If you are into slates that are filled with aces on the mound, then this is your slate. The slate tonight features 10 games with many prominent pitchers such as Ohtani, Buehler, Wheeler, Ray, and Woodruff, with there also being interesting value plays such as Edward Cabrera in his MLB debut. Aside from Ohtani, the aces have some difficult matchups, so pitcher ownership should be relatively spread out. In games without those pitchers, there are some intriguing stacks to consider. Let's dive in!
