Tuesday's Starting Pitcher Strategy
It's not challenging to find top-shelf pitching on this slate. Instead, there were tricky cuts. Still, the top-ranked hurler is lights out with unmatched strikeout ability. The second pitcher on the table is an inviting pivot in GPPs. The third pitcher is the ideal SP2 in cash games at DK but a non-option at his inflated salary on FD. Finally, the last pitcher on the table is a desirable SP2 in GPPs at DK. His ceiling might be a pinch light for tournament consideration on FD, but taking a stab at him to build a hitter-centric lineup isn't outrageous.

Cash Game Recommendations:

Spencer Strider (ATL) vs. LAD
According to FanGraphs, Strider leads qualified pitchers in strikeouts per nine innings (14.98 K/9), strikeout rate (41.5 K%), called strikes and swinging strikes percentage (36.2 CSW%), Stuff+ (131), Pitching+ (117) and SIERA (2.48). Sadly, the elite righty's 2.96 ERA has fallen short of his ERA estimators. Nevertheless, that's obviously still an excellent mark.

The matchup is challenging. Yet, Strider's excellence makes him matchup-proof. Furthermore, the betting info is good. Per Betting Pros, the Braves are -210, and the game's total is 8.5 runs. Thus, Strider is the highest-ceiling option with a useful floor because of his elite strikeout rate, making him the top pitcher in all game types tonight.

.254 ISO and 128 wRC+ against lefties. Thankfully, he's continued to thrive against them this year, posting a .273 ISO and 112 wRC+.

Tuesday's Hitter Strategy
The pitching is loaded tonight, creating a need to rummage in the bargain bin for hitters tonight. Still, Soler and Olson are worthy high-salaried picks. And the Braves, Marlins and Mets are superb stacks, offering gamers high-end choices and bargains.
