Slate Overview: Rocking a Clevinger and 6 man stack build is once again where I think you need to start on FantasyDraft tonight as we have seen this sort of build return big wins on a nightly basis, but it is how you choose that stack and SP2 which will determine how you differentiate.

deGrom’s price and match-up sandwiched in between Clevinger and Flaherty give me hope we can nab him at single-digit ownership and if that ends up being true, I think he is the best GPP arm on the slate.

The Angels stack is really what makes this all work with the roster flexibility on FantasyDraft, going with the plethora of Angels outfielders at cheap price points is where you start. With this game being on the road in Oakland, you get a guaranteed 9th inning of at-bats which is why I like the idea of going with a wrap-around stack here with Max Stassi ($4.1K) in the 9 hole which gives you a punt play within your stack for added flexibility.

This leaves you with $6.3K-$6.4K per player for your last two one-offs and once you get lineups released, you will likely have a handful of sub $6K bats to pick from that add even more flexibility here tonight.

I am loving how this slate breaks with no real obvious offenses and a whole lot of pitching so let’s hope we land on the right 6 man stack here tonight friends!
