Covering the Bases: Saturday, May 13
STLCardinals84, one of the best tournament players in the game, is here to cover the bases for the upcoming MLB DFS slate. Whether you are looking for the top pitchers or the best stacks, Cards has you covered with an extensive deep dive into his MLB DFS picks.
Happy Saturday, Grinders! We have the usual split slate Saturday on tap for today, with eight early games and six night games on the DFS slates for us. DraftKings has combined all eight early games into one big slate, while FanDuel has split them up into a four game “very early” slate and a four game “early” slate. I am just going to break down all eight games together given the context of the DK slate, and then you can splice up the analysis given your preferences of the FD slates.
This should be an interesting day of baseball, so let’s get right down to business with some of my favorite MLB DFS picks for this Saturday! Have a great weekend everyone!
