6 years agoLos Angeles Angels relief pitcher Luke Bard is now starting Thursday's contest as an opener, with original starter Felix Pena to follow and pitch the bulk of the innings against the Detroit Tigers. It's easier to just avoid situations like this in DFS and roll with a standard starting pitcher, even though Detroit has a rather mediocre offense. Additionally, Pena has allowed six home runs in 26 2/3 innings, which is fueling a 4.05 ERA and 5.16 FIP. With 27 strikeouts against just seven walks, he can still be started in AL-only leagues Thursday, even with the opener.--Nathaniel Green
