We've got you completely covered. Arizona Diamondbacks It comes down to the Yankees and Diamondbacks on this early slate. When looking at Aaron Blair and Homer Bailey, I just have more confidence in Aaron Blair stinking it up. Blair is a guy who hasn't pitched since 2016, when he was absolutely atrocious. He posted a .432 wOBA against lefties and a .337 against righties. He throws 4 pitches but at this point just 3. His fastball is decent but when it's the only pitch you can throw for a strike, it doesn't work. He also allows stolen bases and has a hard time controlling base runners. Jake Lamb and David Peralta are obviously the 2 studs and you should not ignore either. There 2 of the best 10 bats in this league against righties when in Chase Field. After those 2, you have to go with 2 of Pollock, Goldy, and Martinez. They all have plenty of upside and safety. Main Stack - Jake Lamb, David Peralta, Paul Goldschmidt, J.D. Martinez Sneaky Stack - Jake Lamb, David Peralta, A. J. Pollock, Chris Herrmann Chicago Cubs The Cubs are easily the best stack on this main slate. Implied to score 5.82 runs, they hold the highest on the slate and match with the D-Backs for the day. The Cubs have the honor of facing off with James Shields, who is certainly one of the worst pitchers in the league. Shields has allowed a .442 wOBA to lefties and a .321 to righties that is relatively dominant. He's given up 12 homers in 40 innings and doesn't look to be changing his ways much from last season. As for the Cubs side, we know what they offer. Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant are 2 of the best bats in baseball and both must be on the stack. You then get into Ben Zobrist and Kyle Schwarber, who are surrounding. They are both great plays in all formats. The likes of Contreras, Russell, and Baez will all go under-owned and have a ton of upside in the matchup. In tournaments, don't be afraid to get some backend...

We've got you completely covered. Pitchers Jeff Samardzija FD 8600 DK 7600 Opponent - PIT (Williams) Park - @SFFD - 38.13 DK - 25.13 Let's be honest, Jeff Samardzija has not been good lately. He's struggled in recent starts and while he hasn't fallen apart, the hinges are squeaking. Fortunately, we know who Jeff Samardzija is. This is a guy with a long track record that has proven himself over and over. As for this season, he's held drastic splits between lefties and righties, dominating the ladder. He's striking out close to 10 batters per 9 innings and has had some big games. The game will also be played in AT&T Park, so he has some room for error. He faces a very average Pirates team that has ranked 18th against righties in terms of wOBA at .311. All in all, there is some risk. However, this is a short slate and if you can't pay up for Sale or Severino, this is your best option. Carlos Martinez FD 8900 DK 8400 Opponent - COL (Hoffman) Park - @STLFD - 36.96 DK - 24.36 I ended up going with Wood for the main picks article, but could have easily gone Carlos Martinez. He has been great this season and takes on a Rockies team who is far worse on the road. The Rockies get some ill-deserved respect from DFS players due to them always being in play. We have to remember why they are in play so often. Outside of Coors Field, most of these guys are a shell of themselves. The only worries are Blackmon and Arenado, who don't rely on any type of ballpark for production. Martinez has been worse against lefties, but not horrible. He is striking out close to 10 and walking nearly 3. Busch Stadium is surely a pitchers park and Martinez has been exceptional there. If you want to save some funds or simply make a minor from Alex Wood, Carlos Martinez is a great way to go. Try out InGame Fantasy for a totally new DFS experience.

We've got you completely covered. Pitcher Early Chris Sale FD 11800 DK 13400 Opponent - SEA (Moore) Park - @SEA FD - 47.71 DK - 31.62 With the earlier slate being the smaller of the two, we don't have a ton of options at pitcher. Fortunately, we have one of the best around in Chris Sale. Sale and the Sox will face the Mariners in pitcher-friendly Safeco Field, which is a huge bump. We all know how great Sale is, but let's take a quick look at his numbers. Through 141 innings, he's held a .244 wOBA and has struck out over 12 batters per 9 innings. The match-up with the Mariners is also a pretty solid one. With Cano, Seager, and Segura all hitting righties much better, they rely on Nelson Cruz for production against lefties. While there's always a chance of him coming through. I trust Chris Sale to work around him. Sale is the clear option in the early slate. Late Alex Wood FD 9800 DK 11200 Opponent - MIN (Santana) Park - @LAD FD - 39.69 DK - 26 Alex Wood is a guy I had locked in last time out. Boy, that was very frustrating. After getting screwed by some errors and allowing some runs, he worked out of the trouble. In the next inning, he dropped a pop up with runners on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs. The point is he had a really crappy start. He's perfectly fine and will be the same pitcher once he regains his rhythm. Wood has been one of the best pitchers in the league this season. Striking out 12 per 9 and sporting a combined .271 wOBA. The Twins have ranked 20th in the league with a .306 wOBA against righties and strikeout at a 21% rate. Wood may not be the safest option by nature, but he's the best you'll find on this slate and his price is perfectly fine. Catcher Early Gary Sanchez FD 3300 DK 4400 Opponent - CIN (Bailey) Park - @NYY FD - 13.3 DK - 10.22 While we only have 4 games on this slate, there are some nice offenses to choose from. The best of all is probably the Yankees, who are facing off with Homer Bailey....

We've got you completely covered. Pitcher Jacob deGrom FD 11000 DK 13400 Opponent - SD (Richard) Park - @SD FD - 42.52 DK - 28.01 The pitcher spot may have left a sour spot in the mouths of many after last night, when Kershaw went down after just 2 innings. He's headed to the 10-day DL and should be back before we know it. That still does nothing to help to all of my dead lineups from yesterday, but what can we do. We now move on to a slate tonight where pitching is rather cut and dry. While there are 4 or 5 guys who deserve consideration, I think the top 2 is pretty clear in deGrom and Cole. Starting with deGrom, what's not to like? He's striking out over 10 batters per 9, walking just 2, and doing a good job of keeping speed off the bases that may result in a big inning. deGrom has been effective against both sides of the plate, with lefties posting a .306 wOBA and righties a respective .274. They now move into Petco Park to face one of the worst teams in the league, if not the worst. The Padres have an implied run total of 3.30 and are easily the lowest projected offense of the slate. deGrom is going to come out here and dominate in the huge park. He should be comfortable enough to let his fielders play and he shouldn't be biting at the corners all game long. He has the most upside and most safety, coming in as a clear number 1 in my book. Gerrit Cole FD 8700 DK 9900 Opponent - SF (Cain) Park - @SF FD - 33.51 DK - 22.01 I love to target the San Francisco Giants. Once a team that would destroy right-handed pitching (just 2 years ago), they now absolutely stink. So far in 2017, the Giants are the league's absolute worst team against righties. Yes, the Giants are the worst team in baseball against right-handed pitching. The team we would avoid at all costs is now the top target in the game. They also play in AT&T Park, which doesn't help the hitters too much at all. It's actually one of the 2 best ballparks for pitching. Gerrit...

We've got you completely covered. Kansas City Royals It's almost upsetting how atrocious Derek Holland has been against righties. Giving up 19 home runs in 77 innings is unheard of and something you won't see often. At all. Holland has also given up another 21 doubles to righties, to put his wOBA over .380. He now moves into Kauffman Stadium to face the Royals, who have been gifted a 5.00+ implied run total from Vegas. Lorenzo Cain is my favorite of the bunch and he has always been a menace to left-handed pitching. Both Bonifacio and Perez have a bit of power and can hit lefties rather well. Whit Merrifield is a solid cash game option up front and one of the more intriguing options in the tourney stack. Either way you go, I would make sure Lorenzo Cain is involved. Main Stack - Lorenzo Cain, Jorge Bonifacio, Whit Merrifield, Salvador Perez Sneaky Stack- Lorenzo Cain, Jorge Bonifacio, Mike Moustakas, Jorge Soler Minnesota Twins The Twins are also facing a guy with some horrible splits against righties. Matt Boyd, while not as bad as Derek Holland, has sported a .371 wOBA against righties. He's also gotten a bit lucky, which means his wOBA should be somewhere around the .400 mark. Boyd is a young arm and he has a lot of work to do. It's clear that he's not ready for the majors yet and righties are abusing him. Brian Dozier and Miguel Sano are the creams of the crop with Robbie Grossman and Eduardo Escobar following closely. Both are switch hitters with a ton of skill against lefties. All in all, the Twins are an underrated offense with as much power potential as anyone. Main Stack - Brian Dozier, Miguel Sano, Robbie Grossman, Eduardo Escobar Sneaky Stack- Brian Dozier, Miguel Sano, Kennys Vargas, Robbie Grossman Try out InGame Fantasy for a totally new DFS experience.
