There are just five games scheduled in the MLB this evening, as five other games will be played in the morning. While there are two separate slates, for DFS purposes, this article will focus on the games starting at 7 pm EST. Although there are not a lot of teams in action tonight, there are plenty of DFS relevant options at all positions. Without any top-tier aces toeing the rubber, salary should not be an issue when it comes to stacking and fitting in the stud hitters. Let’s break down this slate further to find some of the best plays of the night.

Pitcher

Jon Gray (COL): $8,500 @ SF
Arguably the most talked about starting pitcher in DFS, Jon Gray comes in tonight at $8,500. Gray is an anomaly. His skill is unquestioned. However, year after year he posts an incredibly inflated ERA. This season is no different. After his first two starts, the Rockies starter owns a 5.68 ERA. While earned runs is a surface statistic and can be dissected into a more accurate perception. For his career, Gray owns a 3.53 xFIP and 3.71 SIERA compared to a 4.68 ERA. For 2019, albeit just 12.2 innings, he owns a 3.07 xFIP and 3.03 SIERA. He is a much better pitcher than what his surface numbers indicate. Now, for tonight. Gray gets an amazing matchup against a weak Giants lineup. Moreover, Gray will also pitch in one of the best pitchers ballparks in the MLB. This is a massive upgrade from Coors Field, the best hitters ballpark in the MLB. Although he will be popular tonight, he appears to be a cash-game lock who is very capable of producing the most fantasy points at the position.
