MLB DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, July 4
Who is your favorite hitter to spend up for in cash games?
stlcardinals84: Kyle Stowers
Krayton: Kyle Stowers
TJ Zwarych: Kyle Stowers
What is your preferred tournament format (e.g. large-field, single-entry) to play on this slate? How do you plan to beat that field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?
stlcardinals84: I will be playing around 10 entries in the larger-field tournaments. I plan to be most overweight on Chris Sale and Jesus Luzardo at pitcher, as they are my clear top arms given their upside and favorable matchups. I also plan to take quite a few stands with my stacks. The Giants, Dodgers, and Brewers are some of my favorite options, I like the Red Sox as a cheaper stack, and I plan to be underweight on the Athletics and Phillies.
Krayton: I will be playing single-entry and 20-max contests on both sites. Jesus Luzardo, Chris Sale, and Sean Burke (for salary relief) are my favorite pitchers today. The stacks I am focusing on include the Giants, Dodgers, Marlins, and Rockies.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll be playing 150 lineups in large-field tournaments. I’ll keep a tight player pool of hitters, as I want to mix and match these incredible options we have at pitcher. I’ll fade the chalky Sonny Gray and instead use Jesus Luzardo, Shota Imanaga, and Brandon Woodruff as my “cheaper” options.
Who is your favorite pitcher (when considering price, matchup, projected ownership, etc.) on the board and why?

About the Author
Robert Brown (aka Epignosis) was having lunch at a sports bar. A football game was on. He remarked to his wife that if he could have a second life, he’d like to be someone who enjoyed watching sports. That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS. When not teaching American literature, editing content for RotoGrinders (which he has done since 2019), or making lineups, Epignosis is rocking out or jazzing it up on one of several possible instruments.
