MLB DFS Pitching Primer: Wednesday, 8/14

Welcome back to the Tuesday 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!

Today we have a small 6-game main slate on both sites. I’m focusing on the main slate tonight even though there are a good number of afternoon games. At this stage of the summer, I think it pays to be picky about which slates you play and at some point, you have to make sure you have enough time to properly research the players you want to roster otherwise you are just donating.

I am going to recommend four different pitchers today. I’m trying to keep my player pool relatively small here and keep limit my exposure on this small slate.

I do my best to give you some different options at various price points every day and I’ll always include my cash and GPP rankings at the end of the article with my final thoughts.

"The goal of the 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."

Let’s start with my favorite high-priced option for your cash games. He’s the most expensive pitcher on the slate but may be well worth paying up for tonight.
