Tuesday's Starting Pitcher Strategy

I advise doubling up on the middle-tier fringe aces on DraftKings, namely in cash games. That means ponying up for the combination of Lucas Giolito and Blake Snell. Austin Gomber's an attractive pivot in GPPs. Meanwhile, Edward Cabrera is another GPP option -- only on DraftKings -- who offers a huge salary discount from his fellow touted peers.

Cash Game Recommendations:

Lucas Giolito (CWS) vs. PIT
Giolito's been sharp in his last dozen starts. According to FanGraphs, he's piled up 72.1 innings, tallying a 3.48 ERA, 3.85 SIERA, 1.09 WHIP, 5.6 BB%, 25.3 K%, and 29.9 CSW%. Moreover, the righty's improved control hasn't come at the expense of a high strikeout rate, allowing him to remain a daily fantasy baseball asset.
