There are several different ways you can strategize your way to a DFS win tonight.  You can go with a bargain basement option at starting pitcher and stock your lineup full of big-name hitters, or you can go with a big-name “Ace” and try to piece together a solid lineup. Some people try to go with more mid-range options across the board for a balanced attack.  All three of those strategies can be successful, but the key to any strategy working is putting up big points at the right price.

Whether you’re going bargain basement, mid-range, or high-priced, getting a starting pitcher that produces is extremely important. To help you find the best options of the day at whatever price you’re shopping at, I’ve included one bargain basement play, two mid-range options, and two top-dollar options.
