Knuckleballers are difficult beasts to judge; the wind direction, humidity and stars all have to line up, but if they do, the pitcher is almost unhittable.
Dickey's move to Toronto has not been a happy one on the field, but recently he's shown some of the big money form, throwing a a two-hitter shutout against the Tampa Bay Rays last time out, and he's posted a 1.06/3.05 line L3.
That said, Dickey has a 6.02 ERA at home and his opponent this afternoon, Jose Alvarez, has had a decent start to his career in the majors.
With the Blue Jays hitting just .225 against lefties L10, I think Dickey is worth opposing at the price.
Pick: Detroit Tigers @ 2.30
43 - 50 (-5.39)
