BEN’S MLB DAILY FANTASY INTRO

What’s up, 4DEEP?! Wasn’t the best night in the MLB streets for myself yesterday, but today is a new day and there’s money to be won! We have a ton of great pitching options to choose from as well as some bats in a few spots I love. Overall, I think this is a great slate and should be some EZ money.

PITCHERS

Tyler Glasnow FD $11,200 – Massive price tag for Glasnow in a spot where I think a lot of people will look elsewhere. Glasnow is matchup-proof and can still go out there and get 40+ FD points, but it is a little riskier with his high price tag.
Pablo Lopez FD $11,000 – Coming off his best start of the season and now has a cake matchup against the White Sox. He will be the chalk in this expensive tier, which is why I’m considering Glasnow in a few of my builds.
Grayson Rodriguez FD $9,000 – Have been all over him this season and he’s in another good spot against the Rays, who struggle mightily against RHP.
Sawyer Gibson-Long FD $7,400 – Not sure if I’ll get all the way down to Gibson-Long tonight, but he’s a serviceable pitcher and I LOVE targeting this Angel lineup right now (especially with reports that Ohtani has cleared out his things from the locker room).

STACKS

Phillies – Mikolas has not given up less than three earned runs in his last six starts and I expect that trend to continue here. 1-9 are truly all in play with Harper, JT, Bohm and one of Casty, Marsh, Rojas for value.
Reds – Megill is someone who can be really bad if the game doesn’t start his way early and the Mets bullpen is not one to shy away from. They are super cheap and help you fit Glasnow/Lopez in your lineups. My favorites are Fraley, Martini, Friedl, CES, and De La Cruz.
Twins – They just keep blowing their load and I’m sick of missing it, lol. Lewis is a God, Kepler is as good as he’s ever been, and Julien, Kirilloff, and Wallner are super cheap with big upside.
Brewers – The Brew Crew have not treated me well this season when I’ve been on them, but this spot is too good to ignore. Top plays include Frelick, Contreras, Adames, and Dongaldson.
