4 years agoTampa Bay Rays right-handed pitcher Tyler Glasnow might throw only two pitches (with all due respect to the 19 changeups that he has thrown), but that hasn’t impeded him from becoming the preeminent strikeout artist of 2020 thus far. Averaging a staggering 15.4 K/9 through his first six starts, the flame-throwing righty has run into considerable bad luck that has hampered his production. His FIP (3.55) sits more than a run and a half below his ERA (5.14), while the xSLG (.471) on his 97 mph fastball is nearly 100 percentage points lower than what has been produced (.551). His next start is projected to come against the Marlins, who have delivered a .371 slugging percentage as a team, tied for the fifth-lowest mark in the majors, making him an elite DFS play.--Jesse Borek
