Tuesday night brings us a full 15-game slate of MLB action to dissect for our DraftKings DFS lineups. There are plenty of aces on the mound to choose from, but you will only be able to roster one of them to fit in some bats. I don’t expect my choice to be the most popular option on the slate, but I like his great floor and upside combo the most. On the hitting side, narrowing down to my top option was surprisingly easy despite the full 15-game 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.

Pitchers
Stephen Strasburg (WAS): $10,700 vs. COL
I fully expect that Chris Sale will be the highest owned pitcher on the slate, but I’d prefer to pivot to Strasburg pitching at home against the Rockies. The Rockies are abysmal on the road against right-handed pitching this season ranking dead last in wOBA (.276) and wRC+ (66) with the 4th highest strikeout rate (26.3%). They have been even worse over the last 30 days in each of those metrics. Meanwhile, Strasburg has allowed a total of three runs over his last three starts with 27 strikeouts over 18 2/3 innings and three wins. He is a hefty Vegas favorite again on Tuesday night.
