Welcome to the Wednesday edition of MLB DFS Picks and Pivots, a fantasy baseball column focused on helping you find the best core lineup for this slate of DFS action!

For those of you finding us for the first time, the concept behind MLB DFS Picks and Pivots is to give you a first look at the day’s MLB DFS slate, including our top picks, plays and pivots, using FantasyDraft pricing as a reference to help you build your best fantasy baseball line-up and win big.

Picks and Pivots is not a simple “best plays” column but rather it focuses on slate strategy and roster construction to help give you insight into how I will look to play this slate.

After a truly embarrassing Monday, we bounced back in a big way on Tuesday as a result of a 6 man Dodgers stack that erupted for 15 runs and had 6 batters put up 20+ fantasy points on the night. I am always a huge proponent of these 6 man stacks on FantasyDraft as when they hit in GPP’s, you are looking at a bankroll building kind of night and you hope those hits can withstand when nights like Monday happen when the Brewers bats got shutout.

Picks and Pivots is not a simple “best plays” column but rather it focuses on slate strategy and roster construction to help give you insight into how I will look to play this slate. The goal of this article is to dig through the slate, highlight our top plays and help you identify the best slate strategy across your MLB DFS line-ups.
