It may be hard to believe with all of the attention the NFL is getting, but are still MLB games and DFS contests happening. Here is a look at my recommendations for the eight-game Monday night slate on DraftKings, which includes a nice mix of aces on the mound and some reasonably priced hitters in good spots.
As always, be sure to pay close attention to the lineups when they are released and monitor the weather leading up to game time. For reference throughout the season, be sure to bookmark our overview of MLB Park Factors and how to Use Weather to Your Advantage in MLB DFS.

Jacob deGrom (NYM): $11,200 vs. ARI
The top high-priced ace on the slate to roster is DeGrom, who is pitching at home as a big Vegas favorite against the Diamondbacks. While DeGrom has been a little bit shaky in his last two outings, as he’s given up four runs in each start, he continues to pitch deep into games with the Mets still in playoff contention. DeGrom has shut down Diamondbacks hitters allowing a mere .203 wOBA with a 33.9% strikeout rate in 56 career at-bats. Lock in DeGrom in cash games.
