EARLY Pitchers 9/7 ⚾️ 🏖️

Jesus Luzardo vs ATL 3.8 runs: The Braves are one game behind LAD and 2.5 from MIL for the best record in the NL. Still, Luzardo has great appeal with 6+ Ks in 14 of his last 15 starts, resulting in 12 per nine innings. It will not be an easy task this afternoon, though this is the first time he has faced Atlanta this season.

Joey Cantillo at BAL 4.0 runs: In not so surprising news, Luis Robert Jr. is back on the IL, because that appears to be his happy place. The projected lineup for the O's has a whopping seven high-strikeout candidates (HKCs), which gives Cantillo ample opportunities to erase the results of earned runs for his DFS supporters. He is also at a career-high for innings and allowed nine runs in his last start, though fiver were unearned. It may not be pretty to watch, but this iteration of the Baltimore offense is shaky at best aside from the top four.

Trevor Rogers vs CLE 3.7 runs: Like his counterpart, Rogers is at a career-high workload, though he has 6+ Ks in 8 of his last 9 games, with only 6 BBs and 6 HRs in these 54 IP. He will need to navigate the usual suspects at the top of the lineup card, though the bottom of the order should allow him to make up ground or even get ahead.

Eury Perez vs NYM 4.1 runs: The #LOLMets are thinned out by trades and injuries, while Perez is in poor current form with his last two starts seeing him for basically zero DFS points. He has K-potential, but it has been hiding for the last couple of outings.
