Pitchers

Zack Wheeler (PHI) $10,000 vs. MIA

Wheeler has been a consistent pitching option thus far this season for the Phillies. He’s coming off of his fifth quality start of the year with a great matchup against Miami for this slate. In 2021, Wheeler has averaged a solid 22.7 FPPG for his owners. Over his career versus these current Marlins players, Wheeler has held them to a .193 batting average with a 27:6 K/BB ratio. 

Lance Lynn (CWS) $9,800 @MIN

Lynn is listed as probable for this start due to a hand injury but should be ready to go. In his last start versus Minnesota, Lynn was having a great day before taking a comebacker to his right hand. He ended up getting the win with nine K’s over five innings. So far this season, Lynn holds a 1.30 ERA with a 0.98 WHIP.

Eduardo Rodriguez (BOS) $8,800 @TOR

The good thing about Rodriguez is his ability to win games thus far in 2021. He’s managed to win 5-of-6 games, averaging 18.1 FPPG. In his most recent game versus this Toronto team, Rodriguez pitched six solid innings, allowing two earned runs with 6 K’s. This is a game where he could easily record 6-8 K’s and grab another win for your DFS lineups. 

Hitting Stacks

Nationals Hitters versus Zach Davies

This is a game I will be targeting on both sides for hitting stacks! Davies has been atrocious overall so far this season, holding a 5.60 ERA and averaging just 6.0 FPPG. Some of these Nationals hitters have had success in the past against him as well. Both Josh Harrison and Kyle Schwarber have faired well against Davies. Schwarber doesn’t hold the best batting average versus him but has smashed four homers though!

Cubs Hitters versus Patrick Corbin

Like Davies, Corbin hasn’t been a productive pitching option for this squad thus far in 2021. Holding a putrid 6.19 ERA and just two wins this season, Corbin could have trouble against some familiar Cubs hitters on Tuesday night. Kris Bryant is easily one of my favorite overall hitters for this slate of games! Bryant with a career .455 batting average versus Corbin and Javier Baez are two of my main plays from this Chicago lineup.

Well, hopefully, this advice will help you guys reach DFS glory for Tuesday’s slate! With some solid pitching matchups and a few good stacking options, we should all be set for a good evening. Thanks for reading!
