Pitchers Patrick Corbin FD - P 10800 DK - SP 10400 Opponent - NYM (Steven Matz) Park - NYM FD - 35.25 DK - 19.11 It is a very interesting night for pitching in that we have a borderline ace priced over 10K and then a huge gap down to the next highest-priced pitcher. Let's start at the top with Corbin who draws a tougher matchup as the Nats are a slight -120 road favorite against the Mets Top 10 offense(10th in wOBA, 6th in wRC+). I am not overly concerned here as he is easily the most talented pitcher on the slate and despite giving up eight hits and three earned runs in his last start vs. the Mets last Tuesday tallied 21.4 DK points on the back of eight strikeouts. There is risk with almost every pitcher on this slate in some form or another so let's take the best of the bunch and get him into our lineups in all formats. Dallas Keuchel FD - P 7800 DK - SP 7800 Opponent - DET (Michael Fulmer) Park - DET FD - 29.74 DK - 14.53 There are a few different ways to go with your SP2 tonight and Keuchel is the one that stands out the most. The first thing he gives us is innings as he has gone at least 5.1 in each of his first three starts and while it was a little concerning he had just three K's in his first two starts, he cleared that up striking out eight Brewers last Wednesday, going seven innings. Tonight, he and the White Sox are -148 favorites in a favorable matchup against a Tigers team who may be swinging some hot bats at the moment but are striking out over 29% of the time for the season. Under $8K on both sites, Keuchel is a top PTS/$ play on the mound in all formats. Catcher/First Base Eric Hosmer FD - 1B 3100 DK - 1B 3300 Opponent - LAD (Dustin May) Park - LAD FD - 9.11 DK - 6.96 Hosmer made his return to the lineup on Saturday and while he went hitless for the first time this season, the price is too hard to ignore for the consistency we are used to getting at the plate. The matchup may not be at the top of the list against Dustin May but the Padres offense has...

Pitchers Tyler Chatwood FD - P 9600 DK - SP 9400 Opponent - KC (Brad Keller) Park - KC FD - 33.19 DK - 16.61 The price on Chatwood continues to go up but I am still shocked it is below $10K on DraftKings with the combination of how well he has pitched and the matchup. Let's talk Chatwood first who has been dominant to start the year allowing just six hits and one earned run over 12.2 innings while striking out 19 batters(40%). Tonight, he gets another plus matchups the Cubs open as -165 favorites against a Royals team that sits at the bottom of the standings and ranks bottom six in runs scored, wOBA and wRC+ on the season. All things considered, Chatwood is my top pitcher in all formats tonight. Nate Pearson FD - P 7500 DK - SP 7300 Opponent - ATL (Touki Toussaint) Park - ATL FD - 27.64 DK - 13.97 Things really fall off after the top three pitchers on the main slate. Despite the Jays opening as slight underdogs(+119), I love the PTS/$ floor and ceiling at these prices with the Jays #1 prospect, Nate Pearson. In his first career start, against the defending champs, he went almost pitch for pitch with Max Scherzer before being shut down at just over 70 pitches and tallied five strikeouts while allowing just two hits. He gets another tough NL East opponent tonight as the Braves are Top 10 or close in almost all offensive categories to start the season but the good news is that they have struck out over 28% of the time as a team. At these prices, on this smaller main slate, I am willing to take the risk and ride with Pearson as my SP2 in all formats on DraftKings and as a punt GPP play on FanDuel to load up the bats. Catcher/First Base Anthony Rizzo FD - 1B 3700 DK - 1B 5000 Opponent - KC (Brad Keller) Park - KC FD - 13.66 DK - 10.24 I was high on the Cubs last night and headed right back there tonight as they are currently one of six teams projected to score five or more runs. It starts with Anthony Rizzo who despite having just a .222 average going into Wednesday night has hits in eight of 11 games and sits with an elite .398 wOBA so I am...

Pitchers Yu Darvish FD - P 9500 DK - SP 10400 Opponent - KC (Kris Bubic) Park - KC FD - 34.26 DK - 18.81 Darvish bounced back after an opening day loss with a terrific performance against the Pirates where he allowed just two hits over six innings while striking out seven and walking one. He got up to 86 pitches which is positive and I feel he gets over that 90 pitch mark tonight in another plus matchup justifying his price on DraftKings. He will face a Royals team that sits in the basement of the American League and went into Tuesday night with an 87 team wRC+(24th) and .293 wOBA(22nd). The Cubs are huge -220 favorites and Darvish is my top pitcher in all formats on both sites. Randy Dobnak FD - P 7100 DK - RP 7200 Opponent - PIT (Trevor Williams) Park - PIT FD - 27.29 DK - 14.15 The Twins improved their major-league best record on Tuesday moving to 9-2 on the season and in large part to a starting rotation that has posted a sub 3.00 ERA. Tonight Randy Dobnak take the ball as the Twins open as -180 road favorites in Pittsburgh against the Pirates who currently sit 2nd to last in team wOBA(.251) and wRC+(59). Dobnak got up to 94 pitches in his 2nd start of the season and shutout the Indians over five innings putting up 20.3 DK/33 FD points. Combine the matchup and price tag and you have my top PTS/$ play at the pitcher position. Catcher/First Base Daniel Murphy FD - 1B 3500 DK - 1B 5100 Opponent - SF (Logan Webb) Park - COL FD - 13.42 DK - 10.26 The Rockies, at home in Coors, lead the way in implied runs once again and it makes sense to go back to the well as there have been an average of 12.5 runs over the first four games with the home team averaging over seven per game. As of now, the Giants are projected to start Logan Webb who hasn't gone deep into either of his first two starts and while he only gave up two runs, he gave up 10 hits in 7.2 innings. While a small sample size, he has really struggled vs. lefties so that is where Murphy comes into play. He hits 5th in the order and has started the season on fire...

Pitchers Gerrit Cole FD - P 11000 DK - SP 11000 Opponent - PHI (Asher Wojciechowski) Park - BAL FD - 39.05 DK - 22.32 It hasn't exactly been a dominating start to the season for Cole but he has won both of his starts and three of the four earned runs he has given up came on two home runs. Overall, he limited the Nationals and Orioles to just five hits across 11.2 innings with 12 strikeouts(28%) and just three walks. Tonight, he gets a matchup against the Phillies who have not played since their opening series with the Marlins. The price still has room to go up and given the other elite arms on this slate have much tougher matchups, Cole is easily my top play on this slate in all formats. Alec Mills FD - P 7000 DK - RP 8000 Opponent - KC (Danny Duffy) Park - CHC FD - 27.11 DK - 13.9 The Cubs open up as -150 favorites on Monday at home to a Royals team that has struggled losing three straight and five of their last six scoring just 3.5 runs per game. Mills came up in the Royals system and joined the Cubs in 2017 and it appears he is finally getting a shot in the rotation. He was decent in his first start going six innings, giving up just two hits and two earn earned runs. He only went 77 pitches so I fully expect that leash the be extended to at least 85 tonight which is more than enough for him to hit value. He is in play in all formats. Catcher/First Base José Abreu FD - 1B 3200 DK - 1B 4200 Opponent - MIL (Adrian Houser) Park - MIL FD - 10.23 DK - 7.77 The line is not out yet on this game at the tie of writing this but I would suspect the red-hit White Sox are favorites here. Either way, they are near the top of my list for teams to targets, especially from a PTS/$ perspective with the very expensive Yankees ad Rockies bats tonight. The Sox have won four straight scoring 27 runs and Abreu hits right in the middle of the lineup between some up and coming superstars. At these prices, he is a top target at first base in all formats. Willson Contreras FD - C 3300 DK - C 4500...

Pitchers Dinelson Lamet FD - P 9200 DK - SP 9200 Opponent - SF (Undecided) Park - SF FD - 38.05 DK - 21.07 After a night full of aces on the mound, we get a much weaker player pool at the position tonight but short of some high floor/high upside options. The first name that stands out is Dinelson Lamet who currently tops the raw points projections and is coming off a tremendous start vs. the D-Backs where he allowed just five and one earned run while striking out eight and walking just one. This wasn't just a one-off upside game either as he posted a 33.6% K rate last season over 14 starts. With a combination of a price under 10K on both sites and a matchup vs. the Giants bottom five offense has him as my top pitcher on Thursday in all formats. Ross Stripling FD - P 8400 DK - RP 8400 Opponent - ARI (Robbie Ray) Park - ARI FD - 32.24 DK - 17.13 Next up we have Ross Stripling who, like Lamet, had a great start to the season giving up just four hits and one earned run while striking out seven and walking just one. He came in super cheap in that start and crushed value with 29 DK/49 FD points and that is about what we are looking for tonight against a D-Backs team that has only scored 13 runs over their first six games going into last night. Stripling and Lamet are my top pitchers and paired on DraftKings, still gives you an average of over $4K per hitter to fill out your lineup. Catcher/First Base Pete Alonso FD - 1B 3900 DK - 1B 5100 Opponent - BOS (Martin Perez) Park - NYM FD - 13.45 DK - 10.02 The Polar Bear made my article last night and is currently 3 for 3 and while the price went up $100 on both sites, he is once again one of my top PTS/$ bats when paying up at any position. Tonight he faces a weak lefty in Martin Perez who has been pretty terrible throughout his career and got blown up in his first start allowing five runs(4 earned) on six hits while striking out just two batters. Alonso is in play on both sites but his best value comes on DraftKings where he is the 13th most expensive bat on...
