MLB DFS Lineup Advice Today
Tuesday night brings us an 11-game slate on both FanDuel and DraftKings that starts at the standard 7:05 PM ET. It features some top strikeout pitchers as well as a Coors Field game that has the Diamondbacks carrying an implied run total over 6.5 runs. There are some mild weather concerns in Atlanta and Minnesota, so I’ll make sure to be tuning into Crunch Time for the latest on the weather and the starting lineups to make sure those concerns don’t develop into something more. Let’s sort through the slate and figure out what to do with our DFS lineups.
Top MLB DFS Picks for DraftKings & FanDuel
Top Stacks
Overall Stack: Arizona Diamondbacks
Implied Run Total: 6.31 (1st)
Projected Total Ownership: 95% (FD) / 87% (DK)
People have different perspectives on Coors Field games. Some people like to always fade the team if they are chalky, while other people look at the numbers and aim to go over the field on the team that usually has the highest implied run total on the board and guaranteed 9th-inning plate appearances, no matter what the projected ownership numbers look like.
I usually take the situation on a case-by-case basis, and so far this season, I’m not seeing much at pitcher I want to sacrifice salary for, and I’m not seeing much with the Rockies pitching staff that would make me shy away from the Diamondbacks. The Rockies have the worst ERA in the majors (8.37) this season and the 2nd-worst xFIP (5.79), and that’s just looking at their numbers on the road away from Coors Field. Last night, the most popular Diamondbacks hitters hit about 25% ownership in the large-field contests on FanDuel and DraftKings. I’ll look to be around that mark in my multi-entry builds, likely rostering Corbin Carroll more than any other Arizona hitter, but not being afraid to drop down in the order and get some savings (and likely lower ownership) with Eugenio Suarez and Joc Pederson.
