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’m going to focus on single-entry contests. I’ll play Coors with the Blue Jays and be different with my pitchers. I think Garrett Crochet is a great option, and I want to play him on FD and DK. I will be different with Jack Kochanowicz. Typically, when I’m on something like this, I tend to play smaller-field, single-entry contests. It’s the stand I’m taking on this smaller slate.

stlcardinals84: As usual, I will play around 20 entries into the larger-field tournaments. My plan is to go underweight on Coors Field bats and focus on other stacks with upside. I really like the Angels, as they are cheap, they get a great park upgrade, and they are easily fittable along with top-tier pitching.

ncorfield8k: Large-field tournaments – I’ll continue to heavily target bats at Sutter Health Park (A’s and Angels) and Coors Field (Rockies and Phillies). I’ll also play a good amount of Red Sox lefties. I’ll eat some of the chalk at pitcher.

TJ Zwarych: I’ll be playing 150 lineups in large-field GPPs, and I’ll be keeping a really tight pitching pool while spreading out my stacks. I want to make sure I have exposure to the Athletics, Dodgers, Phillies, Angels, and Blue Jays, to name a few, so I’ll pare down my pitchers so I’m playing large amounts of Garrett Crochet, Tylor Megill, Jack Kochanowicz, and JP Sears.

Who is your favorite pitcher (when considering price, matchup, projected ownership, etc.) on the board and why?
