Zac Gallen, Arizona Diamondbacks (FD:$9,800 | DK:$9,000)

Notes: Gausman is the number one ranked SP tonight on the DFS Hero Optimizer. Gallen is the number two-ranked SP. Martin is the number 3 ranked SP tonight on the Optimizer and is very cheap. The Optimizer likes aces Dylan Cease and Chris Sale as well, ranking them as the number 5 and 6 pitchers.
Top Stacks:
Diamondbacks vs. Giants
Cardinals vs. Rockies
Rockies vs. Cardinals
Notes: The D-Backs are one of the best lineups in MLB this season and have a good matchup tonight. The Cardinals and Rockies match up in Coors Field in what should be a high-scoring game.

Shea Langeliers, Oakland Athletics (FD:$2,800 | DK:$4,000)
Hunter Goodman, Colorado Rockies (FD:$3,300 | DK:$4,200)
Ivan Herrera, St. Louis Cardinals (FD:$3,200 | DK:$4,800)
Notes: Goodman and Hererra can be used in my top stacks tonight. Langeliers is the Optimizer’s number-one ranked catcher tonight and is one of the top power-hitting catchers in the league. I have a great value option at catcher tonight, too, who you can find listed below. The Optimizer also likes Braves catcher Travis d’Arnaud.
1B:
Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Toronto Blue Jayss (FD:$3,700 | DK:$5,300)
Paul Goldschmidt, St. Louis Cardinals (FD:$3,400 | DK:$5,100)

2B:
Gleyber Torres, New York Yankees (FD:$2,900 | DK:$4,200)
Ketel Marte, Arizona Diamondbacks (FD:$4,200 | DK:$6,100)
Brendan Rodgers, Colorado Rockies (FD:$3,200 | DK:$4,400)
Notes: Torres is the number 5 ranked 2B on the Simulator tonight, has been on fire at the plate recently, and has a 26% chance to 3X tonight. Rodgers can be used in the Rockies stack and has a 22% chance to 3X. 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:3,500 | DK:$4,400)
Nolan Arenado, St. Louis Cardinals (FD:$3,300 | DK:$4,900)
Ryan McMahon, Colorado Rockies (FD:$3,500 | DK:$5,100)
Notes: All three players can be used in my top stacks tonight. The Simulator likes Arenado the most of the 3 guys, ranking him 5th on the SImulator and the Optimizer. The Simulator also likes Mark Vientos and Max Muncy.
SS:
Masyn Winn, St. Louis Cardinals (FD:$3,400 | DK:$4,700)
Zach Neto, Los Angeles Angels (FD:$3,300 | DK:$4,300)
Ezequiel Tovar, Colorado Rockies (FD:$3,600 | DK:$5,600)
Notes: Winn is the number 1 ranked SS on the DFS Hero Simulator today and can be used in the Cardinals stack. Neto is the 2nd ranked SS on the simulator tonight and has a 30% chance to 3X. Tovar can be used in the Rockies stack and is always a good option when he is in Coors. I have a value play at the position tonight as well.

Charlie Blackmon, Colorado Rockies (FD:$3,400 | DK:$4,800)

Jake McCarthy, Arizona Diamondbacks (FD:$2,900 | DK:$4,000)

Value Players:
SP Edward Cabrera, Miami Marlins (FD:$8,100 | DK:$6,200)
C Gabriel Moreno, Arizona Diamondbacks (FD:$2,600 | DK:$3,400)
2B Thomas Saggese, St. Louis Cardinals (FD:$2,900 | DK:$3,100)
SS Geraldo Perdomo, Arizona Diamondbacks (FD:$2,700 | DK:$3,500)
OF Gustavo Campero, Los Angeles Angels (FD:$2,000 | DK:$2,300)
Notes: Cabrera is the number 4 ranked pitcher on the Optimizer tonight and is facing a struggling Twins team. Moreno is the number 2 catcher on the Optimizer tonight and is a cheap option for the D-Backs. Saggese is the number 1 ranked 2B on the simulator and has a 40% chance to 3X. He is going to be very highly owned tonight, though, because he is cheap and in Coors. Perdomo has a 25% chance to 3X, but I mostly like him as a pivot off of the bigger names and as a cheap option in the D-Backs stack. Campero has a 47% chance to 3X tonight and a 35% chance to 4X.
