MLB DFS Pitching Primer: Monday, July 29

Welcome back to the Monday 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!

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 my favorite higher-priced options for your cash games.
