Happy Monday! We start the week off with a nice 9-game MLB DFS Main Slate on Fanduel. Unlike the weekend slates full of stud pitching, tonight can get ugly quickly. On slates like these, I think it’s best to focus in on one or two pitchers and really narrow down your player pool. It’s a nice night to take a stand and it’s also a Coors Field night…
In regards to weather, it looks like a relatively quiet night outside of the White Sox @ Tigers game (I won’t roster a pitcher from that game due to rain delay concerns unless things change before lock). Let’s get to it on FanDuel tonight.
On FanDuel, I think it’s quite important to ensure you roster an arm that has short odds in Vegas to get the win and someone that is likely to go 6+ innings to get those Quality Start bonuses FanDuel applies. Here are the pitchers that fit that mold tonight:
All in all, I don’t think it’s necessary to pay up for Patrick Corbin tonight (especially in cash games). We all know we want to get some exposure to Coors Field tonight and it will be very difficult to do so if you roster Corbin. Having said that, I do like Corbin a lot for GPP’s for that very same reason.
Well, it’s a Coors Field night… so the offense is pretty easy. Stack the chalky Rockies and Diamondbacks. You know who the studs are that you want to play, but you can also find some value with guys like Elias Diaz ($2,500), Jake Lamb ($2,500), Stephen Vogt ($2,500), Matt Kemp ($3,300), Kole Calhoun ($3,300), and Garrett Hampson ($3,000).
If you’re looking for some other stacks, I’m a big fan of getting some exposure to both the Chicago White Sox (5.0 implied run total) and the Los Angeles Dodgers at home with a 5.05 implied run total. Both offenses should be rather low-owned tonight and offer a nice pivot off of Coors Field.
As lineups start to post for the night, I’ll update this article with some of my top value plays, but for the most part, I’m all about Coors Field tonight.

Hopefully, you all were on the Discord last night to catch all of our discussions that lead to a very nice night of cashing! Let’s run it back today. The August 6th edition of Aces and Bases will take on the main MLB DFS slates on DraftKings and FanDuel.
The purpose of this article is to identify our top pitching plays and fades on the slate, in addition to our top offense stacks for your GPP lineups.
Please make sure you keep an eye on the weather and other factors as those are always important things to monitor when playing MLB DFS. Be sure to check out our MLB DFS Projections as well. Without further ado, it’s Aces and Bases time.
Chatwood is on an a absolute heater right now, his cutter is just what he needed as he can now keep batters off balance in and out of the zone. Chatwood cut down 11 Pirates on his way to 6.1 scoreless innings last time out and is on the mound today against a Royals team that loves to strike out
There is no real value on FanDuel sadly as Chatwood is the top pitcher off the board and the slate is only 5 games. I would roll with the rookie Nate Pearson if you want another option on FD, but I dont love him as much on DK as the options with the two additional games really opens things up.
Honorable Mentions: Not much here today.
Castillo got beat up a bit last time out against the Tigers of all teams. I am ready brush that off though as he produced a massive 22 whiffs through the outing. The usually great changeup was left in the zone in a bit and got knocked around letting in 5 runs.
Castillo should have a good bounce back week facing off against a Cleveland team that has one of the worst barrel rates in the league coming in at 3.8% right now.
On the other end of this game Carrasco will look to continue his good season. Cookie was able to handle the Twins in his last start, only allowing 3 runs and striking out 5. I’m going to to trust the veteran who has started the season with 31% k rate.
Gallen had a bit of a rocky start to the year but it really looks like he found it and the stuff is there. Gallen made the Dodgers look pedestrian producing lots of whiffs to go along with his 9ks. Sadly Gallen draws another powerhouse offense today in the Stros but this looks like the beginning of the outbreak many predicted for Gallen.
Honorable Mention: Nada
Montgomery is coming in a bit faster on the heater this year at about 93mph or so. Extra velocity never hurts and it seems to be helping his curveball and change this year. The movement is minimal on the secondaries for Montgomery but he has shown the ability to make the arsenal work so far.
Honorable Mentions: Jordan Yamamoto / Nate Pearson
This is a very short slate, even shorter on FD, and I would not feel comfortable rolling out anyone that wasnt mentioned above.
Honorable Mention: Zilch.
There are a ton of different ways to build your offense on these big slates. Personally, I’m going to take a stand on a few offenses and call it a day. If you’re play MME style of GPPs, you can always get some exposure to more offenses, but for 3-Entry Max and Single Entry GPPs, I’m going to battle with a very limited player pool, as I really want to pick on a couple of starting pitchers and weaker bullpens.
We all know the importance of stacking when play MLB DFS GPPs, so here are my top stacks for the Thursday’s Main Slate.
Using the information above, you can even make some money on Monkey Knife Fight! As I said I like the Cubs stack here and you can stack 3 of their offensive players to hit the over on 15.5 fantasy points and win 5x your money! Check out how to play with our quick overview here.
