MLB DFS Picks for Fanduel 8/28/21

We have 9 games for tonight's MLB main slate which provides us with a healthy amount of options at both the pitcher and hitter spots. There is only one dominant ace on the slate in Lance Lynn, but there are a number of cheaper pitchers that are viable as options. With the lack of elite pitching talent, there are many excellent hitting spots as well. 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:

MIL @ MIN - Severe storms are expected to hammer the ballpark area after the first pitch. There is a high-risk for an in-game delay or a postponement.

TB @ BAL - There will be storms around Baltimore during game time, but they should miss the ballpark. There is only a small risk of a delay or postponement.

STL @ PIT, CHC @ CHW, SFG @ ATL - Light rain, but very small risk in all these spots.
