MLB DFS Pitching Primer: First Look

Here are the pitching match-ups for this afternoon’s and evening’s games. The home pitcher is listed second and the Vegas odds are listed in parenthesis when available. Remember that some pitchers have extremely large home/road splits.

Vegas lines and implied run totals can be tricky to navigate at times and they do change throughout the day, but they are certainly a great place to start your MLB DFS research. For cash games, I am often looking for large home favorites, while anything goes for GPPs.

Early Slate

Dinelson Lamet (-115) vs. Caleb Smith

Ross Stripling (-105) vs. Aaron Nola

Thomas Pannone vs. Chris Sale

Ross Detwiler vs. Brad Keller

Main Slate

Charlie Morton vs. Chad Green (-115) ***NOTE THIS GAME IS NOT ON FANDUEL MAIN SLATE***

Matt Boyd vs. Trevor Bauer (-200)

Dakota Hudson vs. Tanner Roark (-130)

Stephen Strasburg (-125) vs. Julio Teheran

Mike Fiers vs. Kyle Gibson (-140)

Wade Miley vs. Matt Harvey

Zach Davis vs. Merrill Kelly (-105)

Noah Syndergaard (-110) vs. Madison Bumgarner

The Yankees play a doubleheader today after last night’s game was rained out. The first game is a 3:00 start and not on any slate while the second game was only added to the main slate for Draftkings, not FanDuel. We are missing some Vegas info in three games but still have plenty of actionable data here to use when making our picks. Keep in mind the Dodgers and Phillies both played into the AM last night and have to turn around for an early game today, too.
