The Astros continue their series against the Royals and will look to exploit a favorable matchup against Jason Hammel. Meanwhile, the Yankees and Red Sox also meet in an intriguing matchup which features two pitchers who both can either shut down the opposing offense or get touched up on any given night. Finally, the Braves and Phillies meet in what may be a sneaky game to exploit, as both teams are throwing out below-average pitchers...

The best splits-based stacks in the early games are the Mariners and Red Sox, while the Mets, Marlins, Cubs, Padres, Reds, and D-backs look good in the evening games. You can also use plenty of players facing (mediocre) neutral righties, such as Pirates against Albert Suarez, Phillies against Ricky Nolasco, and Tigers against Adrian Sampson.

Even though Jacob deGrom is the only “ace” on the board, you can find quite a few high-quality pitchers. In fact, more than half of the guys in our pitcher rankings are in play. Many have high-K upside, including Jon Gray, who’s often undervalued when he’s pitching away from Coors Field. Bad matchups potentially limit guys like Jose Berrios, Drew Pomeranz, and Sonny Gray, but their respective strikeout abilities still give them value in GPPs....

Head-to-head matchups could cause some trouble today, as talented, evenly matched pitchers, like Lester and Johnny Cueto, Ervin Santana and Dylan Bundy, and Alex Cobb and Matt Shoemaker will face each other. Check those Vegas odds before finalizing your picks.

Pitching isn’t exactly overflowing today, as we’re still at the early-season point where a lot of teams are in the same spot in their rotations. Overall, hitters have the advantage today, which is evident if you look at just how many favorable splits and stacking opportunities there are. Watch out for weather-related issues tonight. Cincinnati (vs. Colorado), Texas (vs. Houston), Chicago White Sox (vs. Angels), and St. Louis (vs. Cubs) all could see rain, which would obviously take a lot of high-upside options out of play....

We also love Rajon Rondo because the Lakers give up the most fantasy points to PGs. Plus, he’s averaging 40 fantasy points in three games against the Lakers this season. Let’s take a look at more of the best daily fantasy basketball picks for tonight. MORE FANTASY: 2016 baseball rankings | Play FanDuel!

Point guard is generally regarded as the deepest position in the NBA, but it’s worth paying up for at least one of the elite options (Kyle Lowry, John Wall) and pairing them with a value guy like the surging D’Angelo Russell. Power forward is the spot to take your safe points and spend a little money, but there are good value options at the other positions.
