Pitchers Carlos Rodón FD 10600 DK 10400 Opponent - DET (Tarik Skubal) Park - DETFD - 40.65 DK - 22.5 With a game in Coors, it can always get a little weird paying all the way up for pitching, but Rodon is one of the guys to considering do just such a thing based on how good he’s been this season. He’s striking out batters at a 31% clip and has been able to limit the walks to under 9%. He’s got a 2.70 ERA with a 3.11 xFIP and comes into this game as a -190 home favorite against the Tigers who have the second-worst team wOBA in the league this season and strike out 24% of the time. This is all lined up to be a great cash game spot for Rodon. Shane Baz FD 7200 DK 7600 Opponent - MIL (Brandon Woodruff) Park - MILFD - 36.65 DK - 20 If you are looking to go a little cheaper with the pitching in order to fit in some of those higher-priced bats then Baz could be the guy. While he isn’t a huge favorite against the Brewers (-121), this game has a very love 7.0 over/under. Baz definitely has strikeout stuff, having put down 15 batters in his first 13 major league innings. He’s even been able to go six innings in one of his starts. He’s coming cheap on both sites and really does fit the bill as a cash game pitcher with a little risk if you are looking to stack some Coors bats. Catcher/First Base Freddie Freeman FD 4500 DK 5900 Opponent - COL (Kyle Freeland) Park - COLFD - 14.79 DK - 11.14 Will Smith FD 3900 DK 5700 Opponent - COL (Kyle Freeland) Park - COLFD - 15.08 DK - 11.22 All right, get ready to see this article piled with Dodgers, as well it should be considering they are heading into their second game in Coors. It was a disappointing effort considering they were shut out the first game, but we really can’t let that deter us here. Freeman should hit second in the order facing off against the lefty Freeland, and the former is once again putting together an excellent season even if the power numbers are a bit down. This is the worse side of his split, though he’s still well better than average for his career...

Pitchers Jordan Montgomery FD - P 9200 DK - SP 8000 Opponent - OAK (Paul Blackburn) Park - NYY FD - 36.51 DK - 19.49 While FanDuel appears to know how to price pitchers on a small slate, DraftKings is struggling tonight with two of the top options massively underpriced considering the size of the slate. Let's start with Montgomery who opens as a -300 home favourite against an A's team that ranks bottom three in almost every statistical category. Monty is coming off his worst start of the season on the road in Tampa but the good news is that he has been much better at home averaging close to seven DK points more per game. All things considered, he is our top cash game pitcher on this slate. George Kirby FD - P 9000 DK - SP 7100 Opponent - BAL (Tyler Wells) Park - SEA FD - 35.49 DK - 18.97 Looking at the model on my cheatsheet, Kirby comes in at #1 tonight so seeing that $7,100 price tag on DraftKings has me salivating big time. The Mariners' first-round pick in 2019 made his way to the big leagues in a hurry and has been more everything they expected and enters Monday with a 3.12 ERA/3.40 xFIP through nine starts. He has also flashed the elite K stuff he showed in the minors as he has struck out six or more in five of his nine starts. The Orioles haven't been AS bad as everyone expected but are still a bottom 10 offence overall and have struck out over 26% of the time over the last week. I will have exposure in all formats as he provides more PTS/$ upside than Montgomery. Catcher/First Base Freddie Freeman FD - 1B 4500 DK - 1B 5800 Opponent - COL (Chad Kuhl) Park - COL FD - 17.94 DK - 13.52 The Dodgers head into Colorado tonight and with the balanced pitching approach I went over above it shouldn't be too hard to get exposure tonight, at least on DraftKings. Freeman is a former MVP and once again tearing the cover off the ball as he enters Monday with hits in 10 straight bringing his average up over .300 on the season. Tonight, he faces Chad Kuhl who has allowed a ton of baserunners(1.89 WHIP last 8 starts) and has given up almost 8% more hard contact to lefties. Fire...

DraftKings and FanDuel MLB Picks for Sunday, 6/26/22 I wasn't able to play DFS on Saturday because of some prior obligations, but that's allowing me to recharge my batteries for this Sunday slate. There's actually one pitcher on the board who could be in the best spot all season, so let's start there! 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 Shane McClanahan FD - P 11400 DK - SP 10300 Opponent - PIT (Roansy Contreras) Park - TB FD - 46.66 DK - 25.86 It's hard to predict 50 FanDuel points from a player, but McClanahan has that in his bag here. The rookie left-hander has been one of the best pitchers in baseball, providing a 1.81 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, and 13.0 K/9 rate this season. Those all have him as one of the favorites for AL Cy Young, with Shane scoring at least 29 FanDuel points in all 14 of his starts. That makes him a worthy play against anyone but facing Pittsburgh is brilliant. The Pirates rank 28th in runs scored, OBP, OPS, and wOBA this season. That's why Mac is a -220 favorite in a game with a 6.5-run total. Brady Singer FD - P 8500 DK - SP 8100 Opponent - OAK (James Kaprielian) Park - KC FD - 31.83 DK - 16.43 This is the far riskier option of these two, but we love Singer in this spot. The right-hander has been excellent outside of one dud against Houston, totaling a 2.63 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 8.8 K/9 rate over his last nine starts, if you take out that one stinker. That's all you can hope for from an $8K player, and we're willing to ignore that blowup because Oakland is obviously a much easier matchup than Houston. In fact, the A's rank bottom-two in runs scored, OBP, OPS, xwOBA, and wOBA. All of that has Singer entering this matchup as a -170 favorite, with the A's projected for fewer than four runs. Dylan Cease (FD $10500 DK $9600) is averaging 22 DraftKings points per game this season and should continue that against a 26th-ranked Baltimore offense. Catcher/First Base Paul Goldschmidt FD - 1B 4300 DK - 1B 6100 Opponent - CHC (Alec Mills) Park - STL FD - 12.77 DK - 9.68 Goldshmidt is the frontrunner for NL MVP, and he's simply the hottest hitter in baseball right now. He's flirting with a .450 OBP and 1.300 OPS over his last 10 games played but has been doing severe...

Pitchers Gerrit Cole FD 10600 DK 10400 Opponent - HOU (Cristian Javier) Park - HOU FD - 36.31 DK - 20.39 The top pitchers in Burnes and Cole have some tough matchups on this early slate but I think we need to build around one of them and their huge fantasy floors. I slightly lean Cole and it may be due to my ownership in dynasty formats but either way, he has been one of the most dominant fantasy pitchers in baseball lately averaging 25.6 DK points per game over his last 11 starts. He has done this by holding opponents to two or fewer earned runs in eight of those starts and tallying an elite 33.3% K rate and 14.5% swinging-strike rate. Brad Keller FD 8100 DK 6800 Opponent - OAK (Jared Koenig) Park - OAK FD - 29.83 DK - 14.75 There is actually a nice selection of value pitchers for the SP2 slot on DraftKings today but I am going to side with Keller who easily has the best matchup. He faces an Oakland team he just dominated for seven innings allowing just one hit with six strikeouts and rank bottom three in almost every offensive stat. For Keller, he can definitely be hit or miss but has looked good in these plus matchups and gives us a high floor at his price and allows us to spend up for more bats. I will have exposure in all formats. Catcher/First Base Josh Bell FD 3300 DK 4000 Opponent - TEX (Matt Bush) Park - TEX FD - 9.42 DK - 7.09 Hunter Dozier FD 2300 DK 3000 Opponent - OAK (Jared Koenig) Park - OAK FD - 11.66 DK - 8.86 The market at the first base position has changed a bit in recent days as we now have multiple players sitting with a $6K price tag. Of those, Rizzo and Goldschmidt have the best matchups but for this article, I am going to give you some value options I am considering for cash games to help me to get elite pitching and elite bats at other positions. Let's start with Josh Bell who has been one of the few bright spots for the Nats in 2022. He enters the day with hits in seven of his last eight games pushing his average over .300 for the season and tallying 11 home runs, 45 RBI, and 38 runs scored....

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Pitchers Aaron Nola FD 10300 DK 10300 Opponent - SD (MacKenzie Gore) Park - SDFD - 39.3 DK - 21.26 Nola has, once again, been one of the best pitchers in the game this season and is ultra-efficient when he takes the mound. He’s averaging close to 6.5 innings every start this season and striking out batters at a 29% rate while walking them only 3% of the time time. He’s got the xFIP under 3.00 on the season and the only issue with Friday is that he’s facing a somewhat tougher matchup in the Padres. But otherwise, everything lines up for Nola to be a strong cash option. Jeffrey Springs FD 8300 DK 8500 Opponent - PIT (Mitch Keller) Park - PITFD - 34.31 DK - 18.64 Springs has been pretty excellent since joining the Rays’ starting staff back at the beginning of May. He’s striking out more than a batter per inning, and in general, has been able to limit the walks as well. On Friday he draws a great matchup against the Pirates who rank 28th in team wOBA on the season and are striking out 25% of the time. They stink. The Rays come in as one of the biggest moneyline favorites on the day giving Springs some of the best win odds. Catcher/First Base Jonah Bride FD 2100 DK 2000 Opponent - KC (Zack Greinke) Park - KCFD - 10.11 DK - 7.73 Bride was just recently called up to the majors, but he does project as a bat who can do some damage at this level. And the A’s certainly believe it to be the case because they are hitting him second in the lineup right now. He was incredibly tough to strike out in the minors and took walks at a better than 10% rate. He doesn’t have tremendous power, but limiting the K’s and taking free passes is the best way to kick things off fantasy-wise. Plus, he’s coming just about free on both sites. MJ Melendez FD 2600 DK 4200 Opponent - OAK (Cole Irvin) Park - OAKFD - 11.07 DK - 8.36 I don’t mind going a little cheaper at first base for this Friday slate and Melendez is a bargain on FanDuel right now. He’s facing off against the lefty Cole Irvin and in a limited sample size, MJ has crushed southpaw pitching. It’s looking like the...
