DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/23/21): MLB DFS Lineups

Happy Monday, Rotoballers! Unlike most of the teams in MLB today, we don't take any days off in DFS land. We are looking at a paltry six-game slate to start the final week of August, but that's okay. I tend to do better on smaller slates compared to the big, 14-game Friday night bonanzas. You […]

We have a solid Monday with seven games going on, but there is a matinee in Fenway so the FanDuel main slate is six games. Only one pitcher commands five figures for a salary tonight and he plays the Blue Jays, so there really is no clear-cut ace. It's slates like these that can get […]

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Kyle Gibson went eight strong innings against the San Diego Padres Sunday, earning his ninth win of the season.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Tyler Anderson delivered another solid outing Sunday, allowing two runs on eight hits and one walk to the Houston Astros in 5 1/3 innings.

Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager homered again Sunday, the fourth time he's done so in his last seven games. It was his only knock in five at-bats against the Astros, but it came at a big moment, giving the team a 6-2 lead in the top of the 11th. He now has a seven-game […]
