On this fine Thursday, June 9th evening, we have a five-game MLB DFS main slate on DraftKings and Yahoo! Fantasy and a six-game slate on FanDuel. FanDuel is including the Marlins/Nationals game, which means we get the return of Stephen Strasburg on their main slate! Outside of Strasburg, the likes of Gerrit Cole and Max Fried top the list of MLB DFS pitching options we should be prioritizing. On the offensive side of things, the household names such as Aaron Judge, José RamÃrez, and Ronald Acuña Jr. all stand out and all make sense as one-off's or in team stacks if you're looking to stack the Yankees, Indians and/or Braves. As of this writing, we have a night of zero weather concerns, but check back with our MLB Weather Center for more details surrounding the weather as we approach roster lock. To get all the confirmed lineups across baseball, check out the MLB Lineups page. To get projections and to generate one or multiple lineups, take a look at our MLB DFS Projections and MLB DFS Lineup Generator. Let's check out the rest of my favorite MLB DFS top picks and MLB DFS core plays!
