Top MLB DFS Pitcher for DraftKings, FanDuel
Bryce Miller, SP - SEA ($9.5K DK/$10.7K FD)
Bryce Miller will square off against the Los Angeles Angels tonight at home in T-Mobile Park. This is one of the best parks in MLB. The Angels have the lowest implied run total on the slate tonight at 3.5 runs. Miller is projected for a 31.2% K% and 6.37 strikeouts in this matchup.
Miller has been tremendous since his return from the IL. He has a 2.61 xFIP, 33.1% K%, 0.72 WHIP, and a 1.38 HR/9 this season. The Angels are a great matchup because of their high rate of swing-and-miss. They have a 24.8% K%, .713 OPS, and a 99 wRC+ against RHP this season. Miller is the best option tonight, and frankly it's not close.
Top MLB DFS Stack for DraftKings, FanDuel
Tampa Bay Rays (Model-Projected IRT of 5.2 runs) vs. Stephen Kolek
For the second night in a row, the Tampa Bay Rays are a featured stack in this article, having made very few appearances in this section all season. Tonight they will face Stephen Kolek at Kauffman Stadium, where it will be in the upper 80s with a 10+ mph wind blowing out to left-center field.
