Main DraftKings MLB picks September 5: Freddie Freeman is Batman

The early and showdown DraftKings MLB slates are underway, but we still have seven games left. Those make up the main DraftKings MLB tournaments. The pitching is thin in the middle, but at least we have a couple of good options left after the strong early slate.

Wind: 12 mph out to center in Atlanta

Hot/Humid: Pittsburgh(humid), Baltimore(humid), Houston(hot)

The best hitting weather for the DraftKings MLB main slate is in Houston. There are no west coast games at night, so this main slate is going to be over before most of you go to bed!

I had heavy exposure to Zac Gallen, which helped my chances of cashing. The two Gallen/Trevor Williams lines cashed thanks to a Cardinals stack paying off late. Junis and Dugger were duds.

The September callups do provide additional value throughout, but for all of those that play, it means an established part of the lineup gets a day off. Keep a close eye on the starting lineups before locking in your plays. As a result, many plays mentioned in this article will get a day off. With this coming out 16 hours before lineups lock, that is bound to happen.

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.
