MLB DFS Picks and Player Props for Sunday
Players participating in MLB DFS today should exercise caution with their lineups due to potential pitcher changes aimed at preserving health ahead of trades. The main slate on DraftKings kicks off at 1:35 p.m. ET, featuring nine games, while FanDuel's slate includes two extra matchups: Kansas City at Colorado and Milwaukee at the Los Angeles Angels.
George Kirby of Seattle is projected for 4.5 strikeouts, but recent performance and trade rumors suggest he may not pitch deeply if he starts. Max Scherzer of Toronto, despite being a renowned strikeout pitcher, has struggled to reach five strikeouts this season, with his last occurrence on September 24 of the previous year. He faces a Cardinals team known for its low strikeout rate.
In contrast, Gerrit Cole of New York is expected to exceed his strikeout prop of 6.5, having achieved this in four of his last five starts. The Cubs, his opponent today, have a notable strikeout rate of 23% as a team in July.
