Saturday’s are always interesting in terms of slate construction and this is yet another fascinating schedule here. The slate that we’re going to key in on is the nightcap, which consists of nine fixtures. It does have a Coors Field game in the midst of it and it’s going to be imperative to build your lineup around that, with that total being in the 14-range.

Pitcher
Stephen Strasburg (WSH) $11,200 vs. MIA
The pitching options on this slate hurt a little bit, so let’s just go with the safest guy on the board. Strasburg is just that, as he should have no problem cruising through this cupcake lineup. Let’s start with this matchup, with the Marlins ranked bottom-two in runs scored, OBP, OPS and xwOBA. That becomes very scary against a guy like Strasburg, who has a 3.63 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 3.30 xFIP and 29 percent K rate. That’s why he and the Nationals enter this matchup as a -325 favorite.
