Healthy looking slate for a Monday, some real nice options from which to choose and it all starts at 7pm ET so everything is on the table. Here’s a look at what I’m seeing:

Jose Fernandez, MIA – He’s coming off an outstanding seven-inning shutout in his last start, has three quality starts in his last four appearances and in three starts against the Mets this year, he’s got a 1.42 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP and 26 strikeouts in just 19 innings.
Jake Arrieta, CHC – He appeared to be slowing down and then got a breather with an eight-inning shutout against the hapless Padres. The Pirates have just a .307 wOBA over the past week and Arrieta owns a 2.67 ERA with 33 strikeouts over 27 innings against them this year.
Yu Darvish, TEX – The Mariners are looking uglier than ever with their .260 wOBA and 26.4-percent strikeout rate over the past week. That .126 ISO over that span sure isn’t helping their cause either.
Rick Porcello, BOS – Always tough to use a guy in the second of a back-to-back against a team, but the Rays have been crazy soft at the plate and Porcello owns them this year with a 2.60 ERA and 30 strikeouts over 27.2 innings. With a 25.4-percent strikeout rate and a dismal 4.6-percent walk rate, these Rays are not posing much of a threat.
Tanner Roark, WAS – The Phillies are back to be an offensive mess right now and have a league-worst .257 wOBA over the past seven days. To go with that, a 25-percent strikeout rate should allow Roark to post a strong total on all DFS sites tonight.
Trevor Bauer, CLE – The run support might be tough to get, but the Twins can definitely be held down, especially with their .300 wOBA and 20.5-percent strikeout rate over the last week. Yes, Bauer got smacked around his last time against them, but prior to that outing he posted a solid effort against them and should do the same.
Hisashi Iwakuma, SEA – It’s going to be tough to wrangle the win away from Darvish, but Iwakuma shouldn’t have too much trouble with the Rangers who are sitting on a lowly .272 wOBA and 25.1-percent strikeout rate over the past week.
Joe Musgrove, HOU – How about a nice dart for you low-cost GPP tournaments? Musgrove has been smacked around in his last three starts, all on the road, but gets a home start here where he’s pitched significantly better. It should also help that the A’s have posted just a .283 wOBA with a 22-percent K-rate over the last seven days.
Rafael Montero, NYM – The ultimate dart, but unfortunately you can only use him as a second started on Draft Kings. But imagine the bats you’ll be able to get into your lineup with his $4,000 price tag. Tough to earn the win opposing Fernandez, but the Marlins are currently sitting on a .266 wOBA with an insanely poor .035 ISO over the last week.
