Tonight is a weird night for MLB DFS. There are six different slates to play this evening on DraftKings. In this article, we will break down the short, main-slate which includes just four games. The other thing is that this slate will start an hour early, to get the Astros at Indians game in. At a glance, the Red Sox will come in at high-ownership along with one of the top two starting pitchers. The Boston bats are expensive and hard to fit in. With the lack of viable pivots, paying up for both starting pitchers might be the safer way to go, while trying to find value elsewhere. Let’s take a look at some of the best options.

Pitcher
Rick Porcello (BOS): $11,200 @ TB
The safest starting pitcher on the board tonight is Rick Porcello. The Red Sox starter comes in as a -132 favorite on the road in a very pitcher-friendly ballpark. After an off-year in 2017, the former Cy Young winner is seemingly back to form of domination. The strikeout rate is at 24.4% which is the highest of his career, while is SIERA is now 3.31. Also a career best. The Rays are not a team to be feared outside of one or two hitters making this a great matchup. This sets Porcello apart from the rest of the field if we take raw points into consideration. The salary is high, but with so much value on the board, he should be easy to fit in.
