After breaking down the last two days, we’re finally at the end of the week. Sunday slates are always my favorite because it’s one of the few times all week when every lineup is submitted on time. That’s an underrated facet of MLB DFS because it’s nice to see every eligible player with a green check mark next to their name. We have all but four teams on the main card for this Sunday card, omitting the morning and night games from the schedule. There’s a ton to discuss, so let’s start with the arms.
Starting Pitcher Rankings
| PLAYER | DK SALARY | FD SALARY | VALUE | RISK |
| Tyler Glasnow (TB) at DET | $11,000 | $11,000 | Low | Low |
| Kyle Bradish (BAL) vs. NYM | $8,500 | $9,700 | Medium | Medium |
| Andrew Heaney (TEX) vs. MIA | $7,800 | $8,800 | Medium | Medium |
Starting Pitcher Strategy
We’ve had some lackluster pitching options over the last two days, but this one is not like that. There were three that really stood above the rest, and all three are in brilliant spots. With that said, we don’t have many value plays to talk about because we have so many high-end guys in such tasty spots. With that in mind, let’s start with a Tampa’s best pitcher!
Cash Game Recommendations:
Tyler Glasnow (TB) at DET
Glasnow got off to a slow start this season, but he’s been unstoppable recently. The Rays righty has allowed one run or fewer in five of his last seven starts, sporting a 2.08 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, and 13.1 K.9 rate in that span. That’s the Cy Young candidate we’ve come to love, and there’s no chance the Tigers get to him here. Detroit ranks bottom four in runs scored, OBP, wOBA, and K rate. All of that has Glasnow entering this matchup as a -200 favorite.
Hitter Strategy
It’s rare to have so many cheap players in great spots, but that’s what we have today! That’s going to make lineup construction a breeze because we have a ton of great pitchers to pick from. We didn’t even write up some of the great arms out there, but you can go whatever route you like from that perspective. You’ll have to save at the hitting positions because there are too many high-end pitching options on this slate. The good news is we have numerous cheap offenses to pick from, with the Giants, Cardinals, Rays, Reds, Orioles, Blue Jays, Brewers, and Phillies all looking like outstanding options!
