Welcome to MLB DraftKings Saturday! If you’ve played MLB DFS before, you probably already know the strategy to take down a tourney – select the top two pitching plays and stack two teams in hopes that they score a whole bunch of runs. Much easier said than done. We have a monster 11-game main slate to work with coming out of the All-Star Break and plenty of top pitching options to choose from with Justin Verlander, Clayton Kershaw, and Madison Bumgarner making starts tonight.
As for the hitting, the Rangers-Indians game seems like a great target with a 10.5 over/under. The bats were alive last night at Arlington with the Indians topping the Rangers 9-8 so expect another night of heavy run totals there. The Royals and Twins may be an interesting game to look at as well with the second-highest over/under on the board at nine runs and two vulnerable pitchers in Lance Lynn and Jakob Junis squaring off.
Let’s first take a look at the pitching plays:
