Tuesday's Starting Pitcher Strategy
The top pitcher tonight has the highest ceiling. However, his salary requires making significant hitter concessions. So, he is best reserved for tournaments. On the other hand, the second-ranked pitcher is excellent and the best choice in cash games. And the final two pitchers are the best SP2s at DK. Further, they're intriguing GPP options at FD.

Cash Game Recommendations:

Logan Webb (SF) vs. WSH
Webb hasn't been perfect this year. Yet, his overall profile is stellar. According to FanGraphs, Webb has a 3.80 ERA, 3.78 xERA, 2.99 xFIP, 1.11 WHIP, 57.9 GB%, 3.9 BB%, 27.0 K% and 31.1 CSW% in seven starts, totaling 45.0 innings.

In addition, Webb's in good form and dominates at home. He's spun three straight quality starts, tallying a 2.53 ERA, 3.39 xFIP, 0.98 WHIP, 58.9 GB%, 4.9 BB% and 24.7 K% in 21.1 innings. And in 192.0 innings at home since 2021, Webb has had a 2.48 ERA, 2.78 xFIP, 1.13 WHIP, 5.7 BB% and 25.4 K%.

The betting info is also dreamy. According to Betting Pros, the Giants are -250, and the game's total is a non-threatening 8.0 runs. So, saving money from the top hurler by pivoting to Webb is ideal in cash games. And Webb has a high enough ceiling to warrant GPP consideration.

Tuesday's Hitter Strategy
The Brewers and the Giants are my favorite sources for hitters tonight. And Buxton's potential is alluring as a one-off against Michael Wacha.
