MLB – On the Hill – Friday (August 17)

After almost a two-week vacation that included taking in ball games at Nationals Park and Camden Yards, I’m back to provide my On the Hill recommendations for Friday’s 14-game DFS slate. Friday’s slate offers a solid group of pitching options in the high and mid-price range but not much on the low end. So, while my top stack will cost some serious coin, I’ll try to offer some salary savings with my other two stacking options.

MLB – On the Hill – Friday (August 3)

Today will be my last On the Hill column for a couple weeks as I will embark on a family vacation which will include visits to Nationals Park and Camden Yards. The Friday 14-game MLB DFS slate is packed full of quality options on both the pitching and hitting side which should help keep ownership percentages spread out in those GPP tournaments. Hopefully, I can start my vacation with a big DFS night! Enjoy the article and I’ll be back in a couple weeks.

BONUS: Super deep stack for tonight could be the Angels top four hitters which my model seems to like a lot (assuming Trout plays).

MLB – On the Hill – Thursday (August 2)

On the night of the first NFL preseason action, there is a still a solid nine-game slate on Thursday night in the MLB with some marquee pitchers to choose from along with some solid value arms. On the hitting side, there are a few stacks that are of interest but there is one stack in particular that I will be all over.

MLB – On the Hill – Wednesday (August 1)

Wednesday’s pitcher and stack recommendations will zero in on the six-game night slate of MLB action. The night slate is void of marquee, high-priced pitchers or elite hitting environments but for some reason, I feel like I have a good read on the slate which includes using one of the newly traded pitchers and picking on the other one. Find out which one to use and target bats against in today’s “On the Hill”.

MLB – On the Hill – Tuesday (July 31)

We have a big 14-game Tuesday night slate of MLB excitement. Be sure to keep a close eye on any trade deadline deals as it could shake up lineups for tonight. As of now, the slate looks like one deploy a balanced lineup by saving a little salary on the mound and getting some maybe less obvious stacks which could make it a good night to load up on GPPs instead of Cash games.
