Slate Overview: The more I look at this slate, the harder it is to find realistic pivots and I think as a result it will become one of the chalkier 7 game MLB DFS slates with everyone going with Gray as an SP1.

The only real way in my mind to try and differentiate tonight is to simply plant your flag and go all-in with an offense and 6 man stacking the Brewers is what will make or break this build. The overall appeal of this slate is mediocre so I would be smart with your bankroll today but also, do not overthink it. The clearest path to me is going with Gray, stacking a high upside offense like Milwaukee or New York and then finding the cheap SP2/value bats to make it all work.

Good luck all! Happy Monday!
