Another full set of 15 games are lined up for Tuesday night in the majors. As is usually the case with a full slate, there are plenty of different ways you can go with your DFS lineup. In cash games, I’d recommend getting one high-priced pitcher and a pair him with a value arm so that you still have room for a few higher-priced bats who could be underpriced for their matchup and recent success. In GPPs, feel free to lock in a pair of your favorite value pitchers and load up on high-priced hitter stacks.
As always, be sure to pay close attention to the lineups when they are released and monitor the weather 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.

Stephen Strasburg (WAS): $11,500 vs. CWS
Strasburg has been pitching deep into games for the Nationals this season, with at least six innings pitched in nine consecutive starts. By pitching deep into the game, he can rack up a lot of strikeouts and give himself an increased chance for a win. He will be pitching at home on Tuesday against the visiting White Sox. Over the last 30 days, the White Sox have the second-highest strikeout rate (26.9%) against right-handed pitchers, while ranking 27th in wOBA (.290). Strasburg is the biggest Vegas favorite on the board and should be worth the high price tag.
