MLB DFS Picks for Fanduel 8/27/21

You won't find any MLB slates larger than this one as all 30 teams will be playing tonight! Since every team is playing, there are limitless lineup combinations you can construct around the top pitchers and stacks. However, there are numerous weather concerns you need to be aware of. Let's dive in!

REMINDER: If you would like the lineup that I will be using, RT the article post on Twitter at @SportsVerseHQ, DM @cobioconnell, and follow both accounts.

Weather Concerns:

WAS @ NYM - Flash flood warning around the ballpark. There is a high risk for delay or postponement.

TBR @ BAL - This spot now looks better than it did earlier. Storms will still be lingering, so a delay or postponement is possible, but not extremely likely.

ARI @ PHI - Like Baltimore, this spot looks better than it did earlier. There will still be storms in the Philly area, so a delay or postponement is still within the realm of possibility.

MIL @ MIN - There will be many ugly storms in the area around game time. It is uncertain if these storms will reach the park, but if they do, there is a high risk of delay or postponement.

STL @ PIT - There are storms in the area around game time, but should move out relatively quickly. Delay is possible, postponement is unlikely.

SFG @ ATL - Pop-up storms over the ballpark are possible, but they should die quickly. Like Pittsburgh, a delay is possible, but postponement is unlikely.

TOR @ DET - Storms are possible in the area, but there isn't nearly as much of a risk for delay or postponement as other areas, but it is possible.

BOS @ CLE - Storms are possible in the area, but there isn't nearly as much of a risk for delay or postponement as other areas, but it is possible.

Top Hitters:

There are too many good hitters to list out today since every team is playing. Essentially, any hitters from any of the stacks listed above can be put in your player pool. As I have said in this article, look out for weather! It is very likely that a game or two will be postponed.
