The set-up: Max Fried should be a much bigger favorite here in my opinion. Fried posted a 17-6, 4.02 ERA and 1.33 WHIP to go along with a 173:47 K:BB in 165.2 innings last season.

The pick: Steven Matz on the other hand was 11-10 with a 4.21 ERA last year. Matz through had a "ho hum" spring training and he's been thrust into the spot light after Marcus Stroman went down with injury in the pre-season. Both teams are dealing with Covid issues, injury issues and other off field problems, but from a starting pitching stand point, I believe we're getting unreal value on the visitors today.
