For tomorrow, May 15th, fantasy managers have a slate of ten games from which to select their lineups from. There are at least four pitching “studs” and several good mid-tier alternatives to choose from, making this a more pitching dominating set of games.

Pitchers

Top-tier

Aaron Nola(Phillies) $10,300 @ Blue Jays 3-2 record with 3.59 ERA/1.03 WHIP(averaging 20.1 FPTS/game)

Carlos Rodon(White Sox) $10000 vs Royals 4-0/0.36 ERA/0.72 WHIP after experiencing back and hamstring tightness on Thursday, Rodon was pushed back to Saturday.

Others I Like 

1. Trevor Bauer(Dodgers) $11000 vs Marlins 3-2 2.50 ERA/0.82 WHIP although it is impossible to not love Bauer, it is also equally as hard to fit his high salary in your lineup.

Ian Anderson(Braves) $9200 @ Brewers averaging 17.5 FPTS on the season

Domingo German(Yankees) $7900 @ Orioles

Dane Dunning($6800) @Astros

This is a very difficult slate to select your pitchers and have room available for your favorite hitters. It will be hard not to land on German, and then select your favorite “ace”.

Stacks

As previously mentioned, there are several very strong pitchers in this slate. Keeping that in mind, I strayed away from these matchups. My three favorite stacks are the Cardinals, Dodgers and White Sox.

Although only one Rockies’ and no Reds’ players are listed, this should be another high scoring affair. DraftKings has done a great job setting prices for this game, making most of the key players near the top salaries for every position.
