MLB DFS Picks for FanDuel 4/7/22

Baseball is finally back! Just a short awhile ago, we were unsure if we would see the MLB at all this season, but here we are. The MLB main slate is 7 games today with both the NYY-BOS and MIN-SEA games postponed. I had a ton of success in my first year of MLB DFS a season ago, so I couldn't be more excited for the return. Let's dive into my breakdown of the opening day MLB main slate on FanDuel!
