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.

More from DFS

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. I would have no problem paying for aces Sale and Bauer on both slates today in cash.

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.

Top Tier Rankings (10k+)

  1. DeGrom
  2. Ryu
  3. Bieber
  4. Verlander 
  5. Corbin

Second Tier Rankings (8-10k)
