Top MLB DFS Picks for 12th August: DraftKings and FanDuel ft. Teoscar Hernandez, Aaron Judge & more
Though not all teams are on the schedule, plenty of elite players are available for MLB DFS players. There are also a few really strong starting pitchers tabbed to start, so it could be a really good day for Daily Fantasy Sports players. Here are the ones to watch.
Top Pitchers for MLB DFS August 12
Chris Sale ($10500 on DraftKings, $11200 on FanDuel)
Chris Sale is so good this season that it doesn't matter who he's facing. The Atlanta Braves star should be in DFS lineups every time thanks to his unbelievable stat line: 13-3, 2.75 ERA, 165 strikeouts and 1.00 WHIP.
Blake Snell ($9300 on DraftKings, $10200 on FanDuel)
Blake Snell is pitching very well of late. The San Francisco Giants ace has missed some time, but his recent starts include a 10-strikeout outing and a no-hitter in the first complete game of his career.
Luis Gil ($9000 on DraftKings, $10800 on FanDuel)
Luis Gil has been arguably the New York Yankees' best starter this year: 12-5 record, 3.06 ERA, 138 strikeouts and 1.11 WHIP. He's also facing the Chicago White Sox, which makes him a must-start player.
Top Hitters for MLB DFS August 12
Aaron Judge ($8900 on DraftKings, $4700 on FanDuel)
It's a day in which the Yankees are scheduled to play, which means Aaron Judge is an absolute must for DFS. His stat line is absurd: .328 average, 42 home runs, 106 RBIs and 1.160 OPS. He is leading baseball in all of those categories except average, where he is second.
Rafael Devers ($6000 on DraftKings, $3700 on FanDuel)
Rafael Devers is hitting .300 with 25 home runs, 71 RBIs and an OPS creeping closer to 1.000 every day. He's top 21 in all those categories, so the Boston Red Sox star is one of today's best pickups.
Corey Seager ($5400 on DraftKings, $3500 on FanDuel)
Corey Seager has hit well of late, including a multi-hit game on Sunday for the Texas Rangers. All told, the shortstop is batting .274 with 25 home runs, 61 RBIs and an .852 OPS.
Budget picks for MLB DFS August 12
Corbin Carroll ($4600 on DraftKings, $3300 on FanDuel)
Corbin Carroll is finally resembling the hitter who won Rookie of the Year in 2023. The Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder's season stat line looks a lot better than it used to, and he's nine for 35 in August with 10 runs scored and five extra-base hits.
Adolis Garcia ($4100 on DraftKings, $3100 on FanDuel)
Adolis Garcia has 18 home runs and 56 RBIs this year for the Rangers. Those kind of numbers are hard to find in this price range, so he is one of today's best budget picks.
Teoscar Hernandez ($4500 on DraftKings, $3600 on FanDuel)
Teoscar Hernandez should probably not be this cheap for DFS. He is hitting .275 with 26 home runs, 79 RBIs and an .850 OPS. Pick him up before he gets too expensive.
