Get hyped for a fun-looking 15-game MLB slate on DraftKings Tuesday night. There is a bevy of strong pitching options across the full salary scale which allows for spending some money on bats if you wish. On this slate, that is the route that I am looking to go by using a value stud on the hill and pairing him with a value arm, which allows me to get some premium hitters in good spots.
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
Sonny Gray (CIN): $9,700 vs. SD
Gray is the value ace that I want for my cash game lineups pitching at home against the Padres. He has been mowing down the opposition recently with 18 consecutive scoreless innings over his last three starts. Gray has been nearly unhittable allowing a total of just seven hits during that stretch with 24 strikeouts. The Padres just struck out 14 times in the previous game versus Reds right-handed pitching and have a 27.0% strikeout rate (4th) against righties over the last 30 days.
