URGENT NOTE: I will only be providing cash game lineups today, but they will include both the early slate and the late slate. I'm not going to lie folks, I spent my usual 5+ hours (about 6-to-7 hours tonight) doing research for today's slate, and I am completely spent. This will be my 7th day in a row providing DFS content, and when you mix in helping the in-laws move out of their house throughout the weak, I don't have it in me to do the extra GPP lineups. I do promise you that I will still be giving 100 percent of my effort to these cash lineups. I play all my lineups and I spend my own money to do so. It wouldn't be wise of me to do anything other than give 100 percent of my effort to the lineups.

  • Favorite GPP Stacks (EARLY): 
    • Marlins: ANY, but preferably anything that includes Ozuna.
    • Blue Jays: ANY, should be chalk, especially on DraftKings. Should include EE and Tulo.
    • Royals: Any 1-5 but should include either Morales or Hosmer (your choice, but Morales is safer)
  • Favorite GPP Stacks (LATE): 
    • Cubs: Any 1-6, should include Zobrist/Heyward
    • Pirates: Something that connects McCutchen and Rodriguez
    • Padres: Any 1-6, should include Myers/Solarte and maybe even Jankowski if he starts.
    • Angels/Red Sox: Pretty chalky on both ends, but I prefer the Angels side because they'll have slightly less. Include Nava for lower owned narrative play.
    • Orioles: Machado/Davis mini-stack.
  • Look at my DFS MLB Rankings for more options or go to www.fantasyalarm.com/mlb/lineups/ to view confirmed starters.

UPDATE #1 (12:35 PM ET): FantasyAces Cash 

OUT: Matt Carpenter (2B/SS-STL), Troy Tulowitzki (2B/SS-TOR), Mike Napoli (1B/3B-CLE), Marcell Ozuna (OF-MIA), Prince Fielder (UTIL-TEX)

IN: Devon Travis (2B/SS-TOR), Tim Anderson (2B/SS-CHW), Martin Prado (1B/3B-MIA), Ian Desmond (OF-TEX), Edwin Encarnacion (UTIL-TOR)

Getting Carpener out because he's not in the starting lineup, but besides that, it doesn't look like that game is playing due to weather. Pretty big overhaul, but I don't like that Tulo is batting 7th, and especially so on Aces where he isn't as good of a value. I am also not liking Ozuna as much because of the Lucas Harrell matchup rather than Manny Banuelos. Found this opportunity to upgrade to Desmond (who I really like against Duffey) and Encarnacion.

UPDATE #2 (12:45 PM ET): FanDuel Cash

OUT: Aaron Hill (3B-MIL), Marcell Ozuna (OF-MIA)

IN: Jose Ramirez (3B-CLE), Cameron Maybin (OF-DET)

Again, doesn't look like the MIL/STL is going to play because of rain, but Hill is out of the lineup regardless. Don't like Ozuna as much against Harrell, and on top of that, the MIA OF is always a question mark because they've been trying their best to get Ichiro into the lineup. I love Maybin today and he allows us to get Ramirez in at 3B.
