Pitchers Tyler Glasnow FD 4400 DK 7500 Opponent - CIN (Finnegan) Park - @PITFD - 32.51 DK - 21.43 On DraftKings, I think you almost have to pay up at pitcher and find ways to pay down elsewhere. On FanDuel, I think Tyler Glasnow is a very interesting GPP option. He's sitting at $4400, which is cheaper than Charlie Blackmon, Nolan Arenado, and Bryce Harper. Glasnow is one of the most promising prospects in baseball. He did struggle last season and ended up in the bullpen, but this is a guy who will be a front-end starter in the next 3 years. This match-up with the Reds is an interesting one, as the lineup is way diverse. Guys like Billy Hamilton and Jose Peraza are atrocious hitters and strikeout a lot, but can get on base and wreak havoc. With Joey Votto in the 3-spot, the Reds are tough if either of those guys are on. After Votto, there are a lot of strikeouts to be had. Duvall, Schebler, and Cozart all hold 24%+ K rates and don't walk much. Glasnow held a 9.61 K/9 in his short 2016 stint, which definitely shows a ton of promise. While Glasnow is far from safe, he has a ton of upside for his price on FanDuel. In cash games, go ahead and target one of the top dogs. Charlie Morton FD 6400 DK 6600 Opponent - SEA (Paxton) Park - @SEAFD - 27.39 DK - 18.18 James Paxton FD 7700 DK 8400 Opponent - HOU (Morton) Park - @SEAFD - 30.52 DK - 20.11 If you're playing the all-day slate, both of these guys are in play. Charlie Morton was surprisingly good last season, sporting a 9.87 K/9 and a 3.09 xFIP. Morton is a quality pitcher and has been extremely consistent for about 25 straight starts. He faced these same Mariners just a week ago, pitching 6 innings and giving up 2 earned runs with 4 strikeouts. The Mariners are a pretty good offense but lack the ability to put together big innings. With a few guys who strikeout a lot, the...

Daily Fantasy MLB Baseball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 4/10/17 Welcome to Monday Baseball! We have 2 separate slates on our hands, starting at 1 and 7 Eastern. The Mariners-Astros game isn't on either of these, so I won't be touching on them. If you're playing an all-day slate, both offenses are in play. We have a few strong pitchers on our hands today with a couple offenses in great spots. Let's get to the top options at each position!

We've got you completely covered.   Pitcher Early Taijuan Walker FD 7500 DK 8700 Opponent - SF (Moore) Park - @SF FD - 27.37 DK - 18.19 Chris Sale is on this slate, so it's going to be interesting to see how ownership ends up. He still probably has the highest floor and definitely the highest ceiling, so you can obviously go there. We just think Taijuan Walker is better in terms of point per dollar. This early slate has pretty decent pitching as a whole, so I'm finding myself wanting to pay up for the most talented hitters. Walker will certainly help you do that, sitting nearly $4k cheaper than Sale. I think the D-Backs have a pretty good chance of scoring some runs against Matt Moore, as they are lethal against lefties. That should help Walker secure a win and let him pitch comfortably. The Giants are obviously a tough offense to face, ranking in the top 8 against right-handed pitching in 2016. With that being said, AT&T Park is extremely tough to hit in. It ranked dead last in 2016 in run production and home runs. Walker was a huge prospect and has shown promise and potential. In 2016, he sported an 8 K/9 with a 29% hard contact rate, which are both above average numbers. He also saw his SwStr%(Swinging Strike) rise on both his fastball and cutter, which are the pitches he relies on to close at-bats. Walker is going to have another productive season and should be in line for a pretty solid start today. Keep in mind, this is the Giants and a young pitcher. Things can definitely go awry. I will be more apt to play...

Pitchers Lance McCullers FD 8900 DK Opponent - KC (Karns) Park - @HOUFD - 35.8 DK - 0 The Astros finish out their weekend set with the Royals today sending Lance McCullers out there to try and salvage a win out of the series. McCullers had a roller coaster spring, but got the regular season off to a very good start with a win over the Mariners on Tuesday. In six strong innings, he allowed only 1 earned run in 5 hits and 2 walks while also picking up 7 K's. Kansas City will be throwing Nate Karns, who probably shouldn't even be pitching for a Major League team, but he is. So the 'Stros should be able to muster enough run support to get McCullers the win. As long as he is able to duplicate his first start, while building on the number of K's he could pay dividends, while coming in at a price that allows you to fit some pricier bats in as well. Carlos Martinez FD 9200 DK Opponent - CIN (Feldman) Park - @STLFD - 35.72 DK - 23.4 Carlos Martinez takes the hill for the Cardinals today, against the Reds in St. Louis. Martinez was phenomenal in the season opener on Sunday against the Cubs picking up where he left off in 2016. in 7.1 innings, CMart held the Cubs high powered offense scoreless on 6 hits, walking none and fanning 10. The only detraction was that he didn't get the win due to his closer not being able to hold the lead in the ninth. Last year Martinez ended the season with a .818 WHIP and 12.3 K's per 9. The Reds are only striking out 19.4% of the time to start the season, but they're also only scoring 3.5 runs per game. I'd be willing to roll Martinez out in cash or tournament contests. Noah Syndergaard FD 11100 DK Opponent - MIA (Volquez) Park - @NYMFD - 38.6 DK - 25.27 We finish out here with Thor. Noah Syndergaard comes in as a risk/reward type of play, following him leaving his opening day...

Daily Fantasy MLB Baseball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 4/9/17 Sunday Baseball! FanDuel and DraftKings have the first 9 games on the main slate, with the exception of Coors Field. They are both also offering all-day states, where all 15 games are included. The day is an interesting one, with some elite pitchers and some gas cans. Watch out for weather. We have seen a few games already get postponed this season and you do have to be careful during this time of the year. Everything looks good as I write this, but you never know. Make sure to comment below or join the live chat in the bottom right hand of the screen. You can also find me on Twitter @VarneyDFS. Thanks and good luck on this fine Sunday!

We've got you completely covered.   Everyone in Coors Field is in play. With an 11 over/under, it has the highest total on the day. Maeda is a strong arm, but relies on off-speed movement, which he won't get much of. Tyler Anderson is good against lefties but will get taken advantage of by right-handers. Everyone is extremely expensive on Draftkings, so you can definitely fade in tournaments. Pitcher I will be focusing on the main slate that FD and DK are offering. Johnny Cueto is obviously a fantastic play against the Padres. He is the top pitcher on all-day slates in cash games. Stephen Strasburg FD 9600 DK 10600 Opponent - PHI (Hellickson) Park - @PHI FD - 38.18 DK - 0 Strasburg has already pitched this season, tossing 7 innings of pretty average stuff. He gave up 2 runs only struck out 3, which is surprising for a guy who has held a 10-12 K/9 over his career. I'm willing to trust the sample size here and not bet that Strasburg is now pitching to contact. The strikeouts will come and they will definitely come against the Phillies. The Phillies scored enough runs for a few weeks last night and will hopefully be happy getting shut down tonight. Maikel Franco, Tommy Joseph, Cameron Rupp, and Jeremy Hellickson all strikeout a ton. They hold 28%+ K rates and Strasburg is one of the top K pitchers in the league. Strasburg was good against both sides of the plate in 2016, finishing with a .277 combined wOBA. Strasburg has...

We've got you completely covered.   Chicago Cubs   Tommy Milone will take the mound for the Milwaukee Brewers today with Junior Guerra out for at least six weeks. Milone had a rough go of it this spring in the Cactus League and has a 5.70 ERA in his last 71 1/3 major league innings. Milone came out of the Bullpen in Mondays opener against the Rockies, and gave up two earned runs on three hits in 2 innings, while picking up 2 K's. The highly potent Cubs offense should have a field day against him. Vegas is giving the Cubbies a run total of 5 which is the highest on the day outside of Coors. Kris Bryant, Addison Russell and Ben Zobrist match up nicely with Milone and should hit him around quite a bit. Kyle Schwarber helps to round out your stack as long as he continues to leadoff, while Jason Heyward can help provide some salary relief, if you wanted to do a heart of the order stack instead. Texas Rangers We're just about a full week in to the season now, which means, we've gotten a look at most teams full rotations at least once, and begin our second cycle through. Kendall Graveman opened the season for the Atheltics against Anaheim and actually looked pretty impressive. Through six innings, he allowed just 2 runs off 6 hits and 2 walks, while fanning 7, even walking away with a win. This may be more of a fluke than anything though, as he only had two games all of last season in which he was able to compile 7 strikeouts. Today he takes the mound in Globe Life Park, against a Rangers team that beat up on A.J. Griffin last night, knocking him out of the game after only 3.1 innings and 4 earned runs on 4 hits. Build against Graveman, with Shin-Soo Choo, Nomar Mazara, and Rougned Odorwith either Carlos Gomez or Mike Napoli to round out your stack.
