We have a nine-game MLB DFS main slate on Wednesday, August 31st, the last day of the month! That means plenty of prospects will be called up tomorrow, September 1st, so things in DFS could drastically change. For now, nothing changes and we move forward! Make sure to check the MLB Weather Center because there are always pop-up storm worries in the summer, MLB Vegas odds, and the MLB Lineups page to get confirmed lineups for tonight. To get projections and to build multiple lineups we have MLB DFS Projections and an MLB Lineup Generator plus check out the MLB tools page. Now let's get to it and here are my top plays for Monday's slate!
