After that successful Saturday slate, we’re ready to keep rolling here! We had a terrible group of pitchers on Saturday, but this Sunday card is ridiculous. It feels like we have All-Stars toeing the rubber in every game, and it’s going to make for a sensational slate. There’s obviously a ton to discuss when it comes to those arms, so let’s start there!

Starting Pitcher Strategy
This is one of the most challenging slates I’ve ever written about from a pitching perspective. It was nearly impossible to limit it to just four guys because it feels like every top-notch starter is toeing the rubber. That’s leaving us with a ton of great options, so, let’s get started with one of the favorites for NL Cy Young!
Cash Game Recommendations:
Max Scherzer (NYM) at OAK
Mad Max has gotten off to a slow start, but this is the game to get him right. Oakland was dead-last in every offensive statistic last season, and playing in Oakland Coliseum is a major reason why. That’s bad news against an ace like Scherzer, sporting a 2.38 ERA and 0.88 WHIP over the last two years. He’s also got 409 Ks across 324 innings, entering this matchup as a -250 favorite!
Hitter Strategy
I love this slate from a lineup perspective. The one thing you’re going to have to do is pay up at pitcher. There are way too many good arms to fade all of them, and it’ll be imperative to get the right ones in there. That means mixing in some of these value bats will be critical, and we’ve found a bunch of righty mashers who smash left-handed pitching. You should find a good mix from those value plays and stack teams like the Mariners, Mets, Guardians, Braves, and Dodgers. There’s plenty of value from all of those teams to build around two stud pitchers, and it’ll be fun to see how these lineups end up looking.
