The short six-game MLB DFS main slate gets rolling at a traditional 7:05 ET start time on DraftKings and FanDuel with a board that looks fairly ripe for opportunities at the plate. The pitching slate is not entirely without options but there are several juicy situations for power and run creation upside that should yield points from numerous sources. The scoring on the mound seems somewhat more straightforward today, there are a pair of premium starters at the very top of the board in good matchups for MLB DFS scoring followed by a short group of playable mid-range options before things give way to chaos and lousiness from the middle to the bottom of the board. This has the makings of a slate on which it makes sense to focus on a concentrated group of pitchers with a broad spread across possible outcomes in the primed hitting situations.
Main Slate Power Index – 8/03/23
The power index represents a team’s opportunity for home run upside in the matchup against the scheduled starting pitcher. This is not a direct guideline for stacking, but it can be utilized to determine the most likely sources of power-based contact, hitters who are not homering are frequently hitting doubles and driving in runs, and providing valuable MLB DFS scoring. The “Full” column averages our home run opportunity score for each player in the lineup from 1-9, while the “Top 6” column averages only hitters 1-6, where teams typically place their most significant bats.
