We've got you completely covered.   Pitchers Luke Weaver FD 5900 DK 5400 Opponent - SD (Chacin) Park - @STL FD - 29.44 DK - 19.47 We touched on Kluber and Stroman in the main picks article. They are still both in play and my favorite 2 options. If you're looking to pay down, we have a very solid option in Luke Weaver. Weaver and the Cardinals host the Padres, after giving up a million runs to them just last night. Let's hope that keeps the masses off of Weaver here. If you're unaware, Luke Weaver is a huge prospect. He was a 1st round pick just 2 years ago and has progressed through the Cardinals camp with ease. Per the usual, a Cardinal pitching prospect is coming through. He's priced like a gas can and he'll let you pay up for bats, while giving you the upside to bink a tourney. The win should also be pretty safe on a site like FD, as Jhoulys Chacin will rarely give up less than 2 or 3 runs in the first few innings. Weaver is an excellent play on both sites and I don't even hate him in cash games on DK as an SP2. Zack Godley FD 8700 DK 8400 Opponent - NYM (Flexen) Park - @NYM FD - 33.63 DK - 22.27 Personally, all my slots are filled. I'm either paying up for Kluber, Severino, or Stroman, or paying down for Luke Weaver. However, there is merit in looking in that sweet middle spot. The ownership will be down and you will guarantee yourself a unique lineup construction. If you've played the last few days, you have probably realized how bad this Mets lineup has been. They are now possibly without Michael Conforto, which makes it even worse. The Mets are an absolute dumpster fire at this point and it's not a bad idea to stream pitchers against them. As for Zack Godley, he's a very solid pitcher. He's held both lefties and righties to a sub .285 wOBA and has struck out 9.74 per 9 in the process. Citi Field is a huge upgrade...

We've got you completely covered.   Pitcher Corey Kluber FD 11400 DK 13400 Opponent - BOS (Pomeranz) Park - @CLE FD - 38.37 DK - 25.36 Finally, a slate with some real pitching diversity. While we've had some solid option over the past few days, it feels like we've been cornered in cash games into 1 or 2 guys. Tonight is a completely different story. We have 3 solid guys up top and a few more down low who deserve some consideration. Leading the pack at $13k is Corey Kluber. While he's going to cost you an arm and leg, he could be worth it. He has the highest floor and ceiling on the slate and will be lower owned than he should be. Boston is far worse out of Fenway and Kluber has been one of the 2 best pitchers on the season. Through 150 innings, he's held a combined .249 wOBA while striking out 12+ batters per 9 innings. The Sox can strikeout and go cold on the road. If anyone pitcher is going to force it, here he is. You can definitely fade Kluber if you like another guy more, but don't do it solely on the price. It's accurate. Marcus Stroman FD 8900 DK 11600 Opponent - TB (Pruitt) Park - @TB FD - 32.97 DK - 21.83 After Kluber, you have Marcus Stroman and Luis Severino. While Luis Severino is absolutely viable and I will have shares, I lean Stroman. He's a bit cheaper and draws an ideal match-up in Tropicana Field. Stroman is an ace and he's treated that way by the Jays. He will go to 110 pitches and will rarely go less than 5 or 6 innings. He's been just as good against lefties as righties and has held both to a .303 wOBA and 7.5 K/9. The Rays are absolutely atrocious and rank 3rd to last against righties at home. Oh yea, they also strikeout 25% of the time. Tropicana Field is much better for pitching than the Rogers Centre and the Rays hold a 3.97 implied total. Stroman is very safe in cash games and does have tournament upside, though I lean Severino there. Catcher Gary Sanchez FD 3500 DK 4800 Opponent - DET (Zimmermann) Park - @DET FD...

We've got you completely covered.   Pitcher Alex Wood FD 9700 DK 12100 Opponent - PIT (Cole) Park - @PIT FD - 36.12 DK - 23.81 When first glancing at this slate, one thing becomes very clear. Pitching is not easy to find. We have 1 elite option in Alex Wood and then not much after that. Fortunately, we do have a strong cash game option in Alex Wood. Wood and the Dodgers will travel into PNC Park to take on the Pirates, who are very average against lefties with a .316 wOBA. They have some big bats like Andrew McCutchen and Starling Marte, but also have the Chris Stewart and Jordy Mercers of the world to even it out. Wood is having the best season of his career with a .259 combined wOBA and a 9.36 K/9. He has been good in nearly every start and has actually shown ace tendencies. He's the most expensive option on the board, but you really don't have an option in cash games. There is no pivot that you can say with even 50% certainty is as safe as Wood. All in all, he will be in close to 100% of cash games and I will be jumping on board there. As for tournaments, it'll be interesting to see how the trends end up. If Wood is going to be insanely owned, I may make a pivot towards our next guy in GPP's. Tyler Skaggs FD 6600 DK 6700 Opponent - TEX (Hamels) Park - @LAA FD - 29.8 DK - 19.7 If you're a big baseball fan in general, Tyler Skaggs is a name you know. He was a big prospect for a while, came up and produced, and then got hurt. He's now working his way back into things and is allowing close to 100 pitches on his arm each start. Skaggs is an extremely talented starting pitcher and he does have the upside to shut down an offense. As a lefty, I will say Skaggs is much worse against righties. He tends to float the fastball and we all know what can happen when you do that to an Adrian Beltre or Mike Napoli. Still, the Rangers have a bunch of lefties and the righties they do have can strike...

Daily Fantasy MLB Hitter Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 8/20/17 Here's where you can find some recommendations for GPP stacks to target for FanDuel and DraftKings.

We've got you completely covered. Los Angeles Angels The Angels aren't one of the more popular stacks and I love that. We have the Texas Rangers as the highest implied team with a 6.75, but I can't get behind it. While Miguel Gonzalez isn't good, he's 100x better than James Shields and Derek Hollan. They are pitching machines on legs and we will be targeting them every single time they throw a baseball. Gonzalez on the other hand, is an actual pitcher with hopes and aspirations. Either way, the Rangers are in play. I just think they may see some inflate ownership after the last 2 days and we don't really care what they did the last 2. Instead, this Angels team is one I'll look to be all over. Usually playing in Angels Stadium, this is a huge ballpark upgrade. We saw Trout hit 2 homers in 2 pitches yesterday and he was my top play of the slate. He's once again that and I will have him a ton in both cash games and tournaments. Chris Tillman is bad. There is no way around it. Since the start of the season, he's allowed a .416 wOBA to righties and a .427 to lefties. He's by all means bad and you can target both sides of the plate. Mike Trout and COle Kalhoun are my favorites, with Pujols and Revere following shortly behind. Don't be afraid to target an offense that usually doesn't have an upside at home. That all changes in Camden Yards. Main Stack - Mike Trout, Cole Kalhoun, Albert Pujols, Ben Revere Sneaky Stack - Mike Trout, Cole Kalhoun, Luis Valbuena, C.J. Cron Tampa Bay Rays Once again, I don't think this will end up being one of the more popular stacks of the day. It's somewhat challenging to stack the Rays when you can go to the Rangers or Cubs, who are aesthetically more pleasing. However, FanDuel points don't discriminate. The balls hit in Tampa are worth the same as the ones in Houston. The Rays see one of the best match-ups of the year in Yovani Gallardo. Gallardo...

We've got you completely covered. Pitchers Brad Peacock FD 8400 DK 9200 Opponent - OAK (Cotton) Park - @HOUFD - 34.01 DK - 22.51 Brad Peacock has slowly solidified himself as a slightly above-average pitcher. He's certainly nothing to write home about, but he's also not a guy you want to target in the slightest. Through less than 100 innings, Peacock has sported a .283 combined wOBA and a VERY impressive 11.75 K/9. He's striking out more batters than ever and it has a lot to do with the introduction to the slider. while he threw it a lot in the past, he's up to 40% this year. Hitters are struggling against it and have only turned it over for a .220 wOBA. Peacock faces a very weak offense here and it shows in the line. The Astros are favored by -204 and are expected to put up over 5 runs, while the A's will sit closer to 3. This is a team that has ranked in the bottom 10 against righties in basically every category, so shoot away. Personally, Peacock will be a guy I get exposure to on SP2 sites. I'm pretty set on the high-end for cash and I think I end up there. Danny Salazar FD 9800 DK 11800 Opponent - KC (Hammel) Park - @KCFD - 32.87 DK - 21.77 This is a guy I won't personally be on (can only roster so many), but I completely get it. Salazar has been absolutely dominant recently and it's always exciting when a guy changes his game and sees results. Over the last 5 games, Salazar has struck out 46 batters and has given up just 5 earned runs. He now moves into Kauffmann Stadium to face one of the most boring offenses around. The only problem here is they really don't strikeout, so Salazar will have to find other ways to get outs. Fortunately, this ballpark is absolutely ginormous and anyone has trouble hitting homers, let alone off of Danny Salazar. He should be able to limit the offensive production rather nicely and if he's able to get his K stuff working,...
