DraftKings and FanDuel MLB Picks for Sunday, 5/8/22 Man, how crazy has the weather been this week? We had six postponements on Friday and another three on Saturday. That leaves us with a couple of doubleheaders and more headaches in terms of guessing weather. The East Coast has been flooded by rain this weekend, and it looks like we could have more thunderstorms here. The skies are clearer than they were on Friday and Saturday, though, which means we could get a full day of baseball. With that in mind, let's kick things off with the pitchers!

Pitchers Joe Musgrove FD - P 10000 DK - SP 9800 Opponent - MIA (Trevor Rogers) Park - SD FD - 42.85 DK - 23 We have been waiting for Musgrove to break out for most of his career, but it looks like we're finally there. The former Pirate provided a 3.18 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in a breakout 2021 season. He's been even better this year, tallying a 4-0 record, 1.97 ERA, and 0.91 WHIP. That obviously makes him one of the best pitchers in baseball, scoring at least 17 DraftKings points in all five starts. All of that makes him tough to fade against Miami, with the Marlins ranked 20th in runs scored and 22nd in xwOBA. The oddsmakers agree with everything we mentioned, making Musgrove a -185 favorite in a game with a 6.5-run total. Alek Manoah FD - P 10400 DK - SP 10100 Opponent - CLE (Konnor Pilkington) Park - CLE FD - 34.79 DK - 18.83 We just discussed that Musgrove is amid a breakout campaign, and it looks like Manoah is in the same boat. The right-hander was spectacular in a limited role last season and has carried that over to the tune of a 1.45 ERA and 0.84 WHIP this year. Those are some of the best averages around, with Alek doing that damage against teams like the Yankees (2), Red Sox, and Astros. Cleveland has half the talent of those other rosters, with the Guardians ranked 24th in xwOBA. All of that will likely have Manoah entering this matchup as a -200 favorite! Patrick Sandoval (FD $9100 DK $8900) has a 1.29 ERA and 1.14 WHIP this season and faces weak Nationals lineups. Catcher/First Base Ty France FD - 1B 3800 DK - 1B 4400 Opponent - TB (Ryan Yarbrough) Park - SEA FD - 12.51 DK - 9.54 France hasn't gotten much...

Pitchers Editor’s Note: Some of these plays will be the same as yesterday’s because of the sheer number of postponements that went down in baseball on Friday. Gerrit Cole FD - P 11000 DK - SP 8800 Opponent - TEX (Dane Dunning) Park - NYYFD - 40.66 DK - 23.22 Cole has the best win odds on the day, sitting at -212 at home against the Rangers. He hasn’t been quite as lights out as in other years though he’s still striking out more than 10 batters per nine. But the xFIP is up some and so are the walks. I don’t think there are crazy reasons for concern here, and Vegas doesn’t seem all that worried about it, but it at least warrants mentioning. Cole isn’t going to crush you on the price for either site and I expect he’ll be one of the more popular plays here. Max Scherzer FD - P 10800 DK - SP 10000 Opponent - PHI (Zach Eflin) Park - PHIFD - 37.52 DK - 21.16 It’s not a necessity, but I think we are going to want to go double expensive with our arms on this slate considering there are some real aces taking the mound on Friday. Scherzer has been electric once again this season, striking out more than 12 batters per nine and rocking a 2.61 xFIP. He’s one of the reasons the Mets have been so good this year and he comes in as a -140 road favorite against the Phillies with a 7 over/under. It’s not the best matchup on the slate, but Scherzer is arguably the best pitcher overall so it makes it a bit easier to stomach. Logan Webb (FD $9200 DK $9600) is interesting here. He’s a -149 home favorite against the Cardinals and gets to go in one of the best parks for pitchers. Sonny Gray (FD $8900 DK $7700) is a big home favorite against the lowly A’s and though he’s struggled this season is almost too good a bargain on DK to pass up. Catcher/First Base Max Muncy FD 3000 DK 4600 Opponent - CHC (Drew Smyly) Park - CHCFD - 12.54 DK - 9.27 We’re going to have some Dodgers on this list today, especially for the first leg of the doubleheader against the Cubs. Muncy is having a weird season in that he’s walking at an elite rate (19%)...
