FanDuel has included the return of Stephen Strasburg to the mound as the Nationals vs Marlins game is on their slate but not on DraftKings which is only a five game night slate today.
There are no weather issues today.

SHOHEI OHTANI
The streak has to end at some point here (says the guy who has been saying this for about a week now). The Angels turn to Ohtani, who is always very good at home and might have the benefit of shadows in the first inning.
NICK PIVETTA
Just take the game stack out in SoCal tonight for pitching arms. We’re buying into Ohtani because he dominated the Red Sox once before and we’re buying into Pivetta because … have you seen that Angels lineup?

My Fade
Max Fried … The Fried spidey senses are not liking this game vs the Pirates tonight.

Ramirez, Naylor, Rosario
A guy who struggles vs lefties pitching in Cleveland? Where do I collect the winnings. All in on the Tribe tonight and the other side should have a nice sneaky get right game here as well. Good game stack scenario.

Witt, Melendez
The theme tonight is finding value in a full stack build and the Royals have that + Jordan Lyles has given up 7 HR on the road this season (basically all his HR allowed). This is a big park yes, but the Royals can find the gaps seeing Lyles the second time this year.

Judge, Rizzo Stanton
Bundy has held visiting opponents to just a .184 AVG, .268 SLG and .086 ISO in Target Field this season.
That’s cute… Good for him

OWNERSHIP THOUGHTS
I would not touch Cole or Fried tonight, let others go there on pitching because I wouldn’t expect either to have BIG strikeout games. So pitching you can get away without being worried about chalk but not necessarily going full leverage against them.
Bats are expensive, so make sure your stack includes two value guys in it, which is why I like Cleveland/Oakland the most.
