SP: Lance Lynn

SP: Glenn Sparkman

IF: Trevor Story

IF: Nolan Arenado

IF: Max Muncy

OF: Cody Bellinger

OF: Joc Pederson

OF: Alex Verdugo

UTIL: Ian Desmond

UTIL: Guillermo Heredia ($5K)

Slate Overview: Stepping back and looking at the roster construction here today, the argument is strong to find a way to get the elite K upside that Lynn has consistently demonstrated and ideally pairing that with the big Rockies and Dodgers bats.

Now, it will mean rolling the dice somewhere, and that somewhere is at the bottom of the pitcher pricing with Glenn Sparkman in one of the best pitching match-ups in DFS. If Sparkman can claw his way to double-digit points, I would sign up for that right now because it gives me the ace arm and the two stacks I want to prioritize.

Keep an eye on the line-ups for the #FreeSquare plays as your punt – guys like Heredia and Tyler White are down in this $5K price point and allow you to meet the three team hitter requirement on FantasyDraft, while opening up the salary to spend where we want.

Enjoy the slate tonight my friends – I hope it sparkles with profit.
