MLB DFS Picks for Fanduel 9/1/21

We are into September baseball! The MLB slate on Fanduel tonight was initially created with 10 games, but with Phillies-Nationals already being postponed, we have 9 games to build our player pools around. There is no shortage of elite pitching options as Scherzer, Cole, Sale, Rodón, and Gausman are slated to start tonight, but there is a huge drop-off in talent after those guys. Let's dive in!
