SP:

Eduardo Rodriguez, Arizona Diamondbacks (FD:$7,500 | DK:$6,500)

Aaron Nola, Philadelphia Phillies (FD:$10,500 | DK:$8,600)

Hunter Brown Houston Astros (FD:$9,300 | DK:$9,000)

Notes: Rodriguez is the number one ranked SP tonight on the DFS Hero Optimizer. Nola is the number two-ranked SP. Brown is the number five ranked SP tonight on the Optimizer but has an excellent matchup against a weak-hitting Mariners team. The Optimizer likes Chris Bassitt and Tanner Houck as well, ranking them as the number 3 and 4 pitchers.

Top Stacks:

Diamondbacks vs. Giants

Secondary Stack:

Phillies vs. Cubs

Notes: These are two of the best lineups in the National League, and with the slate being so small tonight, there really aren’t any better choices. There is no reason to get cute here.

JT Realmuto Philadelphia Phillies (FD:$3,000 | DK:$4,200)

Yainer Diaz, Houston Astros (FD:$3,100 | DK:$4,600)

Connor Wong, Boston Red Sox (FD:$2,800 | DK:$3,700)

Notes: Realmuto can be used in the Phillies stack tonight, and he is one of the best-hitting catchers in MLB. He is the number 1 ranked catcher on the Optimizer as well. Diaz is the number two ranked catcher on the Optimizer, and Wong is the number 4 ranked catcher.

Marte is one of the best-hitting 2B in the league this season and can be used in the D-Backs stack. I have a player listed in the value section, too.

3B:

Eugenio Suarez, Arizona Diamondbackss (FD:3,600 | DK:$4,700)

Alec Bohm, Philadelphia Phillies (FD:$3,300 | DK:$4,400)
