Tuesday brings a monster 15-game MLB DFS slate (if the weather holds -- see below), and as you might expect, there is no shortage of solid names and intriguing matchups in today's SP rankings. What's interesting is that there seems to be more pitcher/neutral parks tonight. Miller Park, Globe Life Park, Citizens Bank Park, and Chase Field are all in play, but other hitter favorites like Coors Field, Camden Yards, Yankee Stadium, Great American Ball Park, and Progressive Field are all getting a break from action. There are also only a handful of lefties on the mound tonight, which always make for fewer favorable splits. With all that said, even on a 15-game slate, hitter sleepers might be tougher to find in DraftKings and FanDuel contests. (Update: Orioles-White Sox and Rays-Royals have been postponed.)
Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean you should go cheap with your pitchers. Trevor Bauer (@ Marlins), Walker Buehler (@ Giants), Blake Snell (@ Royals), and Luis Castillo (@ Mets) are all in great spots, and you'll probably want at least one in your DK lineup. It's likely that Vince Velasquez (vs. Tigers) and Chris Paddack (@ Braves) will be popular choices thanks to their slightly lower prices and high strikeout upsides, though Velasquez is always a risk if his improved control falters. Zigging away from Paddack and going with his opponent, Julio Teheran (vs. Padres), could be a smart play, as he has a better shot at a win and is cheaper, especially on DK.

German Marquez (@ Brewers) is always a popular target when he's away from Colorado, but a matchup with the Brewers doesn't look that inviting (and it would be nice if he was a bit cheaper). If you're really bold, rookie Griffin Canning (vs. Blue Jays) is making his MLB debut after a dominant showing in Triple-A this year (0.56 ERA, 9.6 K/9). He's not a bad tournament flier, especially on FD where he's only $6,100.
The top fade of the night, at least based on matchup, is Cole Hamels (@ Mariners). Seattle might be cooling down after its hot start, but it's still the top-hitting team against lefties. Jordan Lyles (@ Rangers) has had a nice start to the year, but he's facing the top-hitting team against righties in a notorious hitters park, so consider him a GPP-only play.
Weather-wise, Astros-Twins (53 percent chance of rain), Pirates-Rangers (45), Orioles-White Sox (83), and Rays-Royals (75) could be in some trouble, so make sure to check the Fantasy Alarm Weather Center closer to lineup lock.

wRC+ is defined by Fangraphs as "[measuring] how a player’s wRC compares with league average after controlling for park effects. League average for position players is 100, and every point above 100 is a percentage point above league average. For example, a 125 wRC+ means a player created 25% more runs than a league average hitter would have in the same number of plate appearances. Similarly, every point below 100 is a percentage point below league average, so a 80 wRC+ means a player created 20% fewer runs than league average." For more on the stat, click here.
