Introduction
Time to throw out the first pitch on a new week of MLB DFS action with an eight-game slate on Monday night. Three teams are the primary focus of my lineup on Monday as long as the weather cooperates. Let’s start off the week with a bang, or two or three or more.
Prices included for FanDuel and DraftKings to help find where the best value may be and positions are based on FanDuel.
So with that here is who will be swinging for the fences today…
