Pitcher Corey Kluber FD 12000 DK 13400 Opponent - KC (Duffy) Park - @CLE FD - 40.99 DK - 27.11 It seems like we touch on a Cleveland Indians starter every night, but they have enough to go around. The ace of the bunch trots out tonight in the form of Corey Kluber. Kluber and the Tribe enter into the day as -260 favorites against the Royals. The Royals ended the Indians' streak just a few days ago, but they bounced back last night and will look to stay hot going into the playoffs. The Klubot is one of the 2 or 3 best pitchers in baseball and he has obliterated just about everyone. A .254 wOBA against lefties and a .239 against righties is utter domination. He strikes out close to 12 per 9 innings and walks less than 2. He is my pick for Cy Young and as long as he has a few more quality starts, I think he gets it. The Royals are nothing to be afraid of and are a worse hitting team on the road. Kluber is the best pitcher on the slate and it just comes down to whether or not you can afford him and who you have to sacrifice. Garrett Richards FD 7400 DK 6700 Opponent - TEX (Gonzalez) Park - @LAA FD - 28.18 DK - 18.61 On most slates this big, we have 3 or 4 elite arms with a. Few different ways to go. The way I see it today is Kluber and the field: he's the clear-cut option in all formats and it will be very risky to fade him. With that being said, its viable in tournaments. You also have to find another SP on DK. Looking down quite a bit, you run into Garrett Richards. If you've been paying attention to baseball for more than a year or so, you know who he is. He is the Angels ace. He just had a gruesome injury at the start of last season and has been struggling back ever since. He's finally back, dominating in his early 15 innings. He'll get the start against the Rangers tonight in pitcher-friendly Angels Stadium. He may not see a full workload, but...

We've got you completely covered. New York Yankees The Yankees are clearly the top stack on this early slate. At least as far I can see. Anytime you have a reverse-splits righty going up against the Yankees, you should pay close attention. Both Sanchez and Judge are also reverse-splits hitters, so it makes the perfect recipe. Hellickson has allowed a .382 wOBA to righties and he has a huge HR problem. I can't imagine making a Yankees stack without either of those guys. The rest of the order is actually quite a mess and I don't see anywhere you must go. Starlin Castro has some upside and is at a position that lacks it. Gardner and Gregorius are solid lefties who should be pretty popular in the leadoff and 4 hole. I don't think stacking is a must on this early slate, but the Yankees are certainly the team I'd do it with. Hellickson is simply a bad pitcher and he should be out of there by the 4th or 5th inning at the latest. Expect some dingers. Main Stack - Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge, Didi Gregorious, Starlin Castro Sneaky Stack - Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge, Chase Headley, Todd Frazier Colorado Rockies I tend to stay away from Coors Field in this article, but I can't sit here and lie. The Rockies are the only team in stacking past 7 and I'm not sure there's even a team that's remotely close. Remember, the Rockies are very expensive, so you'll have to force things in to make them work. They face off with Jordan Lyles, who has been absolutely atrocious on the season. Against lefties, he has held a .436 wOBA and allowed a crazy 2.26 HR/9. He's not nearly as bad against righties with a .360 wOBA, but it's still bad. Charlie Blackmon is one of my favorite plays on the slate and he is a must here. As is Nolan Arenado. The rest of the guys come down to the batting order and who ends up where. I'm a big fan of Gerardo Parra and CarGo against this bad righty. We...

We've got you completely covered. Dallas Keuchel FD 9000 DK 11100 Opponent - SEA (Ramirez) Park - @HOUFD - 32.85 DK - 21.57 This earlier slate has been broken down pretty weird by both FanDuel and DraftKings. Instead of running an early and main slate, they have gone crazy and put together some weird slates. Anyway, Dallas Keuchel is a great one to go on the earlier slates. We touched on Zack Greinke and Carlos Carrasco in the main picks article and they remain my top 2 arms. Keuchel is my favorite of he bunch from the early games and it has a lot to do with the match-up. The Mariners obviously have some dangerous bats against lefties, but the majority of their production comes from lefties like Cano and Seager. Keuchel is lights out against them and you can count on 7 innings and 7 K. His .286 combined wOBA, 8.64 K/9 and 27% hard contact rate are all numbers that have stabilized and look amazing. He's better at home as this ballpark is pretty tough for everyone that's not a dead pull hitter. It will just come down to if one of these righties can get a hold of one or not. On the early slate, he will still be one of the top plays either way. Madison Bumgarner FD 9300 DK 11000 Opponent - ARI (Greinke) Park - @SFFD - 34.39 DK - 22.78 Like I said, Greinke and Carrasco are my 2 favorite cash game plays at pitcher. With that being said, this will be one of those rare nights where I get GPP exposure to quite a few pitchers. There are a lot of different ways this slate can go and 1 has Madison Bumgarner written all over it. Even though the Giants were out of the playoffs about 5 years ago, this is still the Bumgarner we know and love. He's willing to go to 120 pitches if he's going well and we know that's a real possibility in AT&T Park. He's held both righties and lefties to a sub .290 wOBA and strikes out close to 10...

We've got you completely covered. Pitcher Zack Greinke FD 9300 DK 12800 Opponent - SF (Bumgarner) Park - @SF FD - 37.61 DK - 24.68 It does feel like Greinke has flown under the radar this year, albeit a very solid statistical season. That's because he just usually doesn't make the cut in DFS. For one, he's in Chase Field half the time. Outside of that, his division is tough for pitching and it's rare to find a dominant match-up. With that being said, he's cut through the division like cheese and has held his career numbers with no problem. He's striking out 9.66 batters per 9 and walking just under 2. He's also dominated both lefties and righties, allowing a .274 combined wOBA. He now moves into AT&T Park to face off with the worst offense in baseball at home. They've sported a .293 wOBA on the season and strikeout close to 21% of the time. This is as good of a spot as ever for Greinke and he's a prominent play in all formats. His price is fair across the board.  Carlos Carrasco FD 10800 DK 13300 Opponent - KC (Hammel) Park - @CLE FD - 41.19 DK - 27.13 Well, it's over. The Royals halted the Indians insane 22 game win streak just last night. As a side note, let's stop this notion that a tie is part of a win-streak and the '35 Giants hold the longest streak ever. That team in 1935 who tied in one of their 28 games is a fraud and should not take away from a real WIN streak. Emphasis on the win part. Back to the game at hand, you have to think the Indians come back out firing. They have their ace on the mound in Carlos Carrasco and are as big as favorites as they've been all season long. Jason Hammel is a weak opponent and the win should be there. Carrasco has been a constant for these Indians and they have needed it with the injuries to the rotation. He's given up a .318 wOBA to lefties, but has shut down righties with a .276. He's striking out over 10 batters per 9 innings and faces off with a team that has struck out...

We've got you completely covered. Colorado Rockies The Rockies are at home tonight in Coors Field against a lefty. That's really all that needs to be said, but you took the time to click on this article, so I should give you something more for your time and efforts, eh? Okay, so, Colorado is hosting the Padres this weekend and tonight San Diego sends Clayton Richard to the hill. Richard's generally a ground ball pitcher, but if you can get under one then it's generally easy to put one out on him as evidenced by his 20.4% HR/FB rate. He was rocked for 10 runs in a mere 3.2 IP here at Coors on July 19th and despite a couple of shut outs thrown in here and there down the stretch, he can be easily rattled and taken full advantage of. I wont bore you with individual statistics on the Rockies bats, as Chris covered several of them in detail in the picks article, just know to build around Nolan Arenado, and get a healthy helping or DJ LeMahieu and Trevor Story, if he's available which all signs suggest he should be. Top stacking options: Nolan Arenado, DJ LeMahieu, Trevor Story, Mark Reynolds, Jonathan Lucroy New York Yankees In his picks article this morning Chris spotlighted the importance of paying close attention to who is playing for what in the waning weeks of the season. The Bronx Bombers have a cushy three game lead with the top AL Wildcard spot, but surely another division pennant would look just lovely among all the others, so don't expect the Yankees to take their foot off the pedal any time soon. Winners of seven of their last ten the Yanks host the Orioles in Yankee Stadium. New York has the highest projected run total outside of Coors Field tonight against Gabriel Ynoa. Ynoa only has four starts under his belt since making his big league debut last year with the Mets. He hasn't had much struggle with the long ball in his limited time up in the bigs, but he also hasn't had a couple...
