DraftKings and FanDuel MLB Picks for Wednesday, 9/7/22

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...
