The Saturday slate was challenging at times, but we’re satisfied with the results. We still made some cash, and we will send that bankroll into this Sunday card. Playing on Sundays is one of my favorite days because it’s one of the only times when almost every lineup is in at the same time. It’s frustrating to wait for lineups to come out, and having that security makes things so much simpler. We also get some bizarre lineups on Sundays because it’s a good time to rest players, which opens up even more value.

Starting Pitcher Strategy
We didn’t have too many big-name pitchers in yesterday’s article, but that’s not the case today. Limiting it to just four guys was challenging, but we have four arms in some fantastic spots. With that said, most of these guys have struggled at times this season, but they’re all too talented to avoid in magical matchups like these. With that in mind, let’s get started with the ace who has the best matchup on the slate!
Cash Game Recommendations:
Zack Wheeler (PHI) at OAK
It’s easy to stack against Oakland on every slate. They have the worst pitching staff in baseball and the worst lineup. They rank last in almost every offensive category since the start of last season. That’s bad news against a stud like Wheeler, who’s got a 2.97 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over the last three years. He’s also got a 10.1 K/9 rate and should slice right through this atrocious A’s lineup.
Hitter Strategy
You know what we will do here if you read yesterday’s article. We talked about how it was impossible to fade the Braves and Phillies because they have the two best matchups in baseball. That’s been on full display this week, averaging 8.4 runs over their last five games, while Philly is averaging 6.9 runs across their last seven outings. Getting to face the Rockies and A’s makes them the easiest stack out there, and getting a small piece of that will be critical. Some of the other teams we like include the Twins, Reds, Brewers, Astros, and Guardians. There’s so much value between all of these teams that it should be easy to squeeze in the expensive pitchers mentioned above.
