Fantasy Picks

From DraftKings.com:

With the league upgrade in the National League, both Cole ($16,800 CP) and Scherzer ($15,900 CP) are strong Captain’s Pick choices, especially given their ability to strike batters out at a high level. Brantley ($12,000 CP) and potentially Alvarez ($12,300 CP) — if Alvarez is in the starting lineup — make for solid Captain’s Pick choices for Astros batters given their left-handedness, while Soto ($14,100 CP) is Washington’s top Captain’s Pick choice offensively.

The Astros have a tick better pitching matchup with Cole on the mound, and if Houston can force Scherzer to get his pitch count up again like they did in Game 1, the Astros could be in position to score off the weakness of the Nationals’ team, which is their bullpen.
