We have a normal sized 9 game slate for tonight's MLB Fanduel contest, but it feels like a larger slate with the excellent pitching options and intriguing stack opportunities. Included amongst those pitcher options are three of the best dealers on the mound this year in Corbin Burnes, Zack Wheeler, and Robbie Ray. There are some cheaper candidates in good situations at pitcher if you wish to spend up on the top stack options as well. Let's dive in!
