Welcome to another MLB DFS Game Theory for the 2021 season! This year we have a good amount of overlap between the NBA & MLB season, so there is lots of money to be made. This article will highlight my top plays at each position, and in the analysis portion of the article, we will highlight my top pitchers and stacks for the day. We have transitioned this article to more of a first look sort of style, with the article being based off of projected lineups and starters. There will be updates to the article if a player ends up not on the field, or if a pitcher gets scratched during the day. Let’s get right into it.
Top Pitchers:
Big slate tonight, and one that I want to definitely pay up for pitching. We have the GOAT on the mound in Jacob DeGrom, and usually there is no doubt that I would use him, and today I will say there is a 90% chance I use him in cash, and I will have plenty of exposure in tournaments. In cash there are three pitchers I will play today and three pitchers only. DeGrom, Woodruff, or Giolito. In tournaments, I want these three, but Scherzer (weather), Kershaw, and Mahle are also playable if in MME. I want DeGrom in cash games most likely and on DK where we have the pleasure of playing two pitchers especially on a slate like this where there is so much talent, I want one of Giolito or Woodruff to pair with the GOAT DeGrom. I probably would say Woodruff is the safer option here but with paying up for these elite pitchers comes trying to find elite value.
In terms of bats, my top stacks include the OAK, KC, BOS, LAA, MIL, TB (Cheap options here), and CIN Righties if weather permits.
My core 4 off of first look: DeGrom, Y. Diaz, E. Rosario, D. Vogelbach
Good luck everyone!
