What is your preferred tournament format (e.g. large-field, single-entry) to play on this slate? How do you plan to beat that field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?
stlcardinals84: As usual, I will play around 20 entries in the large-field tournaments. I plan to use a narrow pitching pool. I will only have two of the top-end pitchers (Garrett Crochet and Jacob deGrom), and I will be overweight on Edward Cabrera as a value arm. Using a smaller pool of pitchers will allow me to spread out my stack exposure, as I have less conviction on the offensive side of the ledger.
Krayton: I will be playing single-entry and 20-entry max contests. I will have a very narrow pitching pool, with Garrett Crochet and Jacob deGrom at the top. Tanner Bibee and Edward Cabrera are a couple of the value options I like. I will be once again taking an underweight stance on the Royals even though they are cheap and project very well. As a team, they just aren’t hitting for power, with a team ISO of just .107.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll be playing 150 lineups in large-field contests, and I plan to keep a very tight pitching pool. Garrett Crochet is my top choice when I can get there, but I really like Shota Imanaga for tournaments, and I’ll even take some cheap shots on Taj Bradley, Edward Cabrera, and Will Warren.
Who is your favorite pitcher (when considering price, matchup, projected ownership, etc.) on the board and why?

About the Author
Robert Brown (aka Epignosis) was having lunch at a sports bar. A football game was on. He remarked to his wife that if he could have a second life, he’d like to be someone who enjoyed watching sports. That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS. When not teaching American literature, editing content for RotoGrinders (which he has done since 2019), or making lineups, Epignosis is rocking out or jazzing it up on one of several possible instruments.
