Trevor Bauer - P, at CWS ($11,500)
Bauer has been throwing at an elite level this season, posting a 5-4 record with a 2.62 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP through 13 starts. He has also recorded an elite 0.5 HR/9 to go along with an 11.4 K/9.

Bauer is a -169 favorite in a game set at 8.5 runs, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.
Nick Pivetta - P, vs COL ($7,500)
Pivetta has struggled at times this season, but he has looked outstanding at home. Through seven home starts, he has recorded a 3-2 record with a 2.20 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP. He also owns a 0.4 HR/9 and an 11.0 K/9 in Philadelphia this season. He gets a good matchup against the Colorado Rockies, who have struggled away from home this season.
