With just four day games and four night games on the slate, this is our lightest day of the season so far. If you’re looking to play a cash game, I prefer DraftKings because of the ability to make late changes to your lineup, but with so few contests, playing cash games on non-late swap sites is pretty risky.

After a postponement on Wednesday, Jake Arrieta will make his much-anticipated “first start after a no-hitter” today. He is clearly the top DFS pitcher, but obviously he’ll cost a ton if you want him. It will be interesting to see who is in the lineup for the Pirates and Rockies game after an extra-inning contest last night. The bullpens are depleted, and with two bad starters going, we could see a ton of runs once again. The lineups in Coors Field are likely to be a bit different than normal.

Let’s take a look at today’s MLB DFS Playbook, full of daily fantasy baseball picks, strategy and advice. Playbook PRO members get full access to today’s Playbook, along with optimal lineups.
