I am going to do something that I do not often like to do in DraftKings MLB DFS tomorrow, namely, I am opting to game stack. There are a few reasons why I am going to do this for Tuesday’s slate:

I do not feel like paying all the way up for the obvious top-2 options here,

Chris Sale

($13,600) or

Jacob deGrom

($13,500). The drop-off is so big to

Mike Foltynewicz

($11,200) , then to

Mike Fiers

($9400) that I see the opportunity to get some nice bats.

The weather is so unpredictable at this point on the east coast, I do not want to mess with most of the early games (of course Cleveland and Tampa Bay is in a dome so that wouldn’t apply there).

I feel strongly that Foltynewicz and Fiers may have the best matchup at this time of year, both facing not good offenses who are out of playoff contention. They are guaranteed to have lower ownership because both games are on the road. Give me both of them at low ownership.

  • Marco Gonzales and Brian Mitchell are both not projected to get many strikeouts or have much success tomorrow, and as much as I don’t love counter-stacking the Padres, I think they can do well in a good spot.

    • Sea vs. SD is the late game that I like the most, giving me the chance to shoot up the standings after my east coast aces rack me up some points.

    Here is a sample lineup based on what I am thinking here (notice I tried to maintain the L-R splits, especially given the prevalence of extra-base hits in spacious Safeco Field):

    C: Austin Hedges ($3500)

    1B: Luis Valbuena ($2900)

    2B: Robinson Cano ($4600)

    SS: Freddy Galvis ($3100)

    3B: Kyle Seager ($3400)

    OF: Dee Gordon ($3700)

    OF: Denard Span ($4300)

    OF: Franmil Reyes ($3800)
