The All-Star break officially ended Thursday with a game between the Cubs and Cardinals, but Friday brings the second half’s first full slate of action. The aces who pitched in the All-Star Game won’t be on the mound Friday, but Stephen Strasburg, Noah Syndergaard and Trevor Bauer are all scheduled to start. There are some great stacking opportunities, as well, with several teams throwing out their backend starters. Consider using the picks below and plugging them into our MLB Lineup Optimizer to help fill out the rest of your lineup.
Trevor Bauer, at Rangers (FD: $12,200, DK: $13,600)
Bauer made the AL All-Star squad, but did not appear in the game because he last pitched Sunday.
