As already mentioned in today's MLB DFS Playbook, we have a pretty consistent slate across the three major sites (DraftKings, Yahoo, FanDuel). The Mets, led by the hot bats of Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso are my top stack today, but I also like the Padres as another option. We appear to be relatively free of mlb weather concerns for the most part, but keep an eye on the latest MLB weather report before making daily fantasy baseball lineups. Don't forget to check out the MLB lineups page before locking in MLB daily fantasy lineups. Plus, use the MLB daily projections, our MLB DFS Optimizer, and the rest of our MLB DFS lineup tools before setting your lineups. Now let's look at our MLB DFS top picks for Tuesday, August 2nd.
