Good morning FAmily! Happy Labor weekend and the last Sunday before the NFL takes center stage. So no better time to watch major league baseball and play some MLB DFS than today. FanDuel will both be carrying 10 games and locking at 12:10pm (COL/CIN game) ET, DraftKings locks at 1:35pm ET with nine games and Yahoo Fantasy does their normal thing and covers the entire day starting at 12:05pm ET. Max Fried, George Kirby and Carlos Carrasco will be the popular arms of today's slate but we need to watch the weather in Atlanta. The Mets led by Pete Alonso and Starling Marte and Rafael Devers and the Red Sox are the top two offenses per Vegas implied runs. Make sure to check the MLB Weather Center because there are weather concerns across the entire slate, especially in Atlanta, Detroit and Cincinnati, 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 Projections and an MLB Lineup Generator plus check out the Fantasy Alarm MLB tools page. Now let's get to it and here are my top plays for Sunday afternoon…
