Everyone knows that using Coors Field bats is the best strategy on any given slate, so, we're going to do our best to stay away from that game. We will have just one recommendation from that game but just be aware that pretty much every bat is in play there. The only problem with doing that is how much salary you have to pay to build that sort of lineup but we'll do our best to throw out recommendations to help make that sort of build. Pitchers Zac Gallen FD - P 10000 DK - SP 9400 Opponent - SEA (Justus Sheffield) Park - ARI FD - 36.83 DK - 19.95 It's going to be tough to pair Coors Field bats with Gallen but he's easily one of the best raw points plays on the board. The reason for that is because we're talking about a guy who has a 2.29 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 9.8 K/9 rate for the season. His last start was actually the only time he's allowed more than three runs in any start of his impressive career, showing just how dominant he can be. The best part about using him today might be the matchup though, with Seattle ranked 25th in runs scored and 24th in wOBA. Tejay Antone FD - P 5500 DK - SP 6900 Opponent - STL (Dakota Hudson) Park - STL FD - 25.33 DK - 12.02 This price really surprised me. While this kid is a relatively unknown pitcher, he's looked great in his short time at the Majors. In fact, Antone now has a 2.49 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 11.7 K/9 rate across 25.1 innings of action this year. That makes him one of the most underrated pitchers around and it makes these price tags hard to figure. It's not like St. Louis is that tough of a matchup either, ranked 20th in runs per game. We also like the fact that Antone pitches from the right side, with the Cards lineup consisting of righties like Paul Goldschmidt, Paul DeJong, Tyler O'Neill and Yadier Molina. There are other good options out there too, like Reynaldo Lopez at a low price and Dinelson Lamet. Catcher/First Base Rhys Hoskins FD - 1B 3700 DK - 1B 4700 Opponent - MIA (Jose Urena) Park - MIA FD - 12.01 DK - 8.87 There are a lot of hot hitters in baseball right now but there aren't...

Pitchers Shane Bieber FD - P 11800 DK - SP 11000 Opponent - MIL (Brett Anderson) Park - CLE FD - 50.12 DK - 27.98 Bieber is the frontrunner for AL Cy Young and there's even some discussion that he's in the running for MVP as well. Anytime a pitcher is in consideration for MVP, you know he's beasting. So far this season, Bieber has a 1.20 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 14.4 K/9 rate. That makes him the best pitcher in fantasy right now and it looks even better when you consider this matchup. The Brewers currently rank 26th in runs scored and 29th in K rate. That has Bieber and the Indians entering this matchup as a -250 favorite. Rich Hill FD - P 6600 DK - SP 7000 Opponent - DET (Casey Mize) Park - MIN FD - 33.34 DK - 17.79 This might be a risky play with the way Hill is pitching this season but it could also be the best-per dollar play out there. The biggest reason we like him is the matchup, facing a Detroit team who ranks 23rd in OBP, 25th in runs scored and dead-last in K rate. The Motor City Kitties had even crappier numbers last season and it's simply one of the worst lineups in baseball. Hill has been one of the best pitchers over the last five years too, pitching to a 2.95 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 11.4 K.9 rate since 2015. Not to mention, Hill is a -190 favorite in this game. Catcher/First Base Matt Olson FD - 1B 3000 DK - 1B 4400 Opponent - SD (Garrett Richards) Park - OAK FD - 12.03 DK - 8.95 Olson has been struggling a bit but it's lowered his price way too much. While he is hitting just .168, 10 homers show why he's so dangerous. Since 2017, Olson's got a .510 SLG and .850 OPS, doing the majority of that damage against right-handed pitching. In fact, Olson is flirting with a .900 OPS against righties in that same span and we love that he got three hits on Saturday. Not to mention, Garrett Richards has a 9.95 ERA and 2.21 WHIP over his last three starts. Eric Thames FD - 1B 2500 DK - 1B 3400 Opponent - ATL (Josh Tomlin) Park - ATL FD - 9.88 DK - 7.37 Thames is going to remain in these articles anytime he faces righty. The main reason for that is because he...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! These last few slates have been absolutely nuts. We have tons of doubleheaders and every team in action, making it hard to figure out exactly who will play. The good news is that we're trying to make it simple, recommending players from the slate beginning at 7ET. There are actually 14 games in this slate, so, we obviously have some great pitchers to pick from! Pitchers Gerrit Cole FD - P 10600 DK - SP 10300 Opponent - BAL (Keegan Akin) Park - BAL FD - 46.8 DK - 26.82 Anytime Gerrit Cole toes the rubber, he's one of the best options for DFS. The reason for that is because he's been one of the best pitchers in baseball, amassing a 2.81 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 36 percent K rate since 2018. That absurd strikeout ability makes him an absolute gem for DFS purposes, especially against an offense like the Orioles. While Baltimore sits in the middle of the pack in most offensive statistics this season, they have an ugly lineup and sat bottom-five in runs scored, OPS and K rate last season. That's certainly evident in Cole's last two starts against the O's collecting 21 strikeouts across 13.2 innings of action while posting a WHIP below 1.00. In addition, Cole is a -250 favorite in this game. Lucas Giolito FD - P 10400 DK - SP 10500 Opponent - KC (Kris Bubic) Park - KC FD - 39.18 DK - 21.14 Giolito had the best pitching performance of the season last week and has truly developed into one of the best arms in the game. Since the end of July last season, Giolito has a WHIP below 1.00 and a K rate north of 30 percent. He's been absolutely cruising recently too, pitching to a 0.86 ERA, 0.48 WHIP and 14.6 K/9 rate over his last three starts. Not to mention, he faced Kansas City six times last season, recording five quality starts while striking out 51 batters across 37 innings of action. That's why he and the White Sox enter this matchup as a -230 favorite. If you're looking for a cheaper option, consider Justus Sheffield against Texas. Catcher/First Base Luke Voit FD - 1B 3900 DK - 1B 4500 Opponent - BAL (Keegan Akin) Park - BAL FD - 12.06 DK - 9.05 The Bronx Bombers have been struggling mightily recently but it's certainly no fault of Voit's. The big first...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! It sounds crazy but we're nearly two-thirds of the way through the season. It feels like we're just getting started but here we are approaching the finish line. That makes every game very important and most of these squads will be facing division opponents from here on out. So, let's go ahead and get into it! Pitchers Carlos Carrasco FD - P 9300 DK - SP 10200 Opponent - MIL (Corbin Burnes) Park - CLE FD - 34.57 DK - 18.69 It sounds really strange to say but the Brewers offense is really bad. So far this season, Milwaukee ranks 28th in runs scored, 26th in OBP, 27th in OPS and 29th in K rate. That's shocking when you consider how good they've been recently but it's really no surprise when you take a look at this lineup. That's great news for a guy like Cookie Carrasco, with the right-hander owning a 3.45 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 29 percent K rate since 2015. That's why he and the Indians enter this matchup as a -160 favorite and why he's one of the best pitching options out there. Dane Dunning FD - P 7700 DK - SP 5800 Opponent - KC (Brady Singer) Park - KC FD - 26.28 DK - 13.58 While a lot of people may not be familiar with this kid, he's an extremely talented pitcher. In fact, the right-hander now has a 2.75 ERA and 0.75 WHIP across his first two starts at the Majors. That's backed by a 2.74 ERA and 1.13 WHIP for his minor league career. His worst season in the minors was a 3.57 ERA and 1.27 WHIP, which are averages that a lot of players would kill for this season. All of that pairs beautifully with his 30 percent K rate at that level and 40 percent mark in his short stay at the Majors, making him dangerous against almost any team. This is definitely not one we're worried about too, with the Royals ranked 28th in OBP, 23rd in OPS and 25th in wOBA. Catcher/First Base Rhys Hoskins FD - 1B 4000 DK - 1B 4600 Opponent - NYM (Rick Porcello) Park - NYM FD - 12.29 DK - 9.07 Hoskins got off to a nightmare start at the beginning of the season but he's been absolutely rolling recently. After homering on Thursday, Hoskins now has five doubles, six dingers and 12 RBI over his...

DraftKings and FanDuel MLB Picks for Sunday 8/30/20 Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our MLB and NBA optimizers and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! This week has been crazier than most and that's saying something. The good news is that we appear to be back to normal here, with 10 games on this Sunday slate. There's actually one pitcher who stands above everyone else, so, let's kick things off with him. Pitchers Kenta Maeda FD 9700 DK 9400 Opponent - DET (Casey Mize) Park - DETFD - 36.2 DK - 20.09 Maeda has been one of the most dominant pitchers in the league this season and a stellar matchup against the Tigers makes him an easy pick. The right-hander is currently pitching to a 2.21 ERA and 0.71 WHIP across his first six starts of the season. That looks even better when you consider his 9.8 K/9 rate, making him super dangerous against an offense like the Tigers. Not only does Detroit rank 27th in OBP, the Motor City Kitties also own the worst K rate in the league. That has Maeda and the Twins entering this game as a -190 favorite and it appears everything is in his favor here. Tanner Roark FD 7200 DK 10600 Opponent - BAL (Jorge López) Park - BALFD - 33.04 DK - 16.57 Roark is quietly a really solid pitcher. These DFS sites keep his price low because he never goes off but he rarely gets blown up either. We're talking about a guy who hasn't allowed more than four runs in any start this season while generating a 3.73 ERA and 1.25 WHIP for his career. Those averages were even better than I expected and it makes him a solid option against the Orioles. While they're middle of the pack in most statistics so far this season, this is an offense that finished 26th in OPS last season and appears to be in for some negative regression. We also have Roark projected to be a -150 favorite in this game and that only adds to his value at this dirt-cheap price tag as a pitcher two option on DraftKings. Catcher/First Base José Abreu FD 4100 DK 5300 Opponent - KC (Kris Bubic) Park - KCFD - 9.92 DK - 7.54 How can we possibly fade Abreu right now? Over his last 11 games played, Abreu has four doubles, nine dingers and 18 RBI en route to a .500 OBP, 1.150 SLG and 1.650 OPS. That makes him the hottest hitter in baseball and it's scary to think that he has...
