We've got you completely covered. Chicago Cubs This early slate if full of options, so feel free to completely ignore me and go with another stack. While I don't think you'll win, there is definitely merit. We have all seen the Cubs disappoint in match-ups better than this. With that being said, they have the best chance of going off on this early patch. Lucas Sims is only 23-years-old and he will be a good pitcher one day, but that day is pretty far away. He may need a full year or two at AA before making a return, because his numbers now are unbearable. He's held a .361 combined wOBA that's backed up with a 5.5 K/9 and a 34% hard contact rate. He's bad. He now moves into Wrigley Field and faces one of the nastiest offenses in the league. There also back on track and playing extremely well. Don't be surprised if the Cubs put up another double-digit performance very soon. When looking towards stacking the Cubs, it's pretty easy. Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant are musts and you can't stack the Cubbies without them. Next up is Alex Avila and Kyle Schwarber. Avila may not be on the same level as the other 3 guys in terms of hitting, but he comes in at a weak C position and has held a .381 wOBA against righties on the year. He has power and can do major damage if the likes of Rizzo, Bryant, etc. are on-base. If you want to get crazy, go with the elusive Javier Baez. He's always around 3-5% owned and can bop 2 out in the blink of an eye. Main Stack - Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber, Alex Avila Sneaky Stack - Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Javier Baez, Kyle Schwarber Los Angeles Angels The late slate actually doesn't have a ton of teams I want to stack. Of course, you can go to Colorado and get exposure to an offense with a 7 implied total. It's just not feasible unless you pay way down at pitcher. We'll instead look at the new...

We've got you completely covered. Jameson Taillon FD 6600 DK 7000 Opponent - CIN (Mahle) Park - @PIT FD - 29.39 DK - 19.41 We will be ignoring the early slate here, as Jerry touched on Kluber and Morton, who are easily the top 2 options. Instead, we'll look towards this 11-game main slate, where things aren't as certain. We also have some high-powered offenses with expensive bats, so there is merit to paying down. Jerry touched on Scherzer, Archer, and Peacock, who all remain viable cash game plays. Personally, I'll be looking towards Scherzer in cash games on FD and Scherzer + Peacock on DK. With that being said, I'll have plenty of these next 2 guys in tournaments. Taillon, especially, is too cheap. Sitting under $7k on both sites is likely the cheapest Taillon will ever be. He's one of the brightest young arms in the game and will be an ace by 2019. He's already raw and showing off his weapons, with a 9 K/9 and elite 18% SwStk rate. He has struggled against lefties with a .360 wOBA, but take it with a grain of salt. Both lefties and righties have been extremely lucky against Tallon with a .352 combined BABIP. The Reds are a bad offense and they'll be moving from a top 5 hitting park to a below average one. Taillon makes a lot of sense as a pay-down option and I can get on board in all formats. If you like one of the expensive options and don't think Scherzer is a must, Taillon gives you plenty to work with. Dan Straily FD 8300 DK 8600 Opponent - PHI (Nola) Park - @MIA FD - 33.82 DK - 22.28 You know what you get when you roster Dan Straily. Especially against an underwhelming lineup like the Phillies. He's held lefties to a .291 wOBA and righties to a .320. He's definitely a guy you don't target bats against, but often doesn't have the floor to compete. Against the Phillies, he very well may. The Phils currently strikeout 23.5% (6th most), but that number is only skyrocketing with Hoskins...

We've got you completely covered. Baltimore Orioles This early slate has a few different offenses you can target, with the Orioles leading the pack. They welcome the Mariners into hitter-friendly Camden Yards and face off with Ariel Miranda. Miranda was pretty good to start the season, but he's been absolutely horrible as of late. He's allowed at least 2 ER in 11 of his last 13 starts and over 4 runs in 6 of them. He's been atrocious against righties, allowing a .368 wOBA since the ASB. He's definitely going to straighten things out eventually, but he definitely has something going on right now fundamentally. This Orioles team is as lethal as it gets and they do hit lefties better than righties. Manny Machado is the only must-play on the stack, but that mostly speaks to the 7 guys that can hit an HR with ease. You can look up and down this lineup and it's almost hard to argue against anyone. Trumbo is actually one of my favorites, as he will only see around 10% ownership and he can hit 2 bombs with his eyes closed. Go ahead and target a few of these guys as the O's will put up some runs and send some over the fence. They are also much cheaper than Coors Field. Main Stack - Manny Machado, Jonathan Schoop, Tim Beckham, Adam Jones Sneaky Stack - Manny Machado, Trey Mancini, Mark Trumbo, Welington Castillo Minnesota Twins If you've been playing DFS all season long, you don't need much explaining here. You know exactly how bad Derek Holland is and what opposing offenses can do against him. Of course, to preface, he's a major leaguer and he will have a few good starts on the season. This Twins offense is scrappy, however, and I don't see Holland working through more than 4 or 5 innings of troublesome pitching. If you want to know just how bad he is, let's see. Against righties, Holland has allowed a .404 wOBA and 26 home runs in just 99 innings. I have literally checked that fact 3 times because it's so...

We've got you completely covered. Pitcher Dallas Keuchel FD 9200 DK 11400 Opponent - TEX (Cashner) Park - @HOU FD - 35.43 DK - 23.26 This is easily one of the worst pitching slates you'll see on the season. On the early slate, you have Stephen Strasburg and Carlos Martinez to choose from. Not too shabby. On this main slate, you have exactly 0 pitchers I'm overly excited to play. There are some tolerable arms, but nobody that makes me comfortable in cash games. Dallas Keuchel is as close as you'll get and it's only because of his talent. He has been average as of late and is definitely a bit overpriced. With that being said, he's facing an average offense against righties at home, where he's posted a .218 wOBA on the year. The Rangers are much worse against lefties (still not bad) and strikeout more than average at nearly 23%. Keuchel is the most talented pitcher on the slate and in turn the top option in both cash games and tournaments. The match-up isn't bad enough where it pushes me to any of these alternatives. Travis Wood FD 5700 DK 6000 Opponent - SF (Blach) Park - @SD FD - 24.53 DK - 16.22 If you're going for raw points, Jose Quintana and Robbie Ray are the next 2 guys you run into. The match-up is extremely shaky for both and in Ray's case, he's acing the best offense in baseball in Chase Field. If you're forced to pay up for an SP2, I do prefer Quintana. If you're talking in terms of PP/$, Travis Wood may be next. To be clear from the start, he's not a very good pitcher. He's just extremely cheap and will allow you to pay up for whatever bats you want. The Giants are a horrible team and they rarely hurt an SP too bad. You're hoping for 5-6 innings and 1-2 runs here, with the hope for a win. I'll also say limit your Wood exposure to DK. He's simply unnecessary outside of a large-field GPP's on FanDuel. Just pay up for one of the more talented arms. All in all, you have a butt-ugly slate at pitcher. Let's see if it gets any better with the bats....

We've got you completely covered. Pitcher Corey Kluber FD 11200 DK 13100 Opponent - NYY (Severino) Park - @NYY FD - 38.05 DK - 25.21 Corey Kluber and Luis Severino clash in what figures to be a battle of the heavyweights. You have 2 elite offenses against 2 elite pitchers. On one side, you have Severino and the Indians. While I think he's a throng option, I do think the Indians get to him for a few early runs. On the other side, you have Corey Kluber and the Yankees. One of the 3 best pitchers in baseball. The guy with a 12.26 K/9 and 1.89 B/9. He's held both sides of the plate to a sub .250 wOBA and is allowing hard contact just 29% of the time. Kluber is truly at a point where he can't get much better. This is his ceiling. The Yankees are a solid offense, but they K a lot and we know Kluber can provide them. I'll take Kluber 10/10 times against this offense, though the typical Sanchez/Judge can always get a hold of one. Even if they do, Kluber will go 7 innings and strikeout at least 8. He's the safest guy on the board and has the most upside. Expect him to be highly owned. Aaron Nola FD 8600 DK 10200 Opponent - ATL (Sims) Park - @PHI FD - 32.25 DK - 21.31 If you ask me who the 2nd highest raw projection is, it's Luis Severino. If you want to pay up for 2 guys and be super safe, fine. He's just nearly as expensive as Kluber and we have a pivot who we like a bit more that's a bit cheaper in Aaron Nola. Nola and the Phillies host the Braves and their 3.56 implied run total. We all know how atrocious the Braves are on the road and they will be facing off with a very lowkey, but effective pitcher. He strikes out close to 10 batters per 9 and controls both sides of the plate with a .292 combined wOBA. That goes down to a .272 in Citizens Bank Park. He's one of the brighter young arms in the game and faces off with one of the worst offenses. I don't expect a...
