MLB DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Sunday, August 11
How do you plan to beat the field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?
stlcardinals84: I am going to use a very narrow pitching pool, with at most four options in my player pool. Dylan Cease and Nick Lodolo lap the field in terms of ceiling, and I will use plenty of both, with a sprinkling of Chris Bassitt and David Festa where I need some value. I will also be underweight on the Houston offense as a whole (outside of Yordan Alvarez). They have struggled against LHP this year, and while James Paxton is terrible, I see this team being too chalky for my liking on this slate.
Bobby Gomes: There are enough competent pitchers where I can use a variety of combinations on the cheap, all the way to Cease at the top. On FD, I will stack both sides of the Rockies/Braves game, and on DraftKings I’ll be in on the Red Sox/Astros game, the Orioles, the Rangers/Yankees game, and the Padres.

tcsmith031: I wouldn’t fight you if you wanted to keep your pitching pool incredibly narrow. I’m planning to cycle through the top 4-5 arms in primary builds with just a sprinkling of cheaper dart throws like Andrew Heaney and Albert Suarez in larger-field, multi-entry tournaments. This is a fairly small slate by Sunday standards, so we don’t need to go too far off the map.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll take some shots on gross cheap pitchers, with the chalk congregating big time on Dylan Cease and Chris Bassitt. While I still want a piece of Cease for his ceiling, I’ll also play some lineups with DL Hall, Albert Suarez, and David Festa.
Who is your favorite pitcher (when considering price, matchup, projected ownership, etc.) on the board and why?
