DraftKings and FanDuel MLB Picks for Wednesday, 9/7/22 This is the last day when baseball won't have to compete with football. That's an uphill battle for MLB, but us baseball grinders will keep going at it. This is actually one of the best times to play because we finally understand where motivations lie with these teams. Many clubs are battling for playoff positions while others are playing out the final month, just waiting for their Cancun trips. We have two pitchers facing two of those teams, so let's start there!

Pitchers Jacob deGrom FD - P 12000 DK - SP 11000 Opponent - PIT (Bryse Wilson) Park - PIT FD - 39.39 DK - 23.12 Anyone who doesn't think deGrom is the best pitcher in baseball has clearly never watched this dude pitch. The former Cy Young winner finished last year with a 1.08 ERA and 0.55 WHIP across 92 innings, backing It up this year with a 1.98 ERA and 0.55 WHIP. The K rate is equally as impressive, posting a 13.6 K/9 rate this year and a 14.3 K/9 rate last year. That's made him the most consistent player in the sport, scoring at least 30 FanDuel points in 30 of his last 31 starts over the last three years. Fading him against Pittsburgh is a bad idea, with the Pirates ranked bottom-three in runs scored, OBP, OPS, wOBA, and K rate. That will likely have him entering this matchup as a -300 favorite, if not higher! Spencer Strider FD - P 10200 DK - RP 8900 Opponent - OAK (Ken Waldichuk) Park - OAK FD - 48.39 DK - 26.99 It's wild that we have these two pitchers in such brilliant spots. Just like the Pirates, the A's rank bottom-three in runs scored, OBP, OPS, wOBA, and xwOBA. That would make any pitcher intriguing against this club, but Strider has been one of the best pitchers in baseball. The NL Rookie of the Year favorite has a 2.67 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and 13.7 K/9 rate. That strikeout rate is the best mark among any starter in baseball, with Spencer sporting a 0.90 ERA, 0.70 WHIP, and 14.4 K/9 rate across his last three starts. The oddsmakers believe he's an outstanding play, too, making Atlanta a -280 favorite, with Oakland projected for just three runs. Patrick Sandoval (FD $9700 DK $8600) faces the lowest-scoring team in baseball, picking up a season-high 64 FanDuel points against them two...

DraftKings and FanDuel MLB Picks for Sunday, 9/4/22 Today marks the one month until the final day of the regular season! It's crazy that we're in September already, and this will be the final Sunday MLB article without football interfering. That means that the prize pools are about to plummet from here on out, but we're still going to provide quality content. It's actually a great time to play DFS because there are so many amateur football players who try their hand in MLB. Doing that at the end of the season is silly, but humans are known to be fickle creatures. With that in mind, let's kick off this Sunday card with some arms!

START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Pitchers Max Fried FD - P 10300 DK - SP 10500 Opponent - MIA (Pablo López) Park - ATL FD - 47.16 DK - 26.05 The Braves have been one of the best teams in the NL since the opening month, and this ace is a major reason why. The left-hander has a 2.56 ERA and 1.04 WHIP this season, allowing three runs or fewer in 22 of his 25 starts. That's led to Max scoring at least 29 FanDuel points in 19 of those, one of the highest floors of any player in baseball. That 30-point floor should be easy to reach against the Marlins, with Miami ranked bottom-four in runs scored, OBP, OPS, and xwOBA. In his matchup with Miami earlier this season, Fried scored 40 FanDuel points! The oddsmakers see that happening again, with Max entering this matchup as a -280 favorite. George Kirby FD - P 9200 DK - SP 9900 Opponent - CLE (Cal Quantrill) Park - CLE FD - 36.18 DK - 19.43 It's strange that Kirby remains below $10,000 on both sites. This rookie has been one of the best pitchers this month, maintaining a 2.11 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 10.6 K/9 rate across his last seven starts. His elite control is what's made him so scary, picking up 107 strikeouts to just 14 walks. Cleveland can be a tough matchup at times, but this offense looks lost right now. Not only do they rank 26th in xwOBA for the season, but they also have just one run in their last four fixtures. That's a nightmarish stretch, making Kirby one of the best bets for a quality start on this slate. Matt Manning (FD $8500 DK $7300) had a 2.37 ERA and 1.11 WHIP before a rare...

DraftKings and FanDuel MLB Picks for Wednesday, 8/31/22 It's the final day of August, and it means we're down to the stretch run. Only one month of baseball remains, and each game gets more important than the last. Some of the division races are heating up, and it'll be fun to watch these clubs compete for the final 35 days. With that in mind, let's get started with a former Cy Young winner! Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our MLB, NBA, PGA, NHL, and NFL optimizers and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Pitchers Gerrit Cole FD - P 11100 DK - SP 10800 Opponent - LAA (Patrick Sandoval) Park - LAA FD - 42.14 DK - 23.87 Many people have talked about the demise of Cole, but that's a silly notion. This is still one of the best pitchers in baseball, providing a 3.31 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and 11.7 K/9 rate. His recent form is even more absurd, accruing a 2.05 ERA and 0.87 WHIP across his last four starts. That form should be easy to continue against this awful Angels offense, with Los Angeles sitting 26th in OBP and dead-last in K rate. He showed how wretched they were last season when Cole compiled a 1.42 ERA, 0.55 WHIP, and 17.1 K/9 rate in their two matchups! That has him entering this matchup as a -210 favorite, with LA projected for just three runs. Freddy Peralta FD - P 8600 DK - SP 8200 Opponent - PIT (Undecided) Park - MIL FD - 34.04 DK - 18.46 It's strange to see Peralta this cheap. This dude has been an ace since his call-up, collecting a 3.08 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 27 percent K rate since the start of last season. That's usually what you see from many of the $10K players, making the pricing tough to understand. What makes it even more mind-boggling is his recent form, registering a 2.55 ERA and 0.89 WHIP across his last five starts. The matchup with Pittsburgh is the best part of this, though, with the Pirates ranked bottom-three in runs scored, OBP, OPS, wOBA, and K rate. Not to mention, he enters this matchup as a -250 favorite, scoring at least 43 FanDuel points in three of their last four matchups. Triston McKenzie (FD $10300 DK $10200) has a WHIP sitting around 1.00 and should have no problem holding down a 24th-ranked Orioles offense. Catcher/First Base Paul Goldschmidt FD - 1B 4700 DK - 1B 6300 Opponent - CIN (Mike Minor) Park - CIN FD - 16.49 DK - 12.5...

DraftKings and FanDuel MLB Picks for Sunday, 8/28/22 We're getting down to the final few weeks of the fantasy baseball regular season, and it has me more zoned in more than ever. I have more season-long teams than I'd like to admit, but it forces me to pay more attention than the average person. We're just hoping that can be beneficial for you guys because season-long fantasy and DFS have a ton of correlation. The pitching pool on this particular slate is amazing, so let's kick things off with the best pitcher of this generation. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our MLB, NBA, PGA, NHL, and NFL optimizers and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Pitchers Justin Verlander FD - P 11400 DK - SP 11000 Opponent - BAL (Austin Voth) Park - HOU FD - 45.69 DK - 25.67 Verlander is the heavy favorite for AL Cy Young, and it's crazy to see him have such a massive season after Tommy John surgery. The future Hall-of-Famer has a 1.87 ERA and 0.85 WHIP this season, en route to a 15-3 record. That makes him one of the best options in fantasy, entering this matchup as a -275 favorite in a game with a seven-run total. That means Baltimore is projected for less than three runs! That's easy to understand when looking at this matchup, with the Orioles ranked 25th in OBP, 21st in OPS, and 20th in wOBA. Not to mention, JV has at least nine Ks in each of his last five meetings with the O's dating back to 2017. Dylan Cease FD - P 10600 DK - SP 10600 Opponent - ARI (Zach Davies) Park - CHW FD - 41.69 DK - 23.29 Cease is quietly having a monster season for an underperforming White Sox team, leading all starters in K rate. That makes him an elite option in DFS, but his recent form is absurd. Over his last 16 starts, Cease has compiled a 1.27 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 10.8 K/9 rate. He's actually scored at least 29 FanDuel points in all but two of those, and that threshold should be easy to reach in this matchup. The Diamondbacks rank 22nd in OBP, 20th in OPS, and 21st in xwOBA. All of that has Cease and the Sox entering this matchup as a -180 favorite, with Arizona projected for just 3.5 runs. Max Scherzer (FD $11000 DK $11400) is a -350 favorite against the Rockies and is one of the safest plays if you're willing to pay up. Catcher/First Base Vladimir Guerrero Jr. FD -...

DraftKings and FanDuel MLB Picks for Wednesday, 8/24/22 Time is flying by right now! I can't believe it's August 24, but that means we're in crunch time of the MLB season. We have a little over a month remaining, and it'll be fun to watch these teams battle for the final 40-plus days. We have another full Wednesday card to discuss and almost every team in action, so let's go ahead and get started with the pitching!

START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Pitchers Shane McClanahan FD - P 11200 DK - SP 10900 Opponent - LAA (Mike Mayers) Park - TB FD - 38.49 DK - 21.16 McClanahan is a top-notch play against anyone, but he's impossible to fade against the Angels. Let's start there, with Los Angeles owning the worst K rate in baseball. They're also bottom-10 in every offensive category outside of that, and they have the worst lineup outside of Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani. That's bad news against an ace like Mac, maintaining a 2.29 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, and 11.9 K/9 rate this season. That's led to him scoring at least 29 FanDuel points in all but two games, dropping 58 fantasy points on this atrocious offense earlier in the season. All of that has him entering this matchup as a -280 favorite in a game with a seven-run total. George Kirby FD - P 9000 DK - SP 9000 Opponent - WSH (Aníbal Sánchez) Park - SEA FD - 41.54 DK - 22.3 Kirby has been a revelation in Seattle, and he'd be known as one of the best pitchers if he didn't have one disastrous start against the Orioles. Outside of that seven-run drubbing, Kirby has compiled a 2.91 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 9.4 K/9 rate across his other 16 starts. That's all you can ask for from a $9K player, especially since he has a 2.63 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 10.5 K/9 rate across his last seven starts. Getting to face Washington is the best part of this, though, posting the worst lineup in baseball since trading Juan Soto and Josh Bell. That has Kirby entering this matchup as a -300 favorite, with the Nats projected for just three runs. Cole Irvin (FD $8600/DK $7200) has a 3.33 ERA and 1.06 WHIP this year and faces one of the worst offenses in baseball without their best player. The Marlins are only projected for 3.5 runs in that game! Catcher/First Base C.J. Cron FD - 1B 3900 DK...
