Pitchers
Embed from Getty ImagesTop-tier | Lucas Giolito (CWS) $9,600 VS BAL
Giolito has 7 games with 7+ strikeouts out of 10 starts this season, facing the Orioles who are averaging close to 9 strikeouts as a team per game makes this a high upside play with a safe floor.
Middle-tier | Steven Matz (TOR) $7,500 @CLE
Matz has been rock-solid all year for the Blue Jays posting 9+ strikeouts in 2 of his last 3 outings, going against a Cleveland lineup that is banged up and ranked 26th in the majors in runs. Matz should be started as a solid DFS winner in one of your two pitching slots.
Value-tier | Kyle Freeland (COL) $5,800 @PIT
Value is the key word with this selection, Freeland has only made one start this year but facing the abysmal Pirates order after a solid outing last time out Freeland should be able to keep his early success going.

The most exciting player in the game currently, Tatis Jr. gets a matchup with the soft throwing Zack Grienke where Tatis should flourish at the plate and on the base paths as well. With the young short stop on fire recently play Tatis Jr. with the utmost confidence and reap the benefits.
Middle-tier | Giancarlo Stanton (NYY) $4,300 @DET
In DFS, homeruns=massive point totals. Facing the struggling Tarik Skubal, Giancarlo Stanton and his massive power potential should make for a great play with a solid price who has multi-homer potential in this game.
Value-tier | Carlos Santana (KC) $4,100 @MIN

Santana is known for his renown ability to get on base, making for a solid floor. The Royals first baseman has found the power stroke recently, while he is now up to 10 homeruns on the year, he gets a matchup with Matt Shoemaker. Shoemaker is averaging about 1 HR an outing, Santana represents a high floor with a high upside ability start.

Royals/Twins Game
Both pitchers have struggled mightily this year, especially with the long ball. Look for sparks to fly on both sides in this one.
