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.

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. Lance Lynn and Zach Greinke are both viable cash game plays on FanDuel and I’ll have one of them as my SP1 on Draftkings for sure.

One pitcher I didn’t include today that could draw some interest is Michael Pineda against the White Sox. I definitely see the appeal of targeting the White Sox with a decent pitcher like Pineda, he just feels a tad overpriced on FanDuel at 8.8k and on Draftkings at 9k. I may end up with some Pineda by tonight, I’ll just have to see what salary cap restraints I have after finding my bats.

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.

Cash Rankings

  1. Lance Lynn
  2. Zack Greinke
  3. Jose Urquidy (DK SP2)

GPP Rankings

  1. Yarbrough
  2. Plesac
