MLB DFS Picks for Fanduel 9/8/21

We have a normal sized 9 game MLB slate ahead of us tonight on Fanduel. This is one of the more tricky slates to tackle, as there is no obvious pitcher play, and there are weather risks in the top hitting spots. Due to that, there should be a good amount of variety on the mound and with bats. 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:

WAS @ ATL - There will be scattered thunderstorms in the area over the course of the entire game. This is a high risk spot for a delay or postponement.

KC @ BAL - Like Atlanta, there will be scattered thunderstorms in the area, but they won't arrive until the middle innings. This is another risk spot for delay or postponement.

Top Pitchers:

1. Yu Darvish vs. LAA ($9,000)

2. Frankie Montas vs. CSW ($9,000)

3. Adam Wainwright vs. LAD ($10,000)

4. Vladimir Gutierrez vs. CHC ($8,300)

5. Nathan Eovaldi vs. TB ($9,700)

6. Shane McClanahan vs. BOS ($9,300)

GPP Darts - Alek Manoah vs. NYY ($9,600), Luis Gil vs. TOR ($8,600), Touki Toussaint vs. WSH ($8,000)

Top Stacks:

1. Braves (weather risk)

2. Athletics

3. Royals (weather risk)

4. Orioles (weather risk)

5. Padres

GPP Stacks - Reds, Angels
