FanDuel MLB DFS Breakdown: Friday 8/9Welcome to a special Friday edition of the FanDuel MLB DFS Breakdown! I’m Thunder Dan and I’ve been covering pitching for MLB DFS on all season long at FanSided Fantasy. Today I wanted to give you a complete slate breakdown for FanDuel, and don’t worry I’m still going to talk plenty about pitchers!

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!

Last night was another wild MLB slate but a lot of runs scored, as per usual in August. For those of you who are still grinding MLB at this stage of the season, just know that we are going to keep seeing a ton of offense the next two months with hot weather and tired or inexperienced pitchers.

There were some scores over 300 in some of the larger field GPPs that I was entered into on FanDuel last night, so just understand that you’re going to need to big scores to cash your

Today we have a 14-game slate on FanDuel and so there are going to be a large number of viable pitching options and hitter combos. My goal today is to help you get your process started with my favorite plays for both cash games and GPPs.

I will give you my top arms for cash and GPPs, my cash core of three hitters you should build your cash game lineup around, and three of my favorite teams to use in GPPs when you build your three and four-man hitting stacks.

I am going to do my best to give you some different options at various price points here today and I’ll include my cash game sample lineup at the end of the article with my final thoughts.

Let’s start this slate breakdown the same way I start my pitching primer, with my favorite pitchers for your cash games!
