Get set for today’s MLB DFS Pitching slate with our top FanDuel and Draftkings arms to build around on the fantasy baseball schedule.

Hey everyone, I am back with my favorite MLB DFS pitching plays for the main slate at FanSided Fantasy. One of my good friends, Dan Palyo, known as ThunderDan, has been putting out some great plays from his Pitching Primer, so make sure you guys take a look at his article on the days I am not covering pitchers.

I’ll also mention before we get started, you will see a variety of different statistics in this article, such as xFIP (Expected Fielding Independent Pitching), ISO (Isolated Power), K (Strikeout) rate, GB (Ground-ball) rate, FB (Fly-Ball) rate, and HC (Hard Contact). Along with various other statistics that will focus on a player’s specific pitch-type. This allows us to isolate specific pitchers, who are not only in good matchups but are also in good recent form.

Everything you see in this article can be found on various websites, such as Brooks Baseball or RotoGrinders Plate IQ. These are two of my favorite websites/tools, to use for research, and the best thing about them is they are completely free. Alright, let’s dive in!
