Tonight, there are only five games on the DraftKings main slate. There are not a lot of pitching options, but quite a few interesting hitting teams to stack. In tournaments, do not be afraid to leave money on the table to fit in the players you want. With just 10 teams taking the mound, the player pool is quite limited. Let’s take a look at some options at each position this evening.

Pitcher
Zack Greinke (ARI): $10,600 vs. SF
The top-tiered pitching options are nothing to get overly excited about, but the Diamondbacks ace seems to be the safest pitcher who can also provide GPP-winning upside. The San Francisco Giants are a team who can be targeted, as proven true from Patrick Corbin and Robbie Ray’s most recent outings. San Fran is ranked as a bottom 10 team in K%, wOBA, and wRC+ to start 2018 which has led to a 7-10 record. Greinke is a pitcher who should carry a lot of ownership but is the hardest to fade. There is no other starting pitcher taking the mound tonight who can provide the same floor and ceiling as Greinke. Start him with confidence and try to get contrarian with hitters.
