4 years agoChicago Cubs starting pitcher Adbert Alzolay will start against the Reds on Thursday, according to manager David Ross. Alzolay struggled and lasted only 2.2 innings in his last start, but he threw 78 pitches and appears to be fully stretched out. Alzolay will face a mediocre Cincinnati offense that’s posted a .726 OPS so far this season, and the team has struggled against curveballs (Alzolay’s best secondary pitch) with a .248 xwOBA against the pitch this season. That should have Alzolay on the radar of DFS players this week, as he could be a solid inexpensive option.--Sam Chinitz
