New York Yankees:
The Yankees should be chalky today considering they are facing Jamie Garcia who allowed a .338 wOBA to right handed hitters last year. This obviously puts in play Giancarlo Stanton , Aaron Judge , and Gary Sánchez . Also what will make the Yankees chalky is Aaron Hicks leading off at 3.4k on DK. This will create the catalyst and salary relief many DFS’ers are looking for to start their stack off at a reasonable price. Don’t be afraid to find value up and down this lineup. Stanton, Sanchez, and Tyler Austin are all in sequence with one another as well.

Hopefully they can redeem themselves after last night’s traumatic let down. The obvious plays here are going to be Ian Happ and Anthony Rizzo . Wilson Contreras seems like he will be in the cleanup spot so that should make for a nice play followed by Kyle Schwarber . Aside from those players you might be paying a premium for guys like Javier Báez and Addison Russel that does not provide a lot of value on this slate. On the other hand Colorado gets José Quintana who has had his struggles to begin the year. I do not see this being his “breakout game” at Coors. That means Nolan Arenado who averaged 3.25 points per at bat (2nd in MLB) last year should be on your radar. This could be a good game to stack.
Value Stack:
Tampa Bay Rays
TB is very interesting today. Any time you can get Denard Span leading off against a RHP, there is a lot of room for value. Stacking TB today is also a cheap way to fit any other expensive stacks into your lineup. Brad Miller is of particular interest facing a weak RHP, Phil Hughes whose best days are behind him. C.J. Cron , should also be a decent play and you will get him at low ownership being he is facing a RHP. As seen last night, this might be the start of a breakout year for him. I would not recommend going too much further down that batting order unless you are in some deep GPP’s.
