The DraftKings MLB Main Slate begins at 7:05 p.m. ET with 12 games and a fascinating strategic decision at pitcher: pay all the way up for the slate’s most dominant arm, or sacrifice some raw projection in exchange for salary relief and lower ownership? Jacob Misiorowski is the clear headliner. He has the strongest combination of run prevention and strikeout upside on the slate, but he also carries a $12,500 salary and will likely attract significant ownership. That makes him

Welcome to today’s Core Plays. Instead of giving out a single lineup that may be dead by first pitch, I’m focusing on the players and stacks I believe offer the best combination of ceiling, matchup, and tournament-winning upside. Important: This article is being posted early in the day. Starting lineups, weather conditions, Vegas totals, and ownership projections can change before lock. Always verify lineups before entering contests. Pitcher Core Jacob Misiorowski If you’re p

Tonight’s DraftKings MLB Main Slate starts at 7:07 p.m. ET, and this is the kind of slate where offense should be treated as the priority. We have elite hitting environments, warm weather, power-friendly parks, and several pitchers who either allow hard contact or are facing dangerous handedness matchups.

Tuesday’s DraftKings MLB Main Slate gives us exactly the kind of slate DFS players love and hate at the same time. We have premium arms. We have uncomfortable pitching decisions. We have Coors Field. We have another elite hitting environment in Las Vegas. And we have enough ownership concentration that roster construction will matter just as much as identifying the best plays. The biggest question of the slate is simple: Do we eat the obvious bats, or do we find leverage arou

Top Pitchers and Stacks for Cash, Small-Field, and Large-Field GPPs The 10-game DraftKings MLB main slate on June 7 has a pretty clear theme: there are a few strong arms at the top, but the slate gets interesting because some of the best roster construction paths come from mid-tier pitchers and offenses that are not necessarily the most obvious “name brand” stacks. Using my uploaded projection and top-stack data as the base, I ran my own slate simulation and contest-fit scori

The 6/1/26 DraftKings MLB Main Slate sets up as a fascinating single-entry puzzle. For larger-field multi-entry contests, you can get wild with lower-owned stacks and fragile pitching combinations. But for a $121 single-entry contest with 413 total entries and 99 paid spots, the goal is different: build for ceiling while avoiding the kind of unnecessary risk that sinks a lineup before the bats even get rolling. After running the slate through a large simulation set and focusi
