MLB Weather Today, 9/24

• New York Mets vs. Atlanta Braves

A pop-up shower is expected north of the ballpark. Given that, we can't rule out a delay, but it's unlikely. 

• Los Angeles Angels vs. Chicago White Sox

It looks like most of the rain will be pregame. During the game, the rain will be lighter and spotty. Chances are this game is played through it.

Below is a mock DraftKings classic slate lineup for the ten-game slate starting at 7:05 pm ET. 

I've added my favorite MLB DFS picks below and used many different MLB DFS projections to put together this lineup. 

With ten games, there's a lot to choose from. Feel free to pivot away from some of these players in the lineup if you feel strongly about someone else I've added to my player pool below. 

Ultimately, adding a salary stuffer like Jack Kochanowicz could be massive tonight. It allows us to add top-tier players like Matt Olson. Carlos Correa, Fernando Tatis, and Manny Machado.

MLB DFS Lineups: Core MLB DFS Pitchers
Logan Gilbert, Seattle Mariners

Logan Gilbert has struck out 36.9% of batters over the last 30 days. I'm not guaranteeing he will do that against the Astros. However, he's facing an Astros projected lineup that has only hit a .168 ISO and wOBA of .317. 

It's unlikely the Astros have Yordan Alvarez in the lineup, so only Kyle Tucker and Jon Singleton have really done damage against righties with this projected group. 

Meanwhile, Gilbert has held his last 122 batters to a .266 wOBA, earning nearly 16% of swinging strikes while giving up under 26% of fly balls. I don't always recommend fading the Astros. Yet, the MLB DFS projections believe Gilbert will have a solid performance tonight. 

Brandon Pfaadt, Arizona Diamondbacks

Brandon Pfaadt has been a little unlucky recently. The Arizona righty has struck out 29.5% of batters and has allowed just 7.1% of walks over the last 30 days. 

Yet, he's still allowed a .180 ISO and wOBA of .385 to his last 112 batters. 

Pfaadt has even earned 47.1% of ground balls against righties.

He'll battle a Giants lineup that should have eight batters with a high strikeout rate against righties in the last 30 days. Pfaadt should add a bunch of strikeouts tonight. But he's also facing a Giants group that has hit just a .294 wOBA with a strikeout rate of 27.1%. 

With the Diamondbacks fighting for an NL Wild Card spot, look for Pfaadt to deliver.  

Jack Kochanowicz, Los Angeles Angels

You can never go wrong with fading the White Sox. 

The right-handed Jack Kochanowicz will take the hill for the Angels tonight. He's not a heavy strikeout thrower. However, he's held his last 99 batters to a .140 ISO and wOBA of .320 and has induced 45.7% of ground balls with only 17.3% of fly balls allowed. 

Meanwhile, he'll take on a White Sox projected lineup that has hit a .108 ISO and wOBA of .254 with 27.5% of strikeouts and only 4% of walks over the last 30 days against righties. 

Kochanowicz is a solid sleeper at a low price. It's one of the MLB DFS plays I won't be afraid to use. 

MLB DFS Lineup Picks: Hitters

Highest Expected Run Totals 

• St. Louis Cardinals (5.5, +105) vs. Colorado Rockies
• Colorado Rockies (4.5, -125) vs. St. Louis Cardinals
• Minnesota Twins (4.5, -120) vs. Miami Marlins
• New York Yankees (4.5, -110) vs. Baltimore Orioles

MLB DFS Lineups: Core MLB DFS Hitters

Matt Olson, 1B, Atlanta Braves

All eyes are on the Braves-Mets series. It's got significant implications for the NL Wild Card.

That said, the Mets will start Luis Severino. While the right-hander has been excellent overall, he's struggled against lefties over the last 30 days. 

Lefties have hit a .197 ISO and wOBA of .360 with 52.9% of hard contact against Severino over the last 30 days. 

He's also induced only 31.4% of ground balls against lefties and has allowed more than 29% of fly balls in the last 30 days. 

Meanwhile, Matt Olson, the Braves left-handed hitter, has socked a .329 ISO and wOBA of .480 against his last 88 righties. He's also struck out fewer times than he's walked against righties in the previous month. 

Look for Olson to connect on one. He's one of the best MLB DFS plays at 1B. 

Manuel Margot, OF, Carlos Correa, SS, Carlos Santana, 1B, Kyle Farmer, 2B, Minnesota Twins

The Twins have four red-hot righties against lefties over the last 30 days. 

Check out these stats against lefties over the last 30 days for some of the Twins bats:

• Manuel Margot: .188 ISO, .387 wOBA
• Carlos Correa: .333 ISO, .530 wOBA
• Carlos Santana: .391 ISO, .356 wOBA
• Kyle Farmer: .346 ISO, .479 wOBA

These four righties will take on Ryan Weathers of the Marlins. Weathers is a lefty who has allowed a .194 ISO and wOBA of .320 to his last 249 righties. Since returning from injury, he's also given up a .562 ISO and wOBA of .505 to his previous 16 righties. 

You can trust any MLB DFS picks on the Twins for tonight's slate. 

Fernando Tatis, OF Manny Machado, 3B, San Diego Padres

The Padres are also in a heated race for an NL Wild Card spot. They'll take on Landon Knack of the Dodgers, a right-handed pitcher who has struggled against righties throughout the season.
 
Knack has allowed a .250 ISO and wOBA of .344 to his first 121 righties faced this season. However, he's allowed a .273 ISO and wOBA of .429 to his last 25 righties faced.

Over the last 30 days, the two big Padres righties have destroyed other righties. 

• Fernando Tatis: .333 ISO, .420 wOBA
• Manny Machado: .319 ISO, .409 wOBA

Look for the two big guns to power the Padres past the Dodgers tonight.
