For tonight, June tenth, DFS players will have a slate of six games from which to select their lineups. Although Max Scherzer highlights the pitchers toeing the mound, there are a total of four hurlers who are averaging 16 FPTS or more on the season.
Pitcher
Top-tier
Max Scherzer(Nationals) $11400 vs Giants 5-4 record with a 2.22 ERA/0.82 WHIP. Scherzer is averaging 27.1 FPTS/game and has 104 strikeouts over 77 innings.
Zack Greinke(Astros) $7800 @ Red Sox Has scored at least 19 FPTS in four of his last five starts. On the season, Greinke has a 6-2 record(3.38 ERA/1.09 WHIP). Despite the tough matchup, Greinke is the most cost efficient option on the slate.
Others I Like
Trevor Rogers(Marlins) $9000 vs Rockies 6-3 record with a 1.97 ERA/1.09 WHIP(averaging 20.3 FPTS/game).
Frankie Montas(A’s) $8100 vs Royals Montas has shown strikeout potential with 65 strikeouts over 63.2 innings, and has scored at least 19.8 FPTS in three of his last four home starts. He is very good value at this price point.

Christian Arroyo(2B-Red Sox) $3k vs Astros

Stacks
My two favorite stacks for this slate are the Blue Jays and Astros, both of which will be on the road. The Astros will be facing the home standing Red Sox(Eduardo Rodríguez), while the Blue Jays visit the White Sox(Dallas Keuchel). Rodríguez has a 5-4 record(5.59 ERA/1.41 WHIP), while Keuchel is 4-1(4.25 ERA/1.29 WHIP).
Despite having above .500 records, both Rodríguez and Keuchel have been very hittable. In addition, many players from both the Blue Jays and Astros are just a shade under their normal salaries(especially Guerrero JR). This will allow salary cap space at other positions.
