We have another beautifully compact slate for Monday night with seven games on the schedule. Unfortunately, the pitching matchups are anything but beautiful.

This isn’t a problem. To try to win a big tournament, we have to be a little different from the field — and, of course, correct. When options appear to be less-than-ideal, it’s actually easier to differentiate.

The rough pitching landscape coupled with the seven-game set will allow us to attack this article differently than we would on a full slate. I will still keep most of the main section intact, but the focus will largely rest on game theory for Monday.

Monday's Starting Pitcher Strategy

I wrote the introduction as I did because starting pitching is both the obvious and troubling place to start for Monday. Almost no one is going to look at the selection and feel comfortable. The most likely decision? Start at the top. Except, those names include the likes of Anthony DeSclafani and Tyler Megill -- as far as both DraftKings and FanDuel being aligned are concerned. Tyler Megill. That's your headliner, according to DraftKings.
