MLB DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, September 26

Who is your favorite hitter to spend up for in cash games?

stlcardinals84: Yordan Alvarez
Krayton: Yordan Alvarez
TJ Zwarych: Yordan Alvarez

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 am not going to go crazy with my bankroll usage tonight, and I will stick to around 10 entries in the large-field contests. This is a very mediocre slate to close out the MLB DFS season, and that makes me a little sad. However, that is life with just a couple days left in the regular season. The Astros will likely be popular, just as they have been all week. I like them plenty, with the White Sox and Royals as my other favorite stacks.

Krayton: I am going to be playing single-entry contests on both sites along with my usual 20-max contests. I will be a little more spread out at pitcher than I usually am, focusing on some favorite stacks that are still playing for something. My favorites are the White Sox and the Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks are playing very well, and they still have a small chance to make it to the playoffs. The Astros round out my top-3 stacks.

TJ Zwarych: I’ll just be playing one lineup in single-entry contests, and I plan to target both sides of the HOU/ATH game in the minor league park in Sacramento. It’s not as hot as usual, but it’s still the best hitting environment on the slate. While the field will flock to the front half of the Astros lineup, I’ll roll with the back half to get a little different.

Who is your favorite pitcher (when considering price, matchup, projected ownership, etc.) on the board and why?

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.
