Top Projected MLB DFS Pitchers

The pitching landscape tonight offers an elite combination of high-strikeout floor selections and hidden value options facing struggling orders.

Jacob Misiorowski (MIL): There's just nobody on the slate like “The Miz” as he's put up 30+ DKP in five straight and had a season-high 40 bomb last time he took the mound. He's also struck out 10+ batters in three of his last four outings and hasn't struck out less than eight batters since April 14th.

Best MLB DFS Stacks Today

Targeting optimal game totals and heavy platoon split vulnerabilities is the definitive key to solidifying your offensive stack core.

Atlanta Braves (vs. Nick Lodolo, CIN LHP)

Atlanta is top-11 in all categories against left-handed pitching this year and face a struggling Nick Lodolo in a smaller ballpark conducive to offense. Lefties have a .238 ISO against Lodolo while righties have a .321 ISO against him. Home run problems in Great American is a bad issue to have. Ronald Acuna, Matt Olson, Michael Harris, Ozzie Albies, and Mauricio Dubon stand out for ATL.
