Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks: Starting pitcher rankings, strategy for April 26

Our daily fantasy baseball picks continue with starting pitcher rankings and advice for Tuesday's MLB slate.

If you thought Monday's pitcher slate was loaded, wait until you see the aces on the mound Tuesday. Clayton Kershaw, David Price, Max Scherzer, Chris Sale and Dallas Keuchel are all on the hill, just to name a few. To make it even better, Kershaw (vs. MIA), Price (at ATL) and Scherzer (vs. PHI) all have dream matchups.

I'd base pitcher decisions today on the ace(s) you can afford after setting your offense. Don't get too cute with your pitcher; you may miss out on huge stats if you don't get an ace and you'll be playing catch-up all night. 

With that in mind, let's take a look at Tuesday's starting pitcher rankings and picks. As usual, we'll also have daily fantasy baseball hitter picks and the DFS Playbook from Fantasy Alarm to help you find the best values on FanDuel and DraftKings. Good luck!

Splurge: Any ace. Kind of like Monday night was the time to seek out value on the mound, this is the time to pay up for an ace. You can't bet against every one of these guys, especially in cash games. 

Sell: Gerrit Cole, Pirates at Rockies. Tonight's not the time to try and be sneaky with Cole on FanDuel (($9,000) in Colorado. That said, he's a lot more enticing on DK ($7,200) if you're feeling lucky.

Save: Johnny Cueto, Giants vs. Padres. As far as aces go, Cueto ($9,300 on FD; $10,700 on DK) comes at a slight discount on FanDuel and also has a great matchup. If you really want to save and be different in a GPP, though, Kyle Hendricks ($7,300 on FD; $8,600 on DK) is worth a look in a very winnable matchup.
