MLB DFS - Million Dollar Musings - Friday, August 7th

Happy Thursday! The first thing to note about tonight’s slate is the difference in start time between sites. DraftKings is starting earlier than usual at 6:05 ET to include two extra games, while FanDuel and Yahoo are keeping the usual 7pm start time with just a five-game slate. That makes for a significant difference, as the two early games feature the two best pitchers on the slate as well as the top game for offense. I’ll talk through all seven games, but it’s a completely different build on FD/Yahoo without those first two games. I will also touch on the early-only slate on FD which has five games starting at 3:10 ET.
