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?

stevietpfl: I prefer single-entry and 3-entry-max contests on smaller slates like this. Pitching on this slate isn’t great. I’ll be mixing-and-matching Yusei Kikuchi, Ryan Pepiot, Joe Ryan, and Seth Lugo. As far as hitters, Coors is going to be popular, and I think both sides make a lot of sense. I’ll try not to play chalky secondary stacks with the Coors bats.

stlcardinals84: I will be playing large-field tournaments, and I might ened up going all-in on the Coors Field game. I just don’t trust two low-strikeout pitchers in that environment, and it feels like a slate where some people might try to overthink it. There’s plenty of value with other one-off bats to fit in Coors stacks, and I don’t mind Grant Holmes as a cheap pitching option to also help fit in the Coors stacks.

ncorfield8k: Large-field tournaments – There are a few pretty intriguing stacks even on a small slate (Phillies, Rays, Red Sox, Brewers, Rockies), so I’ll be mixing and matching those stacks. I’ll largely eat the chalk at pitcher, but I also like Seth Lugo at low pOWN%.

TJ Zwarych: I’ll be playing 20 lineups in semi-large contests (around 5,000 entries) and will be getting underweight on Coors Field. While I do still like Milwaukee and will play them some, I’ll be lower than the field. I will be getting overweight on both teams in the TOR/BOS game as well as both teams in the PHI/ATL game.
