Million Dollar Musings: Tuesday, July 31st

Is your lineup Premium Approved? In this space, either CheeseIsGood or STLCardinals84 will break down the slate from top-to-bottom like no one else in the industry can – exploring the matchups from every angle, steering you toward the best plays on the day, and helping you become a better and more complete DFS player as you continually expose yourself to the “process” and the “why,” rather than just looking at the “what.” Have a boat? We’ll teach you how to fish.

Tuesday, July 31st

We’ve got a well balanced 14-game slate tonight. There is one high end ace, with a couple options in all other pricing tiers at pitcher. With the bats, everything looks pretty spread out as well, with only one game starting with a total above nine runs, and mostly respectable pitchers. There are a few borderline gas cans to pick on, but for the most part, ownership should be well spread out with the hitting tonight.

TUESDAY NIGHT PITCHING

THE ACE

Trevor Bauer at Twins – Bauer is showing no signs of slowing down and remains in a class of his own on this slate. He rebounded from his one bad start with yet another 10-K game, allowing just two hits in seven innings against Pittsburgh. He has 7+ strikeouts in 12 straight starts including seven double-digit strikeout games, and has reached seven innings in eight of those outings. There is just not much left to say here.
