MLB DFS Pitcher Chart & Lineup Advice – 9/6/2017
Last Updated: 9/6/2017 –Â 6:45 AM CT
The pitcher chart is located under my top plays!Â
Top Plays
Carlos Carrasco
Carrasco will face the White Sox in Guaranteed Rate Field. Carrasco is the biggest favorite on the slate and it’s not close. He has the lowest OTT on the slate and the White Sox rank 25th in wRC+ against righties. With the White Sox strikeout rate of 23.3%, Carrasco has upside in this matchup. Although he’s the highest priced pitcher of the day, he seems fairly safe and has enough upside for tournaments.
Blake Snell
Snell faces the Twins in Tropicana Field. Snell is a large favorite in this matchup and has the second lowest OTT. The Twins are a middling offense against lefties but take a huge park hit. Snell is priced up at $9,600 on DraftKings, way more than I want to pay for him in cash games, but he may go low owned in tournaments. With his upside and low ownership, I like Snell in GPPs.
Tyler Skaggs
Skaggs will face the Athletics who rank 26th in wRC+ against lefties. Skaggs is a modest favorite and the A’s have the 5th highest strikeout rate in the league against lefties. For just $6,800, Skaggs is a great SP2 in tournaments, and a potential cash game option.
