It’s an exciting Saturday ahead on DraftKings with the return of College Football DFS tonight. Why not take a few minutes to fill out a featured slate lineup (or three) for the big 13-game slate while you sweat your CFB squads. This Saturday’s MLB action will still have lots of cash up for grabs. I’ll go through some of my favorite plays of the day to help get you into the monies in your cash games and tournaments. Just make sure you don’t have too many adult beverages during so you can still be alert enough for any last-minute lineup releases (looking at you, Dave Roberts) and unexpected changes due to September call-ups beginning today.

Pitcher

Jon Gray (COL): $8,800 @ SD

After a rocky start (pun intended) earlier in the week, Gray (-149) gets to face the Padres. I can think of no better NL opponent than the lowly San Diego team that ranks bottom-four in team OPS, ISO, wOBA and wRC+ against RHP since June. In that time and since being recalled from Triple-A, Gray has given you more good starts than bad as I highly doubt you were using him at home to begin with. He’s only walked three batters in the last four games and should come through with a solid outing against a team that’s not good and who he just produced 20+ DK points against last week.
