Maybe it’s just because my hometown Brewers look like a legitimate baseball team again, but something about this MLB season just feels exciting. With only five games on tonight’s main slate, we’ll have to get creative when mining for value. Per usual, I’ll be focusing on lineup stacks where possible – a typical GPP strategy – and looking to pay up for starting pitching to elevate my lineup’s ceiling. Throughout the season this article will primarily focus on players on the teams with the highest implied team totals for the day.
As always, you must pay close attention to batting lineups when they are released in addition to monitoring weather reports leading up to game time. For reference throughout the season, be sure to bookmark our overview of MLB Park Factors and how to Use Weather to Your Advantage in MLB DFS.
