MLB DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Sunday, September 1

How do you plan to beat the field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?

stlcardinals84: This slate is pretty much the opposite of yesterday. Today, there is a lot of value to be found with the bats, so I am going to spend top dollar at pitcher, with Dylan Cease and Sean Manaea being my top targets by a wide margin. I will prioritize them in cash games, single entry, and large field tournaments. They can even both be used together in DK lineups. I like the Twins and Cubs as value stacks to help make that work.

Krayton: I will be looking to get overweight on Dylan Cease and Sean Manaea, as they both have such elite matchups, and there’s a decent amount of value to pay up for pitching today. The Yankees are my top stack by a wide margin. Mixing in bats from CHC, PIT, MIN, and STL is a great way to afford Dylan Cease and a top stack such as the Yankees or the Orioles (on FD).

tcsmith031: This seems to happen far too often, but it looks like I’ll be quite underweight on the Yankees today. It’s scary, but it’s also baseball, and anything can happen in a 1-game sample. Instead, I’ll be more focused on stacks like the Mets, Twins, and Cubs, while I don’t mind the Cardinals as a cheap hedge against Nestor Cortes.

TJ Zwarych: There aren’t many pitchers I have any confidence in today, so I plan to be heavily overweight on Sean Manaea in an amazing matchup against the White Sox, and I will be differentiating my stacks. I’ll try to play as much Aaron Judge and Juan Soto as possible while fading the rest of the Yankees stacks.

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