FanDuel MLB DFS Breakdown: Saturday 8/10

Welcome to a special Saturday 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. Back by popular demand, I’m ready to do a complete slate breakdown for both FanDuel slates today, 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!

Yesterday’s picks were a mixed batch as Corey Dickerson came through for the cash core, but George Springer and Gio Urshela didn’t do much. In fact, the Yankees and Astros were both pretty big let downs as stacks and the one team I didn’t have much exposure to was the Red Sox, who scored 16 runs which were seven more runs than the next team, Philadelphia’s 9 runs.

Today we have a classic split-slate Saturday, with a 5-game early slate and a 10-game main slate on FanDuel. My goal is to help you get your process started with my favorite plays for both cash games and GPPs, and I will be covering both slates for you.

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 and today I’ll include my GPP sample lineups for both slates at the end of the article with my final thoughts.
