CheeseIsGood, a two-time winner of a $1,000,000 first place prize in DFS, 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.

Good Morning and Happy Wednesday! We’ve got another busy day with games spread out all over the place at different times. Both DK and FD are running their main slate as a 6-gamer starting at 6:35pm ET, but the sites have slightly different early slates. On DK, we’re looking at an 8-game slate at 1:10pm ET, while FD is using 6-games starting earlier at 12:35pm. I’ll sort through all this as best I can to find some MLB DFS picks to get all these slates headed in the right direction.

The early slates are heavily tilted to the hitting side and I see just a small handful of viable pitching options that I’ll sort into these two buckets:

Top Tier Quartet

Blake Snell at Mets
Sonny Gray vs White Sox
Lucas Giolito at Twins

Tier Two Maybes

Jose Urquidy at Pirates (FD)
Tylor Megill vs Padres
Griffin Canning vs Nationals (DK)
Edward Cabrera at Phillies (DK)

Whoa Sonny
