Monday's Starting Pitcher Strategy
The pitching is rather lackluster tonight. However, the top pitcher on the table is an excellent option in all game types in a strikeout-friendly matchup. The second pitcher on the table hasn't been announced as his club's starter tonight. However, he is projected by Roster Resource to start against a team he pitched well against in a lengthy relief appearance in his last appearance. And the final option on the table has a challenging matchup and struggled in his first taste of the majors earlier this year. Nevertheless, he was dominant in the minors, making him a fun GPP pick.

Cash Game Recommendations:

Logan Gilbert (SEA) vs. MIN
Gilbert has been rock-solid with the ERA estimators this year to support his success. According to FanGraphs, in 18 starts spanning 108.1 innings, he's had a 3.66 ERA, 3.35 xERA, 3.69 xFIP, 0.98 WHIP, 4.4 BB%, 24.8 K% and 27.5 CSW%.

Gilbert has a desirable matchup and good betting info tonight. The Twins strike out a ton, fanning at a 27.1% clip against righties in 2023 and 27.3% of their plate appearances on the road this year. Furthermore, they're 22nd in wRC+ (90) on the road. And, again, the betting info is good. Per Betting Pros, the Mariners are -130, and the game's total is 7.0 runs.

Monday's Hitter Strategy
The Orioles and Rays are excellent sources for hitters tonight in all game types. Thankfully, they have some affordable options to complement their studs. And even Baltimore's top-shelf options have bargain salaries at FD.
