MLB DFS Picks for FanDuel 9/29/21

Last night, we smashed our first day back from our short three day break from MLB action on the larger sized slate, and we have another big slate ahead of us tonight. There are 13 total games on this slate with only one weather concern, but we should be good in all spots. With prominent names like Scherzer, Cole, and Rodón taking the mound tonight, you may need to look to some value stacks for your hitters, although there are some quality discount pitchers as well. Let's dive in!
