Million Dollar Musings: MLB DFS Picks for Thursday, June 13th
CheeseIsGood, a winner of a $1,000,000 1st-place prize on both DraftKings and FanDuel, is here to give you his musings on the upcoming MLB DFS slate. Whether you are looking for the top pitchers or the best stacks, Cheese has you covered with an extensive deep dive into his MLB DFS picks.
Happy Thursday! We’ve got another split-slate day that starts with an early 4-gamer at 1:05 PM ET. I’ll take a quick peek at that pitcherless early slate before diving into the evening slate. The night slates are split up slightly different, with FD adding one earlier game for a 7-game slate starting at 6:50 PM ET. DK is sticking with the regular start time of 7:10 PM ET for a 6-game slate.
Thursday Early Pitching: MLB DFS Picks on FanDuel & DraftKings
This is one of the weakest pitching slates we’ve seen in a while, and it’s tough to feel excited about any of this. We can split the 8 pitchers into two buckets.
I Guess We’ll Call It The Top Tier
Nestor Cortes at Royals – 23.9% K, 4.9% BB, 3.68 ERA, 3.76 SIERA
Reynaldo Lopez at Orioles – 24.8% K, 8.4% BB, 1.85 ERA, 3.80 SIERA
Lance Lynn vs. Pirates – 21.8% K, 9.3% BB, 3.58 ERA, 4.23 SIERA
Mitch Keller at Cardinals – 22% K, 6.5% BB, 3.16 ERA, 3.88 SIERA
Well, yikes! We don’t have any pitchers above 25% strikeouts, and the two guys who even manage to crack the 23% mark have very tough matchups. I feel pretty certain that there is no best answer to this weird little puzzle. I can only tell you what I’m going to do about it.
