.
Chris Sale is the best option for cash games tonight.
