As a whole, Monday’s schedule is quite full, but for DFS purposes, the main slate drops two games and brings the total to nine. It’s rare for me to write this, but I actually want to have more options on Monday.
That’s not a good thing. It’s an indication that we have too many matchups filled with uncertainty to make a lineup with which we feel comfortable. And that’s before we factor in the salaries.
As always, there is a way to make the lineup work. It will require some creativity and a different approach between builds on DraftKings and FanDuel.

Monday’s Starting Pitcher Rankings
While I always mention the difference in pricing between DraftKings and FanDuel, Monday has an extreme disparity. This is highlighted by the slightly smaller slate, where players' salary ranks are more noticeable. That's the key for Monday: the order in which the pitchers are priced. Both websites list Brandon Woodruff as easily the top-priced pitcher with a large dropoff following him, but that's where the similarities end. It's hard to argue against Woodruff in this matchup, as he will face a Mets lineup that just had an emotional series against its crosstown rivals in the Yankees.
