DraftKings MLB picks August 26: Sonny with a chance of Gio

The Braves and Rockies have a makeup in Coors for the matinee, so that is only available on the DraftKings MLB showdown slate. DraftKings MLB also added a “happy hour” slate to this including the three 7:05 eastern games with the matinee. Those three 7:05 games also are in the main DraftKings MLB slate, which is a solid seven games tonight.

More from FanSided

Rain: Milwaukee(moderate), Miami(slight), Kansas City(moderate early)

Wind: 18 mph in from right in Milwaukee, 14 mph crosswind in Kansas City

Hot/Humid: Milwaukee(humid), Philadelphia(humid), Miami(miserable), Kansas City(very humid), San Francisco(humid), San Diego(humid)

The roof will likely be closed in Milwaukee and Miami. The Royals have more of a chance of a delayed start at this point, but keep up to date on this one. Pop up storms could linger.

I didn’t have time to get an article out for yesterday, but I put in a couple of lineups with Matz, Reynaldo Lopez, and Brock Burke as my three rotating pitchers. They all cashed thanks to heavy Cleveland exposure, namely Franimal and the Plawecki punt, and Astros.

These tips are based mostly on past performance. This is a nice tool for building a lineup, but should not be the only pieces of information you use. We have plenty of writers on here who give you relevant information no matter which site you play on, and we all attack the slate from different angles.
