MLB DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, August 31
How do you plan to beat the field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?
stlcardinals84: This is a really fun slate to multi-enter in large field GPP contests. There are so many different ways you can go with lineup builds. With a ton of bats to choose from, I don’t want to spend absolute top dollar on my pitchers, so I am intentionally going underweight on Zack Wheeler given his salary and tough matchup this evening. I will be overweight on cheaper options like Yusei Kikuchi and Edward Cabrera. This will free up more salary for me to spend on top tier stacks, while I also like the Brewers and Reds as sneakier options.
Krayton: I will be paying down at pitcher tonight with Edward Cabrera, Jose Quintana, and Mason Black standing out as the trio I want exposure to. With a Coors game on the slate, I want exposure to the top tier bats, and I will also be overweight on the Dodgers and a couple of sneakier teams like CIN and ARI. I love getting to the expensive bats tonight.

TJ Zwarych: Pitching is pretty gross, with all the top pitchers also in really tough matchups. I like Bryan Woo as my primary “spend up,” while I’ll mostly be focusing on the cheaper pitchers like Edward Cabrera, Jose Quintana, Mason Black, and maybe even a sprinkle of Joey Estes or Davis Martin in my 150 max setting.
