Happy Fourth Of July everybody!! Yes, it is true that while you all are grilling, swimming, eating, drinking, relaxing and watching baseball I am in the lab trying to create the best possible DFS lineups for ya'll tonight. Yeah I know...smallest violin in the world, right?
Tonight we are blessed with not one but threeof the best starting pitchers in MLB at our disposal in Clayton Kershaw, Chris Sale & Yu Darvish. Obviously you want to get as many of these into your lineups as possible but it will cost ya. So, on sites like DraftKings & DraftStreet where you start multiple pitchers you could package one or two of the above names with a Dall Deuchel (on DraftKings especially) or Matt Cain (on Fanduel).
I get the feeling this is going to be a low scoring night overall so it is important to maximize the hitters you select. Don't chase one dimensional power or speed tonight unless incredibly cheap. My favorite stacks tonight are the Dodgers, Rangers and White Sox in that order.
