Phillies vs. Braves Pick: Jared Shuster 5+ Strikeouts | -110 at FanDuel

We’re at FanDuel for this thing because they’ve got the best price. We started in the -130s but for some reason we’ve seen the price drop in the last few hours. Honestly, I think this is a damn good deal. Don’t tell the books but I might have gone with the -130. As for you psychos, I didn’t forget about you. Everyone knows I hate going up to six strikeouts, but for the right price, I’ll do anything. Currently, FanDuel has +200 for 6+ so if you guys want to smash that, you’re more than welcome. I may even join you once I see a lineup.

Here’s the thing about this kid, his game logs make it look like he stinks. Don’t be fooled by game logs though. This kid is just getting his feet wet. Tonight will be his fifth start. Guys show out in their fifth start all the time, everyone knows that. The good news is, Shuster fanned seven in his last outing. There’s a good chance he’s got the dog in him. It was the first time he’s been 5+ but again, he’s only started a few times. Not his fault.

I said he fanned seven in his last start and that was against the Seattle Mariners. They have one thing in common with Shuster’s opponent tonight, the Philadelphia Phillies. The whiff against left-handers. In fact, only one other team has fanned more against southpaws than the Phillies (Giants). Just last night, Dylan Dodd sat three of them down and he isn’t even close to being a strikeout guy. We saw Tommy Henry fan five Phillies recently and the same is true for him. Shuster is better than both of those guys. Couple that with the fact that Nate Tomlinson is calling balls and strikes tonight and we’re sitting on gold here people. Feels right.
