Slate Overview: With an underwhelming top-tier tonight in Lance Lynn (priced at $22.9K on FantasyDraft), Mike Clevinger against a low K team in the Angels and Robbie Ray against a dangerous Nationals offense – I just see no reason to move out of the mid-tier where we have strong options that simultaneously give us a clear path to stacking Coors.

There are slates where I think stacking Coors is something you have to almost shoe-horn in but on this slate, the build really fits the overall context without much heartburn. I don’t see this as a spot where you are picking punt arms just hoping they “don’t kill you” – rather the mid-tier gives you multiple viable options that make paying for Rockies and Giants bats an easy path for cash games and GPP’s.

Well, with that – I am off on vacation. I am sure while I am gone, Jon Lester will give up thousands of runs and I will have missed the regression monster finally paying off but so is life. Enjoy the slate, the weekend and stay tuned to FanSided Fantasy sports where our crew will have MLB DFS each and every day while also putting out NFL DFS and Fantasy Football coverage for you as we inc closer to the start of the NFL season.
