MLB DFS Pitching Primer: Rankings and Review

This is where I give you my final rankings for both cash games and GPPs. Remember, rankings for cash are based on safety, while rankings for GPP are based on their ceiling and point-per-dollar upside.

Remember on DK, I prefer to pay up for at least one high-priced pitcher in cash and on FanDuel I prefer to pay up in cash more often than not. At 9800 on FanDuel, Lynn is a no-brainer to me. I don’t blame you if you can’t get all the way up to him on Draftkings, though.

On DK, my preferred cash game pairing is going to be Cashner-Flaherty while my favorite GPP pairing will probably be Pineda-Cashner.

More from DFS

If you play mainly on FanDuel try not to spread your ownership out too much among different pitchers guys, otherwise, you are probably hurting your chances at winning a GPP by getting the right stack with the right pitcher.

Tonight, I’ll be working on MME strategy over on Drafkings where I am maxing out their dime contests and quarter contests. If you haven’t tried MME, you should! It’s one way to have some fun with baseball as the dog days of summer approach. FanDuel has nickel and quarter arcades, too!
