With a slew of 4:00 pm EST games today, the featured slate on DraftKings gives us eight games to construct our rosters. There is a clear-cut top option on the board, but if you want to get exposure to Coors Field, you might have to look elsewhere. DraftKings still gives away plenty of cash in MLB contests, so you can still grind some baseball DFS while others are getting ready for football. I’ll go through some of the best plays on today’s slate and see if we can’t pad our bankrolls in time for Week 1 NFL action tomorrow. Let’s go!

Pitcher
Noah Syndergaard (NYM): $10,200 vs. PHI
Thor (-144) against Philly in the last outing wasn’t as bad as the game logs would indicate. He gave up three quick runs in the first inning and coasted through the rest of the game, striking out the last two batters he faced before being pulled at 115 pitches. His first start against them way back in April also doesn’t look that great at just 15.4 DK points, but again, he was yanked due to high pitch count. He whiffed seven Phillies in just four innings in that outing. If he can keep the pitch count down in this one, you can expect a dominate outing. He’s in play in all formats with major K upside tonight.
