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. Gerrit Cole and Mike Clevinger are both viable cash game plays on FanDuel and I’ll have one of them as my SP1 on Draftkings for sure.

I mentioned with my early slate breakdown that I probably wouldn’t play cash games on that slate and my favorite combo of pitchers is probably going to end up being Rodriguez and Alexander.

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. Mike Clevinger
  2. Gerrit Cole
  3. Anthony DeScalfani
  4. Steven Matz (SP2)

GPP Rankings

  1. DeScalfani
  2. Clevinger
  3. Cole
  4. Matz/Quantrill
