MLB DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Sunday, March 31
How do you plan to beat the field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?
STLCardinals84: I will be underweight on the chalky Minnesota stack. For one thing, you don’t really need to go cheap with bats today given the lack of top-tier pitching. I prefer to be more overweight on expensive stacks like the Yankees and Astros. For another thing, I prefer a sneakier cheap stack like the Nationals if you are looking to take that path.
Krayton: On slates like this where I don’t see anything that stands out at pitching, I am very willing to spread things out and take a chance on some of the cheaper pitching options like Erick Fedde and Nick Martinez. One team I want to be overweight on today is the Atlanta Braves, and they are very expensive. They get a nice matchup against the left-handed Ranger Suarez, and they have been hot to start the season. Having a cheap pitching option allows me to get a stack like Atlanta paired with two of my next favorite stacks in the Texas Rangers and the New York Yankees. I do like Chris Sale and Jack Flaherty and will have exposure to both. However, my preferred builds are going cheaper at pitcher and really stacking the bats. I did this yesterday utilizing Kutter Crawford and stacking the Diamondbacks and Rangers/Dodgers and it worked great. I like going to a similar strategy today.
tcsmith031: This is a fairly ugly pitching slate with a lot of question marks, so I’ll be spreading my exposures on the pitching side as much as possible. Chris Sale, Jack Flaherty, and Erick Fedde aren’t pitchers that inspire a whole lot of confidence, yet they look like three of the better options on the board. I’m unlikely to have any single pitcher in at least 40% of my lineups.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll be keeping as tight of a pitching pool as possible tonight. I don’t feel confident about any of the chalky options, so I’ll look to go overweight on players like Kevin Gausman, Brady Singer, Tyler Wells and Tylor Megill.
Who is your top overall pitcher (when considering price, matchup, projected ownership, etc.) on the board and why?
