With 16 games on the day, we have a plethora of options to choose from. At pitcher, you have plenty of options. While 3 may stand out above the rest, you can go a multitude of different ways in tournaments. Make sure to check out the pitcher-specific article for some tournament pivots. As for cash games, Kluber is going to be the top dog. He has one of the best possible matchups in the league and moves into a top 10 pitching ballpark. If you don't like Kluber here, you are never allowed to play him again. The guy has been elite on the season and there's an argument that he's been the best, sporting a .247 combined wOBA and 12.41 K/9. He has gone over 110 pitches twice on the season and will be trusted to go for 9 innings in the right spot. This Rays team could definitely be that spot, as they've ranked 28th in baseball against righties and strikeout the 2nd most at 25%. While there are a lot of options on the slate, you can expect Kluber to be highly owned. Along with Scherzer, expect 25-30% in cash games. I'll take it all day. Max Scherzer FD 11500 DK 13700 Opponent - SF (Samardzija) Park - @WSH FD - 38.38 DK - 25.38 In cash games, Kluber and Scherzer are easily my favorite options. On FanDuel, it's going to be a coin flip that likely dependent on the opposing lineup strength. Scherzer sees the best possible match-up in baseball against the Giants, who have posted a .291 wOBA against righties on the year. They don't K a ton, but they also don't face Max Scherzer every night. Scherzer averages over 12 K's per 9 and will force a conservative team to K plenty. Against righties, there's no point of stepping in the box. A .193 wOBA and 14.06 K/9 against righties is purely insane and all-time level elite. Against lefties, a .302 average is normal. The Giants are righty heavy and the only lefties...

He's been atrocious against both sides of the plate, dating back to 2015. He's allowed a .371 combined wOBA and is striking out just under 7 batters per 9, while walking over 4. Shields is just a bad pitcher at this point and doesn't have too many major league innings left in the tank. This Royals team will move from Kauffman Stadium to Guaranteed Rate Field, which is a huge upgrade. GRF has played top 10 for the past few years for power and run production. This Royals offense may not come off as such, but they are lethal. They can drive in runs with the best of them and have a few guys who can park one in the seats. Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer are my 2 favorite plays and I wouldn't sport a Royals stack without either. After that, you can go anywhere. This offense is one of the least concentrated in baseball. Cabrera, Cain, and Merrifield are my next 3 favorites and ultimately a toss-up. Main Stack - Mike Moustakas, Eric Hosmer, Mely Cabrera, Lorenzo Cain Sneaky Stack - Mike Moustakas, Eric Hosmer, Whit Merrifield, Brandon Moss Chicago Cubs The Royals are the clear stack of the night and I don't see there being a 2nd one that stands out. The Cubs do face a lefty in Chase Field, so let's take a look. Patrick Corbin isn't a horrible pitcher, but he struggles mightily against right-handed pitching. he's allowed a .371 wOBA on the year and an astounding 16 homers. The Cubs are obviously one of the more lethal offenses in baseball and you have to respect them against a lefty. Kris Bryant and Willson Contreras are far and away y top plays, with Zobrist and Baez a close 3rd and 4th. This entire lineup can move in a lot of different ways, so wait for it to be announced before you decide on roster construction. They do...

Pitchers Aaron Nola FD 9500 DK 10400 Opponent - NYM (Matz) Park - @PHIFD - 32.96 DK - 21.77 While you don't really have to pay up at pitcher on this slate, you certainly can. Aaron Nola has been great recently and has plenty of upside in a match-up with the Mets. The Mets aren't a great match-up, but they aren't horrible either. They're ranked 8in baseball in terms of wOBA, but strikeout over 20% of the time. Aaron Nola on the other side, is very consistent. He's held righties to a .358 wOBA and lefties to a .305. He strikes out nearly 9 batters per 9 innings and should be able to limit the damage at home. This slate doesn't have a lot of pitching, so Nola definitely has some safety for his price. I don't think he's a must, but I don't hate it either. Dylan Bundy FD 8100 DK 8400 Opponent - OAK (Manaea) Park - @OAKFD - 26.79 DK - 17.98 We touched on Carlos Martinez and Hyun-Jin Ryu in the main picks article and they both remain top plays on the slate. They are in solid match-ups and should be a somewhat solid bet to come through. Moving down the pricing range a little bit, you run into Dylan Bundy. There's an argument to be made that Bundy is right with Martinez and Ryu. His upside is definitely there, if not higher. Bundy is one of the best prospects in baseball and is expected to be an ace before it's all said and done. The Oakland A's aren't s team you necessarily look to target, but you certainly don't run away. They are average at best against righties and strikeout nearly 22% of the time. Bundy may be a bit risky, but the upside is there and the price is cheap. Try out InGame Fantasy for a totally new DFS experience.

My favorite of the bunch happens to be the Brewers, who are facing off with Bartolo Colon. Colon is not only one of the worst pitchers on the slate, but one of the worst in the league. He's allowed a .407 wOBA to righties and a .384 to lefties. He gives up a ton of homers and isn't nearly as good at holding runners as he once was. Colon also got super lucky last week, which could keep some folks off the Brewers. The Brewers aren't a very concentrated lineup, so you can go a lot of different ways. Travis Shaw and Eric Thames are the 2 obvious guys and they belong in every Brewers stack. After that, pick your poison. You have the Broxton, Pina, and Arcia at the bottom of the order with power and Santana/Braun as the more expensive, safe options. All in all, they're projected to put up over 5 runs and should be a bit too low owned. Don't be afraid to take a shot against Bartolo Colon. Main Stack - Eric Thames, Travis Shaw, Ryan Braun, Domingo Santana Sneaky Stack - Eric Thames, Travis Shaw, Hernan Perez, Keon Broxton Cincinnati Reds Travis Wood has been around a while, and in his prime, he was decent. He's now about 5 years past that and one of the worst starters in the game. As a southpaw, he has some of the worst numbers you can find against righties. In just over 40 innings, he's allowed a .363 wOBA on a .271 BABIP. He now moves from Petco Park to Great American, where the ball flies. I expect Wood to be out of the game by the 5th inning and for this terrible Padres bullpen to take over. Zack Cozart is my unquestioned favorite of the bunch, considering he's put up a .490 wOBA against righties. Eugenio Suarez and Adam Duvall are next, followed by Votto and Hamilton. The team...

We've got you completely covered.   Pitchers Kyle Hendricks FD 7500 DK 8600 Opponent - SF (Bumgarner) Park - @SF FD - 31.21 DK - 20.56 If you're playing on this early slate, it's either Madison Bumgarner or Kyle Hendricks. I prefer Hendricks. The Giants are the absolute worst team in baseball against righties and it's not too close. They have sported a .291 wOBA and strikeout at a normal 20% rate. They are absolutely pitiful against right-handers and Hendricks is a good enough pitcher to dominate. On the year, he's held a .299 combined wOBA and has struck out nearly 8 K/9. The match-up sets up perfectly and don't forget, it's in AT&T Park. It's ranked dead last for HR factor in each of the last 2 years and is a park that limits runs like crazy. Hendricks is extremely fairly priced and on this early slate, there are some bats to pay up for. Hendricks is a solid play in both formats and will be lesser owner than Bumgarner. Collin McHugh FD 8300 DK 8800 Opponent - CHW (Gonzalez) Park - @CHW FD - 31.37 DK - 20.74 Look, pitching on this main slate is very ugly. There is no other way to put it. Alex Wood is our top option in Chase Field and it only gets worse from there. Let's take a look at Collin McHugh, who's facing off with the White Sox. It's the only reason he's really in play. Projected at just 3.98 runs, the White Sox are by far one of the worst offenses in baseball. They rank 2nd to last ahead of just the Giants with a .302 wOBA. To make things worse, they strike out at a 23% clip. On the mound, McHugh is pretty tough to gauge. He typically struggles against lefties, but holds a higher K/9 against them. He handles righties pretty well and does do a great job of limiting the big innings. He will typically give you 6 or more innings and a quality start. The White Sox are atrocious and on a slate with no pitching, you might as well target the...
