MLB DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Friday, September 29
How do you plan to beat the field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?
CheeseIsGood: For as closely jumbled as the top 12-15 pitchers are, I’m landing on a somewhat condensed pool that feels weird and fishy. I’m going to be well above the field on boom or bust options like Nick Pivetta, Carlos Rodon, and Dylan Cease. It could go very poorly, but I just don’t love the other options on this slate. On the hitting side, I also feel less than comfortable fading the team that I expect to score the most runs on the slate, but here we are. I just see so much pinch-hit risk up and down the Twins lineup that I just can’t go overboard here. I strongly prefer just finding a way to jam in Braves stacks. I’m also going heavy on some teams in the hunt, with the Reds and Cubs near the top of my board.
STLCardinals84: I am going to stack the best offenses tonight, and I am going to include one-off power bats from the other top offenses in those lineups. For example, you can include Austin Riley in with a Yankees stack. You can include Aaron Judge in with a Braves stack. You can include Ronald Acuna in with a Twins stack. You get the picture. If you have the right combination of those top offenses with the correct one-off play from another team, you are going to be ahead of almost every other stack even if the chalk hits. Spending up for these bats is totally doable on this slate given that the better pitching options are relatively affordable. Give me Braves, Yankees, and Dodgers in droves tonight.
TastefulTides: There are several pitchers on this slate that I am not even considering. Pivetta and Means will be highest owned pitchers and might just lock them into three max GPP’s. I am going to get to as much of Atlanta as I can fit and. Minnesota is a tougher sell for me. They are in a great spot, but will very chalky, I will consider them however I want to leave room to get different with SDP, LAD and even some LAA for salary relief.
TJ Zwarych: I plan to be overweight on the Braves, Yankees and Twins while getting different at pitcher tonight. I’ll still be mixing in Means, Pivetta, Eovaldi and a little bit of Rodon, but I’ll target Ken Waldichuk, Brandon Williamson and Nick Martinez in tournaments to save salary while also getting different as I pay up for bats.
Who is your top overall pitcher (when considering price, matchup, projected ownership, etc.) on the board and why?
