Pitchers Jordan Montgomery FD 7500 DK 8000 Opponent - TB (Faria) Park - @NYYFD - 30.22 DK - 19.95 We touched on Drew Pomeranz in the main picks article and he remains a top option. This main slate doesn't have much pitching, so you have to be careful with where you go and what bats will follow you .We're going to take a look Jordan Montgomery against the Rays. Montgomery has been quite good this season, emerging as a weapon for the Yanks. He's striking out about her 7 batters per 9 innings and has been super effective against both sides of the plate. The Rays enter the main slate with an implied total of 3.85, which is the 2nd lowest. Longoria and Souza are obviously dangerous against lefties, but that's really it. The rest of the order is very boring and one I'm constantly looking to pick on. Madison Bumgarner FD 10100 DK 9700 Opponent - LAD (Ryu) Park - @LADFD - 27.98 DK - 19.06 Moving on to this later slate, you have to take a look at Madison Bumgarner, while I wouldn't touch him in a cash game at his price, the appeal is there in tournaments. If Bumgarner is pitching well, there's always a chance of him having a crazy night. He has definitely stumbled a bit as of late, but has remained the same pitcher underneath those struggles. He's held both lefties and righties to a sub .300 wOBA and typically strikes out around 10-11 per 9 innings. The Dodgers are always going to be a tough offense, but they are much better against righties. Nearly everyone in the Dodgers lineup is worse against lefties, with the exception of some platoon bats. The likes of Corey Seager and Cody Bellinger should be greatly minimized here. MadBum is expensive and if you're paying down elsewhere, take a shot on an arm who can change the slate.

We've got you completely covered.   Pitcher Drew Pomeranz FD 8400 DK 8700 Opponent - KC (Hammel) Park - @BOS FD - 30.42 DK - 20.13 Pitching is plain bad on this main slate.  The 2 most expensive options are Justin Verlander vs HOU and Jacob Faria against the Yanks. No thank you. Instead, we'll take a look at Drew Pomeranz. He's around the same price and has a bit more appeal in the match-up. I'm not saying he's safe. There is no such thing on this slate. Pomeranz can always have his command off and it can turn into a bad start. Fortunately, we haven't seen that all too often this season. He has given up some runs, but the blowup games have been few and far between. He's also having one of the unluckiest years I've ever seen against lefties. They've posted a ridiculous  .473 BABIP and in turn has led to a .395 wOBA. You can blame Pomeranz for that and you can guarantee that will turn around. He's been great against righties, which has always been the problem. The Royals are an extremely underwhelming team and while they get some more upside in the ballpark, they still can't hit lefties. They rank 21st in the league with a .305 wOBA. Like I said, there is no such thing as safe, you do, however, get a solid arm at a good price in a solid match-up in Drew Pomeranz. Gerrit Cole FD 9000 DK 10900 Opponent - SD (Richard) Park - @SD FD - 36.71 DK - 24.16 The late start slate provides a ton more at pitcher. Bumgarner, Paxton, and Cole make for great plays in all formats at the top. We're going to look at Cole, who has the best match-up and price. Cole has been his usual self this year, dominating righties and struggling against lefties (.355 wOBA). He strikes out 8 per 9 innings and will very rarely get blown up. He should also see an uptick in K's, as the Padres lead the league in striking out against righties at nearly 26%. That's insane. Wil Myers is the only guy I'm scared of in the order and Cole has obliterated righties, so I'm not too worried. While you can get a...

We've got you completely covered. Pitchers Rich Hill FD 9400 DK 12400 Opponent - SF (Blach) Park - @LADFD - 36.73 DK - 23.99 The Dodgers open as the biggest favorite on the entire slate. Facing off with a underwhelming Giants team, Vegas has it slated at -260. Rich Hill and Ty Blach will face off in the battle of lefties. Hill has had a pretty weird season, bouncing from the DL and back a few times. He has settled down and has looked very solid over the last month or so. VERY SOLID. He's back to striking out 12 batters per 9 and dominating hitters from both sides of the plate. The opposing Giants are also nothing to be afraid of. While worse against righties, the Giants have ranked 26th in the league against lefties with a .296 wOBA. Dodgers Stadium is a great pitchers park and I see nothing wrong with Hill. If you need to pay down a little bit and still want a boat load of upside, take a shot with the 12-6 throwing Rich Hill. Zack Greinke FD 10200 DK 12200 Opponent - STL (Leake) Park - @STLFD - 37.57 DK - 24.76 On the late or "main" slate, we'll take a look at Zack Greinke. We touched on Kluber and Nova in the main picks article and they both remain elite options. Greinke and the D-Backs will travel into Busch Stadium to take on the Cardinals, who are all but a scary offense. With Matt Carpenter being the only good lefty in the order, this could be a bloodbath. He's held righties to a .280 wOBA and is striking out over 10 of them per 9 innings. Busch Stadium is also much bigger than Chase Field and he's played half his games there. Greinke is always going to be pretty expensive and while he may not be popular, the safety and upside are there. He's going to go at least 6 or 7 and I'd be chocked to see anything other than a win.

Daily Fantasy MLB Hitter Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings – 7/29/17

Daily Fantasy MLB Hitter Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 7/29/17 Here's where you can find some recommendations for GPP stacks to target for FanDuel and DraftKings.

We've got you completely covered. Blue Jays The Blue Jays get to face off with the Angels today, who are running a "bullpen game". The starter, Yusmeiro Petit, will be limited to around 40 pitches. He's always been a great arm out of the pen, but he's never been able to transition to a starter, despite multiple attempts. He'll be gone by the 4th inning and hopefully, the Jays are able to do some damage by then. Coming into the 4th, the game will be given to the bullpen. With Hernandez and Bedrosian pitching last night, they will see the likes of Parker, Middleton, and Pounders. Parker is pretty good and will likely be given the reigns if they have the lead. If not, Pounders and Middleton can be taken advantage of in a huge way. This Jays lineup is obviously lethal and they can do damage from a lot of different spots. Bautista, Donaldson, and Morales are the guys with the biggest pop and I'd likely have them on all Jays stacks. After, the lineup is very spread out and you can really go anywhere. Russell Martin is fairly priced and fills one of the weaker positions in C. Main Stack - Josh Donaldson, Jose Bautista, Kendrys Morales, Russell Martin Sneaky Stack - Josh Donaldson, Jose Bautista, Justin Smoak, Troy Tulowitzki Baltimore Orioles Austin Bibens-Dirkx is a fraud. He should not be in the majors, or even AAA. He's a 32-year-old AA pitcher who is loved by Rangers fans. He's gotten lucky in 2 starts and has found a way to get another. While his .340 combined wOBA is bad enough, a .210 BABIP is pretty astonishing. The wOBA will end up over .380 and I doubt this guy has many starts left, if any. He's just as bad against righties as he is lefties and has always struggled with the HR. He hosts the Orioles tonight in Globe Life Park, where the ball flies. The O's are an inherently risky team and it doesn't really matter who they are facing. They are always candidates to strike out 15 times and hit 2...

We've got you completely covered. Pitcher EARLY Jacob deGrom FD 11200 DK 12900 Opponent - SEA (Gallardo) Park - @SEAFD - 36.37 DK - 24.08 After a couple of days with some less than appetizing pitching selections we return to a little bit of stability today with some solid arms throwing in some good spots on both slates. Early on we get Jacob deGrom of the New York Mets headed into Safeco Field to face the Mariners. The Mets are struggling to stay afloat due to a ton of injuries in a division the Nationals have pretty much run away with, but the one constant they have been able to rely on this season has been deGrom. An impressive 12-3 record and 3.30 ERA through 20 starts for the 29 year old now in his fourth season, deGrom ranks among the top ten arms in baseball with a 27.9 K% fanning 10.3 batter per nine innings pitched, and is also sporting a top ten xFIP of 3.45. The matchup isn't ideal, the Mariners don't K a ton (20.9%) and their team wOBA .318 is ranked right about average, but with a pitcher such as deGrom on the hill in one of the games more pitcher friendly parks, I'll happily take deGrom on the short set of early games. MAIN Corey Kluber FD 11900 DK 14000 Opponent - CHW (Gonzalez) Park - @CHWFD - 45.71 DK - 30.25 If deGrom on the early slate didn't help to make up for the past few days pitching options for you, on the main slate we get one Corey Kluber and who could ask for anything more? Kluber has been dominating any offense that crosses his path since returning from the DL earlier this season. In his past seven starts he has allowed a total of seven earned runs, limiting the opposition to one run or less in six of those games, while going into the eighth inning in all but one. Oh, and in the span he has struck out 80 while walking nine. I could go on for days about how incredible Kluber has been in recent weeks, but let's not over look the match up either. Kluber steps to the hill today against the White Sox in a game in...
