First and foremost, I'd like to thank all of the loyal readers out there in the Kingdom of Razz. I'd also like to apologize, kinda. You see, what I'm about to do makes me feel dirty. There's no way I would've considered this earlier in the season. Ultimately, the time has come. I'm suggesting Ivan Nova for your DFS pleasure this afternoon. I need a shower. Hopefully he'll pitch well enough that I won't end up crying in the shower. That's another story for another blog. Anyway, here's the thing.....He's facing the Brewers and they're extremely generous when it comes to swings and misses. Milwaukee leads the majors with a 25.2% strikeout rate and over the last 7 days that number jumps to 27.2%. That's certainly not optimal if you find yourself rooting for the home team. For today, that's music to our prospective daily fantasy ears. Their .316 wOBA lands them right in the middle of the pack and the .156 ISO they've produced thus far shouldn't scare you away either.
As far as Nova is concerned, he's never had issues with his control as his 1.91 BB/9 suggests - so he shouldn't stuff the bases with potential landmines. In fact, ever since the trade from the Yankees, he's held opponents to nine runs over 25 1/3 innings and produced a 3-0 record in his four starts. To his credit, Nova is doing a fantastic job keeping the ball on the ground, producing a 2.25 GB/FB ratio which to be honest has played a big part in his remarkable turn around since being dealt to the Pirates. So there you have it amigos, take advantage of his $8,000 price tag, put on your Sunday chaps and jump on the back of my Hog - We're left lane cruising to Nova Nova land.
Here's a look at my favorite suggestions for today's action:
