MLB DFS Pitching Primer: Friday, July 26
Welcome back to the Friday edition of the MLB DFS Pitching Primer! I’m Thunder Dan and I’ll be covering pitching for MLB DFS on all season long at FanSided Fantasy. I’m including both FanDuel and DraftKings pricing and will be covering my favorite pitching options for both sites.
If you haven’t noticed yet, FantasyCPR is now officially FanSided Fantasy, your one-stop site for everything fantasy sports-related. I know everyone on our staff is really excited about the transition and the opportunity to grow our reach to more fantasy sports fans!
Nothing on our end is going to change, we just happen to have a new site to host our articles and we have big plans to continue expanding our content to give our readers the most comprehensive analysis of season-long and DFS, all for free!
It’s been a week since the last edition of the pitching primer as I was on vacation with my wife and two daughters at the beach for a while. Vacationing with young kids is, well, not always a vacation and both my wife and I came back a little more tired than when we left. But it’s all worth it to give the kids some memories and we had a lot of fun and some pretty decent weather.
And now here I am back to the grind, typing up my favorite pitchers for this 14-game main slate on FanDuel and Draftkings. I didn’t play much last night due to the fact there were not many pitchers I liked on that slate. I went with Jose Berrios who pitched well enough and got a whole lot of run support from his offense (mainly Nelson Cruz) and I ended up winning a few bucks.
"The goal of the pitching primer is to help you narrow down your pitching options for both your GPPs and cash games. Analyzing pitchers and pitching match-ups is something I really enjoy and I hope to give you a detailed analysis of why I think each pitcher makes for a compelling cash or GPP play."
I’m going to discontinue the “First Look” slide for the foreseeable future. You can find the pitching match-ups and Vegas odds on any number of sites and trimming it will allow me more time during the late-night or early morning hours to offer more analysis for each pitching pick. Let’s start with two high-priced pitchers that you should consider for your cash game builds as your “cash game ace.”
