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

Alright guys, I am back today with our usual big MLB DFS Pitching Monday slate to cover our top pitchers at FanSided Fantasy. We have no shortage of stud pitchers, with Gerrit Cole, Mike Clevinger, and Stephen Strasburg, all taking the mound. Which ones will make it into my pitching gems? Also on the slate, we get the ultimate DFS tease in Eduardo Rodriguez, young Cubs prospect Alec Mills, and of course one of the most underrated, and overlooked arms in the league, Sonny Gray. Be sure to read over this article to find out who I like the most, and who my favorite “Gem Of The Day” is, which will be featured at the end of this article.

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!
