MLB DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Monday, September 18

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

stevietpfl: I’m going to spend down at pitcher and be overweight on expensive hitters. We have some great mid-tier options at pitcher. Also, we have 3-4 expensive stacks in great spots. I think it’s a slate to prioritize hitters.

headChopper: In GPPs, I am not becoming attached to any particular pitcher. No one stands apart for me. On the hitting side, I like being overweight on San Diego stacks by a good margin.

AlexSonty: In my single-entry lineups, I’m fading the chalky Lance Lynn and his struggles with power prevention and stacking the Tigers in a great home run ballpark. From there, I’m not gonna feel the need to concern myself with ownership very much.

TheLuuch: I think these Houston bats can break the slate at very low projected ownership. It sems like a good time to be overweight on them. We’re only two years removed from John Means handing out 27 home runs to righties in a single season.

eys819: I will be avoiding Lance Lynn chalk. His recent form is enough for me to feel comfortable with a fade despite the elite matchup. Bryan Woo and Michael Wacha have elite matchups of their own, and I will be overweight there. The Brewers and Padres are the top two offenses for me, but I also really like Phillies’ lefties, the Mariners, and the Astros. By fading Lynn, I can play a little chalkier with the bats.

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