Pitchers Carlos Carrasco FD - P 8500 DK - SP 9300 Opponent - SD (Blake Snell) Park - SD FD - 31.13 DK - 15.91 The pitching on Monday is average-at-best so let's start things off by jumping into the game with the lowest total(7) on the slate. In his second season with the Mets, Carrasco has been terrific posting a 3.63 ERA/3.58 xFIP and while he has seemingly alternated good start/bad start for some time, he has provided a very solid PTS/$ floor with 16 or more DraftKings points in five of his last six starts. He also gets a matchup against a slightly below-average Padres offence that has been much worse against right-handed pitching(.286 wOBA/86 wRC+). All things considered, he is my top pitcher on this slate. Hunter Greene FD - P 7300 DK - SP 7600 Opponent - ARI (Madison Bumgarner) Park - CIN FD - 29.23 DK - 15.19 If you looking for safety, I can see a pairing Carrasco with Javier but if you want an upgrade on your bats and can handle a bit of risk, give some consideration to the Reds' top prospect. He already owns the major league record for most 100+ mph pitches in a game(39) and despite a 6.19 ERA, he has tallied 12 or more DraftKings points in seven of 10 starts and 20 or more three times. What really stands out here and the reason I will take on some risk is the matchup against the D-backs who strike out a slate-high 25% of the time and rank in the bottom third in almost all hitting stats. Also consider: Cristian Javier(HOU) who has a slate-low 2.61 ERA and is the 2nd biggest favourite or Ross Stripling(TOR) who is getting a spot start for the Jays and gets a plus matchup(-173 fav) against the Royals Catcher/First Base Vladimir Guerrero Jr. FD - 1B 4200 DK - 1B 4900 Opponent - KC (Daniel Lynch) Park - KC FD - 15.3 DK - 11.52 While the Jays' prices are trending back up, Vlad is still stuck below $5K on DraftKings and leads off the hitter portion of our article on Monday. There finally appears to be some life in Vlad's bat after a prolonged slump as he starts the week on a five-game hit streak that includes three home runs. The Jays also get the best matchup on the board tonight against...

Pitchers Tony Gonsolin FD - P 9800 DK - SP 9100 Opponent - NYM (Taijuan Walker) Park - LAD FD - 30.32 DK - 15.62 The pitching options are pretty sub-par tonight and at the top it comes down to three good, not great options who get average-at-best matchups. I slightly lean Gonsolin here due to his extreme consistency lately as he has tallied 20+ DK/33+ FD points in five straight and six of his last seven games. It can always be risky with the Dodgers pitching staff but more good news as Gonsolin has got up to 90 or more pitches in three straight. I can make a case for and against all three of the top pitchers tonight but Gonsolin is my favourite and top guy in all formats. Keegan Thompson FD - P 7700 DK - RP 6100 Opponent - STL (Matthew Liberatore) Park - CHC FD - 29.88 DK - 14.86 The optimal build on this slate is likely going to be stacking as many bats as possible and that means travelling to the bottom of the salary for a cheap SP2 on DraftKings. It feels like the chalk play will be Chris Flexen against the Orioles but I am pivoting to Keegan Thompson who has been stretched out into a starter's role and has been terrific. He comes into tonight having held opponents to just four earned runs over his last four appearances(three starts) while striking out 14 and walking just three. The matchup doesn't look great at first glance but the Cards are just league average(.309 wOBA/102 wRC+) against righties so at this price, I will take a shot in all formats. Catcher/First Base C.J. Cron FD 4200 DK 5500 Opponent - ATL (Ian Anderson) Park - ATL FD - 12.53 DK - 9.41 Let's kick things off with a trip to Coors and while I prefer the road Braves tonight, I am still wanting some pieces of the Rockies and it starts with C.J. Cron. Despite striking out more and walking less than he did in his first year in Colorado, he is off to a better start hitting over .300 with 13 home runs(4 at this time last year) and is sporting an elite .397 wOBA and 143 wRC+. It's a steep price, but he gets a plus matchup against Ian Anderson who has given up four earned runs in each of...

The Course Muirfield Village Golf Club Par 72 - 7,533 Yards Greens - Bentgrass **Click the image above to see a hole by hole breakdown from PGATour.com** Previous Five Winners 2021 - Patrick Cantlay(-13) 2020 - Jon Rahm(-9) 2020 Workday - Collin Morikawa(-19) 2019 - Patrick Cantlay(-19) 2018 - Bryson DeChambeau(-15) This week the PGA Tour heads to Muirfield Village Golf Club for the Memorial Tournament. You may remember last year with Jon Rahm dominating on Friday(65) and Saturday(64) to take a six-shot lead only to be told post-round he tested positive for the vid and was forced to withdraw. Patrick Cantlay along with Collin Morikawa inherited the lead with Cantlay going on to win his second Memorial in four years. You will also notice two entries for course history on sheet this week for 2020 and that was during the pandemic when Muirfield hosted the Workday Charity Open weeks before the Memorial. Muirfield Village ranks as one of the hardest non-major venues on Tour and that has been especially true over the last two trips where it's ranked 10th and 2nd hardest(stroke average) and that includes the majors! While some of the fairways are fairly forgiving the rough is anything but listed at an average of 4 inches. This means golfers can't just bomb and gouge if they plan on contending for a trophy. I am looking at golfers with a complete game off the tee(total driving/SG: OTT) and leaning towards accuracy over distance and for those players who are shorter off the tee, I will also be focusing heavily on long iron play. That iron play(SG:APP) will also be at the top of my model this week at a course that is often referred to as a "second shot" type course. With all that said, let's get into my core plays for the week. Top Targets...

Pitchers Walker Buehler FD - P 10300 DK - SP 9200 Opponent - PIT (Zach Thompson) Park - LAD FD - 46.39 DK - 24.85 The pitching on either slate was suspect today with a lack of top options and the ones we do get are either struggling or in a tough matchup. On the main slate, Buehler easily checks the most boxes but I can't say as I am overly excited about the price tag. While he has been consistent to start the year holding opponents to two or fewer earned runs in seven of nine starts(2.91), he has a sub 20% K rate. Tonight, I am willing to overlook that lack of upside given the matchup against the Pirates who are bottom three in almost every statistical category. Fire up Buehler in all formats. Drew Rasmussen FD - P 8900 DK - SP 10100 Opponent - TEX (Glenn Otto) Park - TEX FD - 31.84 DK - 17.48 It's a very similar story for Rasmussen tonight and while I am not a fan of the price tag on DraftKings, he comes at an excellent value on FanDuel tonight. He was fully converted into a starter ahead of the 2022 season and has flourished with a 2.68 ERA/3.11 xFIP, has won five of his last six starts, and struck out 14 over his last two. The only issue I have here is the matchup as the Rangers come in red-hot with a 126+ wRC+/.189 ISO over the last two weeks but on the positive side, they have struck out at a 25% rate in that time and have been worse against righties. Fire up Rasmussen in all formats. Catcher/First Base Pete Alonso FD 4100 DK 5300 Opponent - WSH (Erick Fedde) Park - WSH FD - 12.59 DK - 9.4 Freddie Freeman FD 4100 DK 5500 Opponent - PIT (Zach Thompson) Park - PIT FD - 12.51 DK - 9.43 Decisions, decisions, decisions. That is the case at first base tonight as even with a small slate, we have a ton of options whether wanting to pay up or pay down. Let's start at the top with Alonso who has been scorching hot over the last week and half with hits in eight of 11 games with six multi-hit efforts, and four home runs for an average of 13.2 DK/17.8 FD points per game. He gets a terrific matchup...

Pitchers Shohei Ohtani FD 9900 DK 8700 Opponent - TOR (Hyun Jin Ryu) Park - TOR FD - 39.01 DK - 21.25 The options up top are not very appealing tonight so let's get things started with Ohtani who easily tops our PTS/$ projections. He has been elite on the mound lately averaging six innings per start while holding opponents to just five earned runs(1.50 ERA), striking out 33% of batters, and averaging 26.3 DK/ FD points per game. I am not in love with the matchup against the Jays but the good news is Shohei is catching them at the right time as they rank bottom three in runs scored, wOBA, and wRC+ since the start of May. All things considered, Ohtani is our top pitcher and in play in all formats. Martin Pérez FD 9700 DK 8300 Opponent - OAK (Frankie Montas) Park - OAK FD - 31.28 DK - 15.55 This is a bit of a flashback season for Perez who has returned to Texas, after stops in Boston and Minnesota and is playing some of the best ball of his career. Since being limited in his first two starts, he has been near elite holding opponents to just three earned runs over his last six starts with a 31:8 strikeout to walk ratio. While the upside is somewhat limited with a lack of K's(20% K rate) he gets a terrific matchup against the A's who are ranked bottom five in runs scored, wOBA, wRC+, and strike out at the 6th highest(24.2%) rate overall. Perez is an excellent mid-tier option to pair with Ohtani and still leaves you lots of salary left for bats. Catcher/First Base C.J. Cron FD 3900 DK 6100 Opponent - WSH (Patrick Corbin) Park - WSH FD - 9.75 DK - 7.33 While it seems wild to start things off with Cron who is the most expensive option at first, he has actually been better than most of the superstars at the position(Vladdy, Freeman) to start the year. Cron leads all first basemen in home runs(12), is 2nd in RBI(33), and 4th in wRC+(151) and while he has been better at Coors he gets an elite matchup that cannot be ignored. He faces lefty Patrick Corbin who enters with an ugly Ag ERA after giving up 10 earned runs over his last two starts and more alarming is the fact he has given up...
