FanDuel DFS Pitchers

Yu Darvish - CHC vs CIN ($11,500)

Tonight's main slate is headlined by three NL Cy Young candidates in Yu Darvish, Clayton Kershaw, and Trevor Bauer. All three are strong options, but Bauer has the lowest floor against a strong Cubs lineup, while Kershaw has the lowest ceiling of the bunch with the least strikeout upside. That leaves Darvish as the top option overall, as he's having a brilliant season with a 33.0% K-rate and just a 4.2% walk-rate. He has a good matchup against the Reds, who strike out 24.4% of the time against righties.

Dane Dunning - CWS at PIT ($7,700)

Dunning has impressed through his first three career starts, with 18 strikeouts in 14 innings and a 3.86 ERA. He should continue his success against the weakest lineup in all of baseball against right-handed pitching, the Pirates, who have just a .265 wOBA. While it's tough to avoid one of the high-end starting pitchers in GPP contests, Dunning is a great contrarian option if you want to spend more on hitters. Dunning is also an option to look for in cash games.

 

FanDuel DFS Infielders

Matt Olson - 1B, OAK vs. HOU ($3,100)

While Olson is struggling with his batting average this season, it's encouraging to see a career-high 15.3% walk-rate. Furthermore, he's still hitting for plenty of power with 11 homers. These are signs to buy low on Olson, who has a great matchup tonight against Astros rookie Luis Garcia. Garcia is making just his second big league start and is susceptible to a blow-up outing.

Tommy La Stella - 2B, OAK vs. HOU ($2,900)

Pairing La Stella with Olson is an awesome start to a cheap stack opportunity. La Stella has an extremely low 5.5% K-rate, which is less than half of his 11.6% walk-rate. That gives him great odds at getting on base, and he will have plenty of chances to do so out of the A's leadoff spot.

Yoan Moncada - 3B, CWS at PIT ($3,100)

White Sox hitters don't come very cheap these days, so Moncada is a steal at this price batting second in a high-powered offense. The White Sox lineup has the second-highest implied run total on the slate according to Vegas, so Moncada will see run and RBI opportunities.

Corey Seager - SS, LAD at ARI ($4,000)

Seager is scorching hot at the plate right now, batting .365 over the last two weeks. He's absolutely dominating righties this year with an absurd 201 wRC+, and that should continue against Diamondbacks starter Taylor Clarke. Clarke has outperformed his 4.74 FIP with a lucky .194 BABIP, so don't expect him to stop Seager or the Dodgers offense.

 

FanDuel DFS Outfielders

Nick Solak - OF, TEX vs LAA ($2,700)

Solak doesn't offer much in terms of power or speed, but he is still a cash game play to consider batting third for the Rangers. Opposing starter Julio Teheran has a disastrous 7.94 ERA in 2020, so Solak is a low-cost option who can help fill out your lineup and produce counting stats.

Starling Marte - OF, MIA @ ATL ($3,000)

Marte is off to a hot start with his new team in Miami, and he now has four homers to go with six steals. This upside makes him worth a look in GPP tournaments. Marte will bat second against Tommy Milone, who has a 5.30 ERA with a 1.77 HR/9.

Trent Grisham - OF, SDP vs COL ($3,200)

Grisham has an .883 OPS against righties and is in a spot to score plenty of runs atop the Padres lineup. Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela has just a 15.7% K-rate and a 4.52 SIERA, so Grisham should put the ball in play and do some damage.
