With seven games on the MLB DFS main slate there are a lot of different directions we can go here. Spending up at pitcher doesn't seem optimal but spending up at the dish does. Alex Wood is easily my favorite pitcher for all formats and considering Luis Patiño is the biggest favorite on the slate, he's not too far behind.
