MLB DFS Picks for Fanduel 8/31/21

We have a loaded MLB main slate tonight on Fanduel as we have nearly every team in the league playing. In total, there are 13 games, with plenty of dominant aces and excellent stacks to build around. As usual with these big slates, there are also many cheaper options or stacks to utilize if you want to gain leverage on the field. 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:

PHI @ WSH - The outer portions of Ida may hit Washington during the scheduled game time. There is a moderate risk of delay or postponement, especially with how the Nationals call games. I would prefer to avoid the game, but you can play if you are up for the risk.


STL @ CIN - *Game has been postponed*




Top Pitchers:


1. Lucas Giolito vs. PIT ($10,200)

2. Walker Buehler vs. ATL ($11,300)

5. Blake Snell vs. ARI ($9,400)
