MLB DFS Picks for FanDuel 9/15/21

On the MLB main slate for FanDuel tonight, we have 10 games to build our lineups around. As of now, there is only one serious weather situation to monitor, but there are a few other games to lightly follow. Julio Urías is the clear cut player who has the greatest chance of success on the mound, but there are plenty of other pitchers who are in good matchups as well. Also, there are plenty of great batters and stacks to utilize in your lineups. 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:

COL @ ATL - This is by far the game that carries the most weather risk. The now weakened outer portions of Nicholas could affect the game in terms of a delay or postponement, with the forecast showing light rain for awhile. Keep an eye on this game closer to lock.

CIN @ PIT - There will be rain in Pittsburgh, but it is likely to clear around the start of game time. A delayed start is possible, but postponement is extremely unlikely.

NYY @ BAL, STL @ NYM, CHC @ PHI - There are storms in the northeast today, but they should miss these ballparks.

Top Pitchers:

1. Julio Urías vs. ARI ($10300)

2. Joe Musgrove vs. SF ($9400)

3. Cal Quantrill vs. MIN ($8700)

4. Huascar Ynoa vs. COL ($8400)

5. Sean Manaea vs. KC ($9200)

6. Ranger Suárez vs. CHC ($8800)
