This will be one of the biggest sporting days of the season. We actually have every MLB and every NBA team in action. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that before and it’ll be fun to sit in front of the tube and check out all this action. We’re talking about baseball here, though, and I’m looking to build off of a hot start. My first three articles have been on point, and I feel like we have a great read on how these players are performing. With that in mind, let’s get started with the pitchers!

Starting Pitcher Strategy
We’re at the backend of the rotations once again, and it’s leaving us with a lackluster group of pitchers. With that said, there are some guys in brilliant spots and some severely undervalued arms. Our favorite pitcher was from Tampa yesterday, and we’re going right back to the well. Let’s get started with that breakout candidate!
Cash Game Recommendations:
Drew Rasmussen (TB) vs. OAK
Oakland had the worst offense in every metric last year, and they’ll be battling for that spot once again. They have no legitimate MLB hitters and will struggle in a spacious park like Tropicana Field. It becomes even more difficult against Rasmussen, generating a 2.84 ERA and 1.05 WHIP over the last two years. He also threw six scoreless innings in his debut and enters this matchup as a -275 favorite!
Hitter Strategy
Sunday slates are always the best from a DFS perspective. I say that because we get random lineups with a bunch of fill-in bats. That gives us a ton of unexpected value which is fantastic since we were able to find so many cheap pitchers we like. Stacking the Colors Field game is the best approach, and then we’ll mix in some Rays, Yankees, Angels, and Tigers as well.
