Players/stacks you were not looking at before, but 15 minutes until lock you might want to consider:
- Clint Frazier- Another New York Yankee that I love today. Right-handed Yankees batters in Toronto against Trent Thornton…I’m telling you!
- Toronto batters one through four became more and more appealing as my research progressed. Stacking against chalky pitchers is always a go-to strategy of mine and tonight despite his pitch limit, James Paxton should be quite chalky.

If not Sale than who? First of all it’s whom. That’s what my English teacher would have said to me in High School. I still don’t know what it is, I digress. Regardless of if it’s who or whom, there’s one pitcher that caught my eye. German Marquez at a price of $9,000 on FanDuel, $10,300 on DraftKings is actually in an interesting spot against the Chicago Cubs tonight. Marquez owns a 2.08 road ERA and has allowed opposing batters to a mere .167 BA. Marquez has averaged 40 FanDuel points per game over his last three despite a horrific effort against Baltimore two starts back. Small under/over at 7.5, lets see if Marquez can get the QS and W as well.

Should I hedge against over exposure to Sale? Question of the day. Yes, you should. Everyone loves Sale, no secret. This could very well be a home run derby. Although unlikely, it could happen. I have minimal exposure to the guys that could take Sale deep which are: Soler, Cuthbert and Gutierrez. The best thing about MLB DFS is that you can invest in both sides of a game. Do so tonight, and you’re guaranteed to be in the green.

Trent Thornton is going to have a very tough time with these Yankee right–handed bats. Thornton owns a 6.23 ERA in six game starts at home. Out of the 10 total home runs Thornton has allowed this season, eight have been at home. Although Thornton has better splits against lefties, I don’t think he has the stuff to keep these very talented Yankee bats in the park. Voit, Sanchez, and Torres are all in play for me as well as Kendrys Morales. Toronto does have a solid bullpen so these Yankees need to get to Thornton early and I believe they will tonight. Lock in these power bats for New York, you won’t regret it.

Kendrys Morales ($2,500 FD & $2,800 DK): You have to consider Morales in the cleanup role. As I mentioned yesterday, the Rogers Centre is the perfect park for right-handed batters, not to mention this is a revenge game (in a sense) as Morales did spend some time in Toronto before they decided to send him to Oakland for Jesus Lopez and some cash. Morales should have a nice shot at some RBI tonight and maybe even a homer. The Yankees are favored at -185 with an 8.5 under/over.
Chris Sale ($11,500 FD & 10,600 DK): All indications are pointing towards a massive game from Sale tonight as he sets to face the struggling Kansas City Royals. The Royals have the trifecta of DFS stats needed to be confident in targeting them for poor offense. These statistical indicators are: Poor recent outings, bad BvP stats and solid recent form from your pitcher. Sale has maintained a .217 OBA against the Royals in 143 at-bats, striking out 32% of all batters! Our editor here at WinDailyDFS has been telling me to not overuse exclamation points, well one is needed here. A 32 % SO rate over that span is extremely impressive and facing them in their current form sets the stage for a slate breaking outing for Chris Sale. Pay up and do it with confidence. We’ll have some solid positional value to allow you to do so as the lineups come rolling in.
