Don’t play FanDuel today for early. There, I saved you a headache. On the Dashboard today the 4PM DraftKings Slate is considered the ‘Early’ slate. DK has six games and there are no weather issues in any of them.
- Texas at Oakland
- Toronto at Baltimore – 7 inning game
- Colorado at Philadelphia
- Milwaukee at Cleveland
- Tampa at Detroit
- Washington at Pittsburgh
Zack Wheeler
After two good offensive nights for the Rockies they should meet their match in Wheeler today. Wheeler has been much more consistent at home this year where his ERA is sub 2.50 and he seems to have higher strikeout performances. Wheeler struggled in August but his first September start was a nice bounce back 6 inning 9 strikeout performance and he should be looking to replicate it today against the Rockies — who are a team who can’t hit elite pitching.
Corbin Burnes
The Indians can be a pesky offense at home but Burnes’ cutter should do very well against them today. I would take the straight line path by paying up for both these ace pitchers.
Best value
Casey Mize … He remains limited but it’s a very short slate so we can take the risk of only getting 10 points here to balance out the hitting options. I would pair him with Wheeler of the two aces above.
Oakland Athletics
Olson – Canha – Harrison – Chapman
This could be a very high scoring game out in Oakland this afternoon and will be fairly contrarian. But neither pitcher is one to dominate teams that often and the Oakland offense looks really good at the top of the lineup today. This game should be the best game stack one on the board in my mind.
Toronto Blue Jays
Hernandez – Semien – Bichette
Despite it being a 7 inning game, this remains the spot to target.
Philadelphia Phillies
Galvis – McCutchen – Segura – Harper
