Sunday Pitching: MLB DFS Picks on FanDuel & DraftKings

The Top Options

Today looks a lot different than yesterday on the mound. We have aces galore on this Sunday, and there is no shortage of top arms to choose from. Here’s a look at all the aces we have going this afternoon.

(NOTE – For now, all statistical references for pitchers are for 2022 full season data given that we still only have two starts for 2023 for most of them. I will probably switch to 2023 data in a week or two).

Gerrit Cole (vs. MIN) – 3.50 ERA, 2.77 SIERA, 32% K, 6% BB
Sandy Alcantara (vs. ARI) – 2.28 ERA, 3.42 SIERA, 23% K, 6% BB
Dylan Cease (vs. BAL) – 2.20 ERA, 3.48 SIERA, 30% K, 10% BB
Shane Bieber (vs. WSH) – 2.88 ERA, 3.21 SIERA, 25% K, 5% BB
Alek Manoah (vs. TB) – 2.24 ERA, 3.85 SIERA, 23% K, 7% BB
