We have a unique slate tonight because there are not any elite pitchers on the board, which forces us to identify sharp value and target the most vulnerable arms with our offensive stacks. To maximize your edge, make sure you are utilizing our MLB DFS optimizer and updated hitter projections. Before locking in your rosters, dive into the latest coaching analysis and monitor ownership trends to see where the field is gravitating.

Top Projected MLB DFS Pitchers

The pitching landscape tonight is defined by strikeout potential and favorable matchup metrics rather than pure ace status.

Ryan Weathers (NYY) at BAL Strikeouts are king in MLB DFS and nobody on this slate has the numbers that Weathers has flashed this year. He carries a robust 28.5 percent strikeout rate into Baltimore, a team that strikes out at a 24.6 percent clip against southpaws and has posted a subpar 95 wRC plus in that split.

Best MLB DFS Stacks Today

Targeting specific splits and regression candidates is the key to identifying the MLB DFS best lineup today.

New York Yankees (Brandon Young, BAL RHP) The Yankees are a fantastic stack today as they have the second-highest implied total on the board. Brandon Young allows home runs at an alarming rate and has struggled mightily at home, where he has allowed 14 of his 15 home runs this season and currently sports an 8.21 ERA. Stacking the top of this order gives you exposure to elite power against a pitcher whose underlying numbers suggest a significant ceiling for the offense.

Best Value Plays For DraftKings and FanDuel

To fit high-end bats and top-tier pitching, you must identify hitters in favorable split matchups.

Travis Bazzana (2B, CLE) This guy has had zero batted ball luck and yet he is on base 40 percent of the time with seven steals in just 11 games. He boasts a 0.399 xwOBA against right-handed pitching this year and remains one of the best salary-relief options to help you build an MLB DFS optimal lineup.
