Narrowing down the options on Tuesday’s full 15-game MLB slate is a challenge with numerous high and mid-priced aces on the mound plus a game at Coors Field with a whopping 13 run total according to Vegas. We are going to need to save some salary somewhere either with our SP2 or a couple of our bats (or both) if we want to get at least some exposure to an ace and bats at Coors. Read on to find out where I am getting my value on the Tuesday night slate.
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.

Charlie Morton (TB): $10,600 vs. BAL
Luckily, my top ranked pitcher, Morton, also saves us a few bucks off the highest priced arms on the slate. He has been pitching consistently well all season long and will be a huge home favorite on Tuesday against the visiting Orioles. At home this season, Morton has allowed just a .263 wOBA while posting a 31.7% strikeout rate. Meanwhile, over the last 30 days, the Orioles have posted a 25.0% strikeout rate against right-handed pitching while ranking in the bottom third in the league in wOBA and wRC+. Morton should coast to an easy win on Tuesday to anchor your pitching.
