MLB DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Sunday, August 9
Who is your favorite hitter to spend up for in cash games?
stlcardinals84: Wilyer Abreu
Krayton: Wilyer Abreu
TJ Zwarych: Wilyer Abreu
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 my usual 20 entries in large-field tournaments. I plan to have plenty of exposure to Jacob Misiorowski and Jesus Luzardo as my favorite pitchers, with Grant Holmes as a cheap sprinkle on DK. The Red Sox and Cardinals are my favorite stacks, while I also don’t mind cheaper offenses like the Angels and Marlins if you are looking to really spend up at other spots.
Krayton: I will be playing mostly single-entry contests along with some 20-max contests. I will have exposure to Jacob Misiorowski, and in order to do so, I will be playing some cheaper stacks like the Marlins and Royals. The Red Sox are the team I will be prioritizing, and Grant Holmes is another cheap pitcher I will be including in my pool to pair with Misiorowski.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll just be playing one lineup in single-entry contests, and while I’ll certainly be playing Jacob Misiorowski, I’m still undecided on whether I go cheap at SP2. If I go cheap, I’ll prioritize getting in the Red Sox since they’re my top stack on the slate. However, if I go expensive, I’ll go cheap with my offense and use a team like the Marlins, Angels, or Guardians.
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.
