Mike Clevinger FD 8400 DK 7800 Opponent - BAL (Miley) Park - @CLEFD - 31.04 DK - 20.61 In the main picks article, Chris gave you Scherzer, Corbin and Weaver, all excellent options in their own right and I'll have a ton of Mad Max in my cash games tonight, but if you want to look for some cheaper pivots with plenty of upside then you my friend are in the right place. We start out with Mike Clevinger of the Indians hosting the Orioles in Progressive Field. The Indians are riding a 15 game winning streak and Vegas sees no reason for that to end tonight against Wade Miley favoring Clevinger as a -151 favorite in the early returns. Clevinger is one of those pitchers that can be hard to pin down, sometimes he steps on the hill and delivers and other times he just gets hit around. Through his last five outings he has been a little more consistent striking out 9 batters twice and allowing a total of just six earned runs in that stretch. Clevinger has fared better from the right side of the plate this season limiting right handed bats to a .265 wOBA while compiling a 28.5 K% against them. He should cruise through the righty heavy Baltimore line up and has upside for days at his price point. Collin McHugh FD 8000 DK 8500 Opponent - OAK (Cotton) Park - @OAKFD - 31.45 DK - 20.78 If Clevinger feels just a little too risky for you then consider Collin McHugh against the Athletics. Houston is in Oakland this weekend and will send McHugh out for his ninth start of the season. In his injury shortened campaign, McHugh has been fairly consistent making it into the sixth inning in all but three starts while allowing more than 2 earned runs in just two. The 8.5 K/9 rate is consistent with his career numbers and the 7.5% HR/FB rate is a career best. He'll face a challenge traveling into Oakland Coliseum, one of the friendliest parks for hitters in the game and the wind...

We've got you completely covered. Cleveland Indians Admittedly, I'm riding the hot hands here today, rolling with two teams that just don't seem to know how to lose, but it goes a bit further than that in both cases, and for good measure I'll throw you a curveball at the end. Kicking things off though, we have the Cleveland Indians. The Indians have been on an absolute tear down the stretch, now winners of 15 straight. You have to travel back two weeks and through two double headers to find the last time Cleveland took an "L". It takes more than just a ridiculous win streak to be a stack worthy DFS team though, and the Tribe have what it takes. First off, the matchup is quite favorable. Baltimore comes to town for the weekend and bring left-hander Wade Miley along with them. Cleveland has been awesome against southpaws this season possessing a .341 team wOBA and a 109 wRC+ against them. Bringing his 4.91 ERA and 4.56 xFIP to the hill today, Miley stands out as a prime target for his 17.5 hr/fb% and 5.10 bb/9. I'll put the whole order, 1 through 9 in play but the keys to build around will be Jose Ramirez (.379 wOBA vs left handers) and Francisco Lindor (10 HR, .220 ISO vs Left handers). Top stacking options: Jose Ramirez, Francisco Lindor, Austin Jackson, Edwin Encarnacion Arizona Diamondbacks Another team getting hot at the right time is the Arizona Diamondbacks. The DBacks are currently riding a 13 game win streak, and will look to keep the streak alive after taking Thursday off to travel home to host the Padres for a weekend series. San Diego will trot Jordan Lyles out to the hill. Lyles has been primarily a bullpen arm for the past two seasons, and will make only his second start of the season tonight in Chase Field. Lyles holds a 22% HR/FB rate and has been atrocious against left handed hitting this season with a .424 wOBA against and a 42.5% hard contact rate. That is going to spell big trouble in the...

Daily Fantasy MLB Baseball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 9/2/17 Welcome friends. The unofficial last weekend of summer is upon us. The pennant chases are heating up for some teams while others are calling up young studs to get an idea what they have to work with next season. Today our cup runneth over with a jam packed 17(!!!) games of MLB action to satisfy your DFS needs. We've got double header action in Houston and San Diego and just to keep us on our toes pricing on DraftKings changes for players based on the slate. We've got aces galore sprinkled throughout the day, with plenty of the usual suspects in good spots at the plate, so what are we still doing up here? Let's move on down to the picks!!

Pitcher EARLY Corey Kluber FD 11300 DK 13200 Opponent - DET (Zimmermann) Park - @DETFD - 47.89 DK - 31.75 He's going to cost you, but for the implied safety it's worth it. On the early slate no one comes close to Corey Kluber who would have been in play regardless just based on what he has done so far this season, but now add in the fact that he is facing a Tigers team that has thrown up the white flag on the season, trading away the only real threat in their lineup. Kluber was rolling along since his return from the DL in early June, racking up the K's start after start, though he's cooled off some in August, recording double digit strikeouts just once in his last four starts. The Tigers are an average offense, striking out 21.4% of the time, with a .325 wOBA and 100 wRC+, and those numbers are with Upton in the lineup. The early rumblings from Vegas have the Indians as -301 favorites today, with those odds, and his propensity to stick around late into games, Kluber's all but guaranteed a win and is the top play in the six game early slate. Charlie Morton FD 8500 DK 9100 Opponent - NYM (Harvey) Park - @HOUFD - 36.15 DK - 23.72 If you're one of those "the price is just too high" types, and I don't fault you if you are, then look to Charlie Morton in game one of the double header...

We've got a full day of action with 11 games starting early and four late afternoon contests. We're going to start things off with Chris Archer in St. Louis for the interleague series wrap up with the Cardinals. Archer is a name we don't always consider when talking about the great arms of today's game, in an era with Kershaw, Sale, and Scherzer, he has the stuff to be one of the better pitcher's in the game, but struggles from time to time and it's reflected in his 3.76 ERA and .319 BABIP. What Archer does have that suits our purposes is elite K upside. His 11.33 K/9 is the fourth best in the game and the best going today by far. The Cardinals are a top ten team in terms of wOBA and strike out a league average 21.6% of the time. This game opened as a pick'em so there's no guarantee of a win, but looking down the list of pitchers there's not a whole lot to love from a safety standpoint, so I'll take the K upside all day with Archer. Dan Straily FD 7900 DK 8000 Opponent - SD (Richard) Park - @MIAFD - 32.68 DK - 21.6 At SP2 I'm looking to Dan Strailey whose matchup with the Padres has him as a mid tiered arm with solid point per dollar upside due to their propensity to strikeout 25.3% of the time, second only to the Brewers, and .300 team wOBA which is second worst only to the Giants. Strailey doesn't fill me with confidence, his ERA is higher than Archer's, but on any given day the Padres can make anyone look like Cy Young. As I said, there isn't a whole lot to love about pitching today, it definitely has the feel of a GPP only kind of day, but if you are looking for cash plays in the early going this is where I'm leaning. Yu Darvish FD 9800 DK 13300 Opponent - MIL (Nelson) Park - @LADFD - 40.02 DK - 26.34 In the late afternoon we...

We've got you completely covered. Pitcher Early Gio Gonzalez FD 9500 DK 12500 Opponent - NYM (Gsellman) Park - @WSHFD - 34.31 DK - 22.49 We kick things off with Gio Gonzalez, though somewhat reluctantly. Not so much on FanDuel, I'm fine with Gio carrying a sub 10K price tag over there, but the season high 12.5 on DraftKings is a hard pill to swallow. Given the slate though, it's all but unavoidable. We need two pitchers, and Gio is in the best position facing the Mets, who have the lowest implied run total on the early slate and who have struck out 24.6% of the time against lefties this season. While not an ideal pitching environment, Nationals Park is the second best option on the slate behind the Rogers Centre and we'll be heading there next but for SP1 on the early, I think we have to just ride with Gonzalez and hold on tight. Marco Estrada FD 7700 DK 6900 Opponent - MIN (Gee) Park - @TORFD - 29.76 DK - 19.78 Even with the price tag Gonzalez comes with, I think we can lock him in without sacrificing too much in the way of bats by balancing out our pitching with Marco Estrada. Estrada is an excellent value option across the industry, with solid K upside, his 9.1 K/9 is higher than even Gio's, and as I mentioned earlier, he is on the best hill for pitching in a slate overrun with hitters parks. Estrada is an excellent GPP pivot on FanDuel, and also leaves $3,825 per batter on DraftKings when paired with Gonzalez, which isn't a ton but definitely gives us some wiggle room. Main Mike Clevinger FD 8200 DK 6700 Opponent - KC (Hammel) Park - @CLEFD - 27.76 DK - 18.42 On the main slate, we're going to look at a couple of pitchers that are ranked quite similarly in the system. Madison Bumgarner edges out Mike Clevinger in projected points, but I'm leading off with Clevinger because he comes at a substantial discount which gives him the points per dollar edge. Clevinger also has a higher K/9 than MadBum and is a bigger favorite in his matchup with the Royals at Progressive Field, a team with a .316 wOBA that...
