Rostering the starting pitcher with the most strikeouts on the slate is a reliable strategy for winning tournaments, and Tyler Glasnow ($10,500) is the guy to get that job done. Glasnow has an absurd 38.8% K-rate in his last 19 starts since the start of 2020 with a 3.29 ERA and easily has the most upside at starting pitcher tonight. He will be at home in a pitcher’s park against a Mets lineup that has struggled against righties with a .301 wOBA.

Joe Musgrove, SP: $8,000 – Musgrove is a strong value starter at his price against the Cardinals, who have been awful against righties with a .292 wOBA. Musgrove has a 3.18 FIP with a 34.8% K-rate, so it’s surprising to see him so affordable.
Jared Walsh, 1B: $3,300 – Walsh is absolutely torching right-handed pitching with a .369/.455/.655 line and six homers. He will be hitting cleanup in an extreme hitter’s park in Boston.
Marcus Semien, 2B/SS: $3,200 – Semien has caught fire in the month of May, as he’s on a 12 game hit streak while batting .358. Opposing starter Vince Velasquez has a 5.89 FIP.
Alex Bregman, 3B: $3,800 – Bregman is crushing lefties as usual this year with a 170 wRC+ and will be facing a weak southpaw in Wes Benjamin. Benjamin has a career 4.82 ERA so the Astros are a nice stack option.
Xander Bogaerts, SS: $3,300 – FanDuel’s pricing looks particularly soft on this slate, and there is no better example than Bogaerts. He’s batting .346 with five homers in the last two weeks and will be at home against Griffin Canning, owner of a 2.08 HR/9.
Giancarlo Stanton, OF: $3,500 – Stanton and the Yankees should tee off on Dean Kremer, who has a 6.23 ERA this season. Stanton is a great GPP play for his home run potential.
Alex Verdugo, OF: $3,000 – Verdugo is another Red Sox hitter to use in a stack, and he’s also a good standalone value play in cash games. Verdugo is batting .292 against righties and will bat second in the order.
Teoscar Hernandez, OF: $3,300 – Hernandez will bat fourth for the Blue Jays and is an essential member of a Toronto stack. He is batting .360 over the last 15 days.
I’m Only Happy When It Rains
As of early in the day there is nothing to worry about with weather.

I like Cleveland at -115 with Aaron Civale on the mound against Seattle.
