Pitchers Carlos Martinez FD 9800 DK 11200 Opponent - CIN (Homer Bailey) Park - STL FD - 38.65 DK - 20.19 On the early slate, you can consider Carlos Martinez against the Reds. Martinez and the Cardinals come into the day as -225 favorites, the best line of the day by far. Martinez has opened up 2018 with an impressive 1.75 ERA and 3.94 xFIP while striking out 10.52 batters per nine. The Reds, who are off to just a terrible start to the season, are striking out at a 24.4% clip while sporting a team wOBA of just .280 and a wRC+ of 73. Busch Stadium is the most favorable park to pitchers on the early slate. Martinez has the most implied safety of any pitcher going in the early, and if he dominates the Cincinnati lineup as he should, then the upside knows no limit. Zack Godley FD 9300 DK 8800 Opponent - SD (Clayton Richard) Park - ARI FD - 37.49 DK - 19.59 On the main slate, Zack Godley presents us with a reasonably priced alternative to Strasburg and Sale priced below $10K across the industry. He doesn't hold quite the same K upside of those other guys, on the season he's striking out less than a batter per inning pitched. The matchup makes up for that, however, as the Padres are nearly as terrible as the Reds with a .301 combined wOBA and a whopping 27% strikeout rate. Godley's coming off a rough outing against the Dodgers in Los Angeles where he allowed them to put up five ER in just four innings. He dominated his first two games before that, going seven full and allowing just one earned run in each. He should be able to right the ship with little trouble tonight in a prime matchup with plenty of upside. Godley is a value priced arm that works in all formats.

We've got you completely covered. Pitcher Chris Sale FD 11500 DK 12000 Opponent - OAK (Sean Manaea) Park - OAK FD - 44.53 DK - 25.06 We'll open things up tonight with Chris Sale in Oakland where the Sox continue their weekend series with the A's. Despite having just one win under his belt to open the season Sale has still been his dominant self. He's surrendered three earned runs in four starts and is striking out 12.68 batters per nine. As we approach the end of the opening month of the season, he's rocking a top five xFIP of 2.25 picking up right where he left off last season. The Athletics have an above average .325 team wOBA against southpaws, but they strikeout 23.2% of the time against the split while walking just 6.6% of the time. The one concern, if you can call it that, with Sale is that he hasn't gone more than six innings through his first four starts, though when he does go deep, he's going to pay off huge. Primarily Sale is my lock for cash games with the K upside providing safety even in just a five or six inning night, with potential for huge GPP upside as well. Stephen Strasburg FD 9800 DK 10500 Opponent - LAD (Hyun-Jin Ryu) Park - LAD FD - 39.27 DK - 21.53 If you just can't quite make the funds work in your favor to get Sale, you can always take the savings on Stephen Strasburg. Stras hasn't been as dominant at the dish as Sale has been to open the season. He's run into trouble on a couple of occasions, but when he's locked in, he's got as much upside. Coming off a season where he finished in the top ten in K/9 (10.47) and xFIP (3.27) we know Strasburg has the right stuff, but he's only put together two quality starts through his first four of this year with a concerning...

Daily Fantasy MLB Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 4/17/18 Major league Tuesday brings us a full day of action with 16 games.

Pitcher Corey Kluber FD 11400 DK 12100 Opponent - MIN (Jake Odorizzi) Park - MINFD - 44.16 DK - 24.45 We'll open up tonight's picks with one of my favorite arms to lock in every five days or so, Corey Kluber. I wrote up Kluber in our pitchers/stacks article on Saturday before the Indians game against the Jays was postponed. Here's a little snippet of what I wrote about Kluber then: Corey Kluber ended 2017 with the lowest xFIP among all qualified pitchers in the game (2.52). After a subpar start to the season, the Indians placed Kluber on the DL, and he returned a new man, and possibly with a bionic arm. He ended the season with 18 wins, five complete games, three shutouts, a 0.869 WHIP and 11.71 K/9. He's picking up this season right where he left off. Through three starts CK has thrown 23 innings, allowing four earned runs, on 11 hits while striking out 10.57 batters per nine. Nothing has changed. The Indians have had three days off, and Kluber's been inactive since last Monday against the Tigers. The tribe are still huge favorites (-197) against a Twins team that are slightly above average with a .324 team wOBA against RHP while striking out 24.9% of the time against the split. Kluber's my favorite arm on the slate and it isn't even close. Zack Wheeler FD 6300 DK 7700 Opponent - WSH (Gio Gonzalez) Park - NYMFD - 29.35 DK - 15 Zack Wheeler will take the hill for the Mets tonight in a game that is basically a pick'em. The opening line from Vegas has both Washington and New York at -104. With odds like that why pay up for Gio Gonzalez when we can get Wheeler for significantly less as an SP2 on DraftKings, or a solid GPP option on FanDuel? Wheeler threw a gem in his...

Daily Fantasy MLB Pitchers and Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 4/16/18 We already highlighted Jacob deGrom, Aaron Nola, and Jaime Garcia in our Monday picks article. We also highlighted the Bluejays, and Rockies as popular game stacks at their respective team price points. Here we will look at some other (possible GPP) considerations.

Pitchers Hyun-Jin Ryu FD 7200 DK 9700 Opponent - SD (Luis Perdomo) Park - SD FD - 27.51 DK - 14.36 The Dodgers open up a three-game set with the Padres in San Diego following a tough week at home. One of the bright spots of the homestand was Hyun-Jin Ryu throwing six one-hit innings while picking up eight strikeouts in a shutout of the Athletics. It was an excellent turnaround from the debut Ryu had on April second in Arizona. Ryu isn't a dominant arm by any stretch, he's sporting a 3.53 xFIP with 7.85 K/9 for his career but the matchup today plays heavily in his favor, and the price is most certainly right in this case. PetCo is one of the top pitchers' parks in the majors, and the Padres are striking out 25.1% of the time dating back to the start of last season while their .298 team wOBA is the second lowest in that time. San Diego fields a righty-heavy lineup and Ryu has limited right-handed hitters to a .294 wOBA while fanning 21.9% of batters. If you're looking to pay up at the dish, Ryu will allow you to do so while coming with plenty of upside potential. James Paxton FD 8500 DK 8000 Opponent - HOU (Dallas Keuchel) Park - SEA FD - 30.24 DK - 15.85 James Paxton will cost you a bit more on FanDuel, but he is a cheaper option making a strong SP2 play on DraftKings. He is certainly a strong tournament play everywhere going up against the Astros. Paxton got lit up by the Indians in his first start of the season but has settled in since then. He's allowed two earned runs in each of his next two starts while striking out 17. While his 12.06 K/9 may not be sustainable over the course of the season, it isn't far off from the 10.32 he possessed at the end of 2017. Targeting the Astros can always be risky. They posted the second-best team...

Daily Fantasy MLB Pitchers and Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 4/14/18 We already highlighted Max Scherzer, Chris Archer, and Rich Hill in our Saturday picks article. We also highlighted the Boston, Minnesota, and Houston as a popular game stacks at their respective team price points. Here we will look at some other (possible GPP) considerations.

First time with MLB? Be sure to read our free MLB Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. Pitchers Corey Kluber FD 11400 DK 12100 Opponent - TOR (Jaime Garcia) Park - CLE FD - 45.11 DK - 24.84 Chris Sale. Clayton Kershaw. Max Scherzer. They were all dominant pitchers last season, but Corey Kluber ended 2017 with the lowest xFIP among all qualified pitchers in the game (2.52). After a subpar start to the season, the Indians placed Kluber on the DL, and he returned a new man, and possibly with a bionic arm. He ended the season with 18 wins, five complete games, three shutouts, a 0.869 WHIP and 11.71 K/9. He's picking up this season right where he left off. Through three starts CK has thrown 23 innings, allowing four earned runs, on 11 hits while striking out 10.57 batters per nine. Kluber carries a price tag similar to Scherzer, and it's for that reason I like him in GPP's. While Scherzer has the pleasure of facing the Rockies in Nationals Park, Kluber will host the Blue Jays. Toronto has looked slightly improved over last season, and for that reason, Scherzer will be the chalk tonight. Kluber makes for a strong pivot given he's virtually matchup proof. The Indians have the largest money line of the day, opening as -224 favorites, and the Blue Jays, who K 24.8% of the time project for one of the lowest run totals of the day. The one concern with this play will be the weather. Keep an eye on the sky as rain is in the forecast. If the word is this one should play through, however, Kluber is as good a play as you can hope to find on the slate. Jake Arrieta FD 8600 DK 14000 Opponent - TB (Chris Archer) Park - TB FD - 27.12 DK - 13.99 We spotlighted Chris Archer in the picks article, but we can also consider his opponent, Jake Arrieta, at least on FanDuel. While Vegas favors Archer for the win, the money line is nearly split on this game with only 0.2...
