As FanDuel's Tuesday slate approaches, excitement builds around 12 games set to kick off at 7:05 p.m. EDT. The slate features pitching options, with only two hurlers priced above $10,000 while five more are above $9,000. With the Astros facing the Athletics in a matchup with a staggering 11.5 run total, the potential for offensive fireworks is palpable. Meanwhile, the Yankees and Dodgers are the day's biggest favorites at -260 and -215 respectively, creating favorable environments for star players.

Pitchers like David Peterson from the Mets, priced at $9,700, are emerging as intriguing options, especially against the Atlanta lineup that struggles against lefties. Despite some concerns regarding Peterson's pitch count following a complete game, his recent performance includes six quality starts in seven attempts. On the other hand, Will Warren from the Yankees at $8,200 is riding a high strikeout rate that could yield dividends against the Angels' struggling offense.

Batters to watch include Shohei Ohtani, who faces San Diego's Randy Vasquez, a pitcher who has struggled against left-handed hitters. Ohtani's $4,800 price tag is competitive for a player of his caliber, while Fernando Tatis Jr. is also a hot target as he boasts ten hits in four games. As players finalize their lineups, strategic stacking, particularly with Houston and Milwaukee, may prove essential in maximizing scoring opportunities on this promising slate.
