MLB DFS Picks: DraftKings Expert Survey for Saturday, September 12
Who is your favorite hitter to spend up for in cash games?
CheeseIsGood: Kevin McGonigle
TastefulTides: Riley Greene
TJ Zwarych: Aaron Judge
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?
CheeseIsGood: The Tigers and Yankees stand out a bit, but after that, I see a very tangled slate. My preference is smaller-field contests in which I can just load up on those teams rather than throw a whole bunch of random darts after that. If I were going to MME, I find at least 10 offenses I would want to be in on, but I don’t love any of them enough to want to match the field on them. My pitching pool is essentially Tyler Glasnow plus one of Andrew Alvarez or Ranger Suarez, perhaps with Michael King or Andrew Sears sneaking in as well.
TastefulTides: Single entry is my preferred tournament format. I am looking to fade the chalky Yankees. If there is a chalky team that I will be loading up on, it’s the Tigers. They will be facing off against the terrible pitching staff of the Rockies. They are also fairly affordable, so you don’t have to sacrifice much at pitching to fully stack them. The other game of note is the Wrigley Field game. There looks to be some really nice hitting weather there, so getting some of both sides of that game is a smart play in all formats.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll just be playing one lineup in single-entry contests. I will be looking at sneakier teams like the Pirates, Cubs, and Orioles to pair with some Tigers, and I will omit the chalky Yankees and Dodgers. I’ll likely eat the chalk with Tyler Glasnow and go cheap with my SP2 so I can still spend up on some bats.
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.
