Pitchers Tyler Glasnow FD - P 10700 DK - SP 9800 Opponent - NYY (Domingo German) Park - NYY FD - 38.49 DK - 21.34 After yet another dud vs. the Blues Jays who have his number(sort of bragging as a Jays fan), Glasnow bounced back in a huge way going eight innings holding the Royals to three hits while striking out 11. It was the sixth time in 11 starts he has struck out double-digits and enters tonight with an elite  36% K rate to go with his 2.57 ERA/2.72 xFIP. While the matchup vs. the Yankees would normally scare me off that is not the case this season as they rank 23rd in runs scored and sit 10th in K rate(25%). With his lowest price since opening day and getting Yankees at the perfect time, Glasnow is easily my top pitch Tuesday night. Chris Bassitt FD - P 9300 DK - SP 9100 Opponent - SEA (Marco Gonzales) Park - SEA FD - 38.92 DK - 21.39 While this pick may seem like "point chasing" as Bassitt is coming off his best start of the season with a two-hit complete game against the Angels, hear me out. He has been incredible lately scoring 20+ DK/40+ FD points in seven of his last eight starts and enters the night with an impressive 3.21 ERA/3.547 xFIP. The biggest difference in that K upside this season has been the effectiveness of the slider that is generating a 27% swinging-strike rate. The Mariners are a bottom thrid offense overall and also happen to rank bottom 5 against sliders. I am looking for another solid start here from Bassitt and will be pairing him with Glasnow on DK in cash games. I can also see the argument to fade the 10K+ pitchers and start your lineups with Bassitt but that is more of a GPP play for me tonight. Also Consider: If you are looking for a value SP2, I don't mind Brady Singer(KC) who is a big favorite(-175) and faces a Pirates team that is near the bottom of the league in all offensive categories, or Adrian Houser(MIL) who also gets a plus matchup vs. the Tigers below-average offense but just doesn't have a lot of K upside Catcher/First Base Max Muncy FD 3900 DK 5300 Opponent - STL (John Gant) Park - STL FD - 13.51 DK - 9.95 You can pretty...

Point Guard Ja Morant FD - $8200 DK - $8400 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 41.28 DK - 42.78 All of the point guards are expensive today, so we're sort of threading a needle here. Our system leads with Morant for a few reasons. First, he's arguably as important to his offense as Russell Westbrook is. He's also been surprisingly effective against Utah's stout defense, which has arguably resulted in him playing a higher number of minutes per game as well. Hell, he's averaged more fantasy points per game through three contests than Russell Westbrook has. I just don't see a world where I'm submitting my DFS lineups with Ja tonight. Ben Simmons FD - $8800 DK - $7900 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 43.46 DK - 43.15 Things get a little closer as we try to pinpoint the second point guard we want. I considered Mike Conley, who has maintained his role as the primary distributor even as Donovan Mitchell has eased back into things, but ultimately landed on Simmons. Big Ben is absolutely indispensable to Philly's defensive scheme against Washington's electric back-court, and he's a rebound away from averaging a triple-double for the series so far. He's taken some minutes off in out-of-hand games two and three, but as the Sixers look to close things out I think his role is a little more secure. Given that Vegas has this as just a 7.5 point game, it seems the oddsmakers agree with me.,p> Shooting Guard Bradley Beal FD - $9600 DK - $9100 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 50.4 DK - 51.89 While we're generally not enamored with running a guy whose team is having a hard time keeping games within twenty points, in this case we'll make an exception. If the Wiz lose this one there is nothing left to rest for, so we expect Beal to be out there for his full 40 minute rotation in game four. He hasn't gotten over the hump against the Sixers yet, but he did pay this price in the only other game where he played his full rotation. Shooting guard is pretty thin, and...

Pitchers Lucas Giolito FD - P 10000 DK - SP 9600 Opponent - BAL (Keegan Akin) Park - CHWFD - 42.99 DK - 23.45 Giolito enters as the biggest money line favorite on the main slate at -235 against the Orioles. He has big strikeout upside in this matchup against a bottom-third offense in baseball right now. Giolito struggled with one bad start this season when he allowed 8 runs in one inning against the Red Sox. Back that single game out and his numbers are pretty elite this season. He’d have a 2.78 ERA and is still striking out almost 11 batters per nine. Max Scherzer FD - P 12000 DK - SP 10800 Opponent - MIL (Brandon Woodruff) Park - WSHFD - 39.39 DK - 22.09 Scherzer just keeps going out there and dominating year after year. And this season is no different. In line with previous seasons, he’s striking out more than 12 batters per nine, but this year has even more control than last and is walking fewer than two batters per nine. His 3.06 xFIP is about three-quarters a run higher than the 2.27 ERA, but this is still a guy with some of the best stuff in the majors. He’ll face a Brewers team that is getting Yelich back, but has still been very weak this season, ranking third-to-last in team wOBA. Yelich will help, but this lineup is still mostly bad. Eduardo Rodriguez FD - P 7500 DK - SP 8500 Opponent - MIA (Sandy Alcantara) Park - BOSFD - 34.35 DK - 18.01 Eduardo Rodriguez is having the best season of his career, finally putting together his stuff with the ability to locate his pitchers more consistently as well. And sure, you are going to look at the 5.06 ERA and think “best season?!?” and I would say “yes!”. He’s struggled with a .368 BABIP and a 70% LOB%, both of which are the worst of his career. The 5:1 K:BB rate is the best control he’s ever had and this Miami team is ranked 25th in team offense this season. I love spotting E-Rod here in a good matchup with a little run bad at his heels. Catcher/First Base Carlos Santana FD - 1B 3300 DK - 1B 4100 Opponent - MIN (Matt Shoemaker) Park - MINFD - 10.71 DK - 7.97 He’s the first Royals guy we have on the list,...

Point Guard Luka Doncic FD - $11500 DK - $11100Opponent - LACProj Pts FD - 60.28 DK - 64.81 The Clippers took game three in one they had to win and the series is now 2-1 in favor of the Mavericks. From a fantasy perspective, Luka is basically everything you want from your top-tier play considering the Mavs can’t take him off the court for long stretches and he continues to put up huge numbers in every category. For the series, he’s averaging 38 points, nine assists, and nine rebounds while also adding two blocks+steals. It’s been complete with only the five turnovers a game dinging him some. But if you need to pay up on this slate, and you probably do, then Luka is the guy to go with. Derrick Rose FD - $7100 DK - $6800Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 40.44 DK - 40.72 The price on Rose has really come up in just a few short games, but so has the opportunity. He’s now firmly in the starting lineup and has played 39 minutes in each of the last two games. Last time out, a loss to the Hawks, Rose dropped 30 points on 13-21 shooting and also added six rebounds and five assists. He’s not going to be a big distributor, but the usage is definitely going to be there in this Knicks’ offense. The price hasn’t come up enough for what he is doing now and how much New York needs his scoring. Reggie Jackson (FD $4900 DK $4400) should remain in the starting lineup and if that’s the case then he makes a great value on DraftKings especially. Shooting Guard Devin Booker FD - $7800 DK - $8100Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 49.63 DK - 51.84 With Chris Paul banged up the Suns have struggled on offense. And it’s also been easier for the Lakers to focus a bit more on Booker in the offense. But to stay in this series, Phoenix will need everything they can get from their young superstar. In a close game, he’s a near-lock for 40+ minutes and the highest usage on the team. the scoring is actually even down a little over...

Pitchers Afternoon Lance Lynn FD - P 10500 DK - SP 9700 Opponent - BAL (John Means) Park - CHWFD - 41.28 DK - 22.8 Lynn is a -172 home favorite against the Orioles on Saturday making him one of the better options for the afternoon. His strikeouts haven’t ticked back up to the levels we say in 2019, but he’s still putting down 9.5 batters per nine on the season and kept the walks relatively in check. The 4.20 xFIP screams massive regression on the 1.51 ERA so it isn’t all perfect here. But the matchup against the Orioles is a very good one and he’s not cost-prohibitive on either site. Frankly, on DraftKings, he’s a downright value. Nathan Eovaldi (FD $7500 DK $9000) is a good afternoon option against the Miami Marlins. Evening Ian Anderson FD - P 9000 DK - SP 9400 Opponent - NYM (Taijuan Walker) Park - NYMFD - 35.9 DK - 18.96 The Mets have been throwing out some real garbage lineups lately with so many of their guys on the shelf and even the healthy ones struggling. The game got rained out on Friday so we are going to need to just make sure about the starters here or if they try to squeeze in a doubleheader. But it stands to reason Anderson makes his scheduled start in this one. The Mets are the 26th ranked offense on the season and go down on strikes around 24% of the time. Meanwhile, Anderson is sporting a 3.26 xFIP and does strike out more than a batter per inning. I can see some people paying all the way up for Julio Urías (FD $11500 DK $10000) but I prefer Anderson and the matchup. Catcher/First Base Afternoon Vladimir Guerrero Jr. FD - 1B 4500 DK - 1B 6300 Opponent - CLE (Sam Hentges) Park - CLEFD - 12.34 DK - 9.36 The lefty Hentges could be in trouble here against the Blue Jays who sport a righty-heavy lineup and have been putting up some of the best numbers in the league. They are of course led by the breakout season for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. who has an OPS well over 1K and is walking at a 15% rate which is the same as his strikeout rate. He already has 16 home runs on the season which has driven the price all the way up. And he’s still...
