MLB DFS Picks for FanDuel 4/8/22

We have arrived at day two of the MLB season! In yesterday's article, I was all over Tyler O'Neill who ultimately homered and drove in 5 runs. Unfortunately, I was also all over Corbin Burnes and the Padres who both struggled and kept me out of the cash. I am confident that today's 5 game slate will turn things around. Let's dive into my breakdown of the MLB main slate on FanDuel!

REMINDER: RTs on the article post on twitter at @SportsVerseHQ are appreciated, as well as following my personal Twitter, @cobioconnell. If you would like to see my lineup package for the NBA/NFL/MLB seasons, message me there. Thank you!

Weather Concerns:

NYM @ WAS - Rain showers are possible throughout this game, but the risk spot is relatively low. Low to moderate risk of delay, postponement is very unlikely.
