MLB DFS – Sample Lineup and Slate Overview:

Please note – this sample lineup is meant to be illustrative only and should not be used as a plug and play build. 

More from DFS

SP: Justin Verlander

SP: Adrian Houser

IF: Max Muncy

IF: Corey Seager

IF: Justin Turner

OF: Cody Bellinger

OF: AJ Pollock

OF: Joc Pederson

UTIL: Aaron Judge

UTIL: Jason Heyward

Slate Overview: I mentioned how you can easily build a Verlander and 6 Dodgers build with the punt savings on Houser as an SP2 and this is an idea of what that could look like with two $7.6K “one-off” bats in Judge/Heyward.

The one thing we HAVE to watch tonight – is weather. Watch the East Coast games in particular where we have rain issues across multiple parks this evening and that rain risk while it will not impact the Dodgers or Verlander, could impact Houser as there are serious storms expected in St. Louis.

My recommendation, get your builds done early today, have a pivot plan or line-up saved so you are not left scrambling right before lock when we get a better idea on the timing of these storms.

Good luck all!
