MLB DFS Playbook: September 8
MLB Weather Updates
Lots of weather concerns here today. Rain in the Northeast has the matchup between the Brewers/Yankees, Marlins/Phillies, Dodgers/Nationals and Orioles/Red Sox with some concerns that could lead to delays. Make sure you check out the latest weather reports if you have exposure to these games.
DFS Lineup Construction Thoughts
Chalk pitching is going to be attacking the Oakland Athletics, Colorado Rockies and Cleveland Guardians tonight. Not a ton of value when it comes to pitching tonight so look for the value hitters to be prevalent in the lineups this evening.
