Pitchers to stream on Monday<\/p>\n

Ryan Bergert<\/a> is only 1-1 in his 13 starts but his ERA is 2.57 with a 1.05 WHIP. He’s punched out 63 in those 65 innings, but Bergert has been a bit generous with walks and homers. Since being acquired by the Kansas City Royals<\/a> at the trade deadline, he sports a 2.43 ERA and 0.99 WHIP. Bergert opens the fantasy week with a road start against a Cleveland Guardians<\/a> offense averaging the fewest runs per game over the last month.<\/p>\n

Since the break, Yu Darvish<\/a> recorded a 5.61 ERA, but his 4.16 xFIP suggests he’s an above-average pitcher. His main issue is homers and on Monday, the San Diego Padres<\/a> righty faces the Cincinnati Reds<\/a> in Petco Park. Not only do the Reds carry the third-lowest home run rate over the past month, but they’ll also experience a steep park downgrade.<\/p>\n

Jose Quintana<\/a> registered a quality start in four of his previous six outings, including last time out against the potent Philadelphia Phillies<\/a>. The Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> seek to build on MLB’s best record in Arlington against the Texas Rangers<\/a>. The veteran lefty will face a depleted lineup missing Corey Seager<\/a>, Marcus Semien<\/a> and Adolis Garcia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pitchers to avoid on Monday<\/p>\n

Aaron Nola<\/a> has struggled since missing three months with ankle and rib issues. After coming off the IL, he’s posted an 8.38 ERA and 1.50 WHIP. Meanwhile, the New York Mets<\/a> lead the league in runs per game over the past month. Despite his successful track record, it’s best to avoid Nola when the Phillies host the Mets in the opener of a key NL East matchup.<\/p>\n

Hitters to stream on MondayBetting tips<\/p>\n

Best\/worst pitcher\/hitter matchups and betting projections are generated by THE BAT X, a system created by Derek Carty using advanced methods like those used in MLB front offices, accounting for a variety of factors including player talent, ballparks, bullpens, weather, umpires, defense, catcher pitch-framing, and lots more. Betting projections for every player, team, and game can be found at EV Analytics.<\/p>\n

Note: Expected Value is a measure of how good a bet is, factoring the probability that it will win versus the odds the book is providing. If you were to wager $1.00 100 times on a bet with an Expected Value of $25, you would win some and you would lose some, but in the end you would expect to come away with $25 in profit on your $100 investment.<\/p>\n
