MLB DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Sunday, August 30
Who is your favorite hitter to spend up for in cash games?
stlcardinals84: Ronald Acuna Jr.
Krayton: Juan Soto (FD) / Ronald Acuna Jr. (DK)
TJ Zwarych: Juan Soto (FD) / Ronald Acuna Jr. (DK)
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 20 entries in the large-field contests. I won’t be taking a ton of bold stances with my pitchers, as I will likely have plenty of exposure to the more popular options. I will differentiate my lineups through my offenses, with plans to be most overweight on the Mariners and White Sox.
Krayton: I will be playing single-entry and 20-max contests on both sites. I will be overweight on Tyler Mahle. He is my favorite SP2 on DK, and I will have him in quite a few lineups on FD too. The Braves, White Sox, Mariners, and Twins are the stacks I am targeting most.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll be playing 150 lineups in large-field tournaments, and I’ll keep a tight pitcher pool, focusing mainly on Tyler Glasnow, Tyler Mahle, and Parker Messick. Atlanta is the clear top offense on the slate, and while I’ll be getting to some of them in my lineups, I’ll mostly be spreading out my exposure across most of the teams.
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.
