Top MLB DFS Picks Today: DraftKings ft. Corey Seager, Connor Norby & more | August 29
With so many MLB teams off today and just 11 games to look at, Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) can be difficult. Even when all teams are plating, the choices, which matter significantly more in this fantasy setting, aren't easy. The picks have to be right every single day, and we're here to help you with that on a classic six-game slate.
Top Pitchers for MLB DFS August 29
Nathan Eovaldi ($10100 on DraftKings)
Nathan Eovaldi has been very solid for the Texas Rangers and has gone 9-7 with a 3.79 ERA, 128 strikeouts, and a 1.10 WHIP. The thing that makes him a great pick today isn't that, though, it's the fact that he's facing the Chicago White Sox, who are having a historically bad year.
Michael King ($10300 on DraftKings)
Michael King has been very good for the San Diego Padres this year. He is 11-7 with a 3.14 ERA (eighth-best in the MLB), 174 strikeouts (also eighth-best), and a 1.18 WHIP. Pick him today.
Sonny Gray ($9700 on DraftKings)
Sonny Gray has pitched quite well for the St. Louis Cardinals: 11 wins, 175 strikeouts, and a sterling 1.13 WHIP. His ERA is a little on the high side, but he does get to face the San Diego Padres today.
Top Hitters for MLB DFS August 29
Corey Seager ($5600 on DraftKings)
Corey Seager has been good all year, so the Rangers shortstop should be in DFS lineups most days of the week. The star player is hitting .277 with 29 home runs, 73 RBI, and a .863 OPS.
Francisco Lindor ($5700 on DraftKings)
Francisco Lindor is having an excellent all-around season, and his offense has been quite good. The New York Mets star is hitting .270 with 27 home runs, 78 RBI, and a .826 OPS.
Jake Burger ($5800 on DraftKings)
Jake Burger is one of the few Miami Marlins left who is offensively performing. The slugger has 25 home runs, 59 RBI, and a solid .774 OPS. Pick him today as he's one of the best options and not as expensive as some others.
Budget picks for MLB DFS August 29
Connor Norby ($4100 on DraftKings)
Connor Norby, in a smaller sample size, has hit well for the Miami Marlins. The second baseman has a .840 OPS, which is a difficult mark to find in this price range for DFS. Pick him up today.
Jackson Chourio ($4300 on DraftKings)
Jackson Chourio has been raking in the second half. In August, the Milwaukee Brewers star has 30 hits in 24 games, including 10 extra-base hits and 16 RBI during that time. He's a great pick.
Luis Robert Jr. ($4200 on DraftKings)
Luis Robert Jr. isn't having a great season, but he's only one removed from a 38-homer year and much better production. He has, however, been better of late. He has six hits in 20 at-bats over the last week for the Chicago White Sox.
