Tyler Chatwood Riding Momentum Into Thursday Start
4 years agoChicago Cubs starting pitcher Tyler Chatwood is off to a surprisingly terrific start to the 2020 season, and he'll have a favorable matchup against the Royals on Thursday. The right-hander has struck out 19 batters over 12 2/3 IP this season, allowing just one run and four walks on his way to a 2-0 record. The Royals offense has managed just a 79 wRC+ and a ho-hum .644 OPS versus righties this year, while owning the lowest walk rate in the league (4.3% BB%). Chatwood's comeback season should continue in this matchup, making him a must-play in season-long leagues and an intriguing DFS option for Thursday's slate.
