Top MLB DFS Pitchers

As we always do, I will rank each pitcher mentioned in my article between a 1-10, I will also mention my “gem of the day” which is a mid-low tier arm that I think has the most upside. There are several ways to approach these slates.

This is an interesting slate overall, and while I do not love all of the pitching options on it, I believe that we have some great options to build GPP lineups. Cole should come in as an extremely chalky option, and for good reason. Houser is one of my favorite plays on the day, especially when you consider how bad difficult it is to find value plays towards the end of the season.

If you are playing cash games, and you are not pitching Cole, than I would suggest going with him, since he is probably one of the most safe plays, and allows you to make up for the lack of depth into games, with high powered bats.

MLB DFS Pitcher Rankings:

Gerrit Cole – 10

Luis Castillo – 9

Chris Bassitt – 8.5

Adrian Houser – 9.5

Gem of the day – Houser

If you guys have any questions please feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @LumberjackDFS, this is a great slate for pitchers which I am very excited to play.

A good bit of advice is to run these plays in different tourney lineups, with various stacks, and correlate your lineups to maximize your chances of winning a tourney. Best of luck to all from all of us here at FanSided Fantasy.
