Tuesday's Starting Pitcher Strategy
The pitching is absurdly good and deep on tonight's slate. Nevertheless, the two highest-ranked pitchers on the table were no-brainer choices. Additionally, the bargain hurlers rounding out the table were easy picks.

Cash Game Recommendations:

Gerrit Cole (NYY) vs. CLE
Cole narrowly edges out the top suggested tournament pitcher for this placement in the article. The flame-throwing righty is pitching well this year and dominates at home. According to FanGraphs, Cole has had a 2.69 ERA, 2.81 xFIP, 0.97 WHIP, 5.6 BB% and 33.4 K% in 248.0 innings at home for the Yankees since signing with them in 2020.

He should put on a show for the fans against a below-average offense. The Guardians are 23rd in wRC+ (88) against righties this season. And per Betting Pros, the Yankees are -178, and the game's total is a pitcher-friendly 7.5 runs. Thus, Cole is the top pitcher on tonight's slate.

Tuesday's Hitter Strategy
The Cardinals and Angels are my favorite offensive sources tonight. They have a desirable blend of high-salaried studs and bargains. Happ and Bellinger are also nifty picks at FD and DK, respectively.
