Cole Hamels (-235 Favorite) $8,600

Hamels is a great play in all formats tonight with a matchup at home against the White Sox. He is a huge favorite and remains fairly cheap across all DFS platforms. The Cubs bats should be able to provide him plenty of run support with a great matchup against Ivan Nova.

Jack Flaherty (-230 Favorite) $8,000

Flaherty is also a great play in all formats tonight for all the right reasons. He has a good matchup against the Marlins, he’s at home, and he is a massive favorite, so a win looks very likely. Flaherty has had his ups and downs all year long, but he’s still a young pitcher and certainly has the stuff to rack up the points. I don’t mind him in either Cash or GPP, but would lean more towards on GPP for him just because of his inconsistency.

Clayton Kershaw (-250 Favorite) $10,700

Kershaw is the more obvious play here, due to his name and matchup tonight. A start against the Giants at home certainly will catch a lot of eyes, and his price isn’t too shabby. I’m willing to pay $10,700 on him without really blinking an eye. Easily a cash play if you have some value bats to throw in your lineup tonight.

Angels

The Angels are in line to do some serious damage against Edwin Jackson in Toranto tonight. The total in this one is 10.5 and they are pretty decent favorites at -165. I think Trout is a must play in all formats, as well as trying to throw in any other Angels who are hitting in the meat of the lineup tonight.

Athletics

The A’s are massive favorites tonight against Andrew Cashner and the Orioles. The Atheltics bats remain fairly cheap across DFS platforms, making them a very valuable team to stack tonight. If Cashner unravels like he’s capable of doing, the A’s could make you a lot of money on this slate.

Dodgers

Maeda and the Dodgers are the biggest favorites on tonight’s slate at -240. They draw a great matchup against the struggling Tyler Beede of the Giants, who sports an 8.06 ERA. Maeda and all the Dodger bats make for great plays tonight in any format.

It’s a new week and we are ready to crush these slates! Let’s look into some teams you should be stacking for tonight’s MLB main slate.

Phillies

The Phills find themselves in an awesome position tonight at home against Taylor Clarke of the D-Backs. The Phillies are favorites in this one and this game has a nice total of 9.5. Clarke has a 4.43 ERA so far this year and should struggle tonight against a powerful Phillies offense in a friendly hitting ballpark.

Braves

Musgrove gets the nod tonight for the Pirates in Atlanta. He actually just threw a gem against them last start, going 8 innings and striking out 6. However, the chances are slim that he duplicates this in Atlanta. The Braves are favorites in this one and the total is 10. Even though Musgrove had a good start last time out, he has still given up 26 hits in his last 3 starts. The Braves are a great team to target tonight.

Nationals

The Nationals have arguably the best matchup of the night in Chicago against Odrisamer Despaigne. This game has a big total of 10.5 and they are pretty decent favorites. Despaigne has a 4.94 career ERA and he has seen basically no action this entire season. I fully expect him to get knocked around tonight against the Nats.

Brewers

The Brewers find themselves with another awesome matchup tonight against Rookie Davis and the Pirates. Davis has been a reliever in all of his outings so far this year, so I expect the Pirates to have more of a bullpen day, which could really hurt them. The Brewers have been disappointing all week, but I won’t let that stop me from a juicy matchup at home.

Royals/White Sox

This game has a big total of 10. Both teams have a good opportunity to put up some runs, while remaining fairly cheep on DFS platforms.  If you are looking to do a full game stack tonight, this is the game to do it. A pitching matchup of Ivan Nova versus Homer Bailey, is always eye-catching in terms of hitting.

Angels

The Angels bats have been hot as of late, and they see a great matchup tonight with the Mariners in town. The lefty, Marco Gonzales is on the mound with a 4.89 ERA on the year so far. Look for all right-handed bats in this Angels lineup, as they all have great chances to produce. (Cough, cough, Mike Trout)

Brewers

I expect the Brew crew to have a big bounce back tonight against the Marlins. They got absolutely destroyed, losing 16 – 0 last night. The outcome tonight should be a lot different, as they are -250 favorites against the right hander, Sandy Alcantara. Alcantara has a 4 ERA and MIL is a great hitters ballpark. Expect a lot different things tonight for the Brewers.

Rangers

The Rangers are another favorite of mine for tonight’s slate for an obvious reason. They are at home and facing the Orioles pathetic pitching staff. On tonight’s menu, we have the lefty, John Means. Means has actually been pretty decent, but I don’t expect him to pitch well in this environment. There were a total of 23 runs in this game last night, I would target it again if I were you.

Red Sox

The Sox have a nice match up tonight against Junis of the Royals. Junis has a 5.35 ERA and I expect the Red Sox to take full advantage of this. Although the Sox bats are expensive, a stack of them could do you justice in tournaments.
