Top Pitchers for MLB DFS August 13

Kevin Gausman ($9000 on DraftKings, $8800 on FanDuel)

Kevin Gausman has had a bit of a down year, though the Toronto Blue Jays star does have 10 wins and 121 strikeouts. Despite his struggles, he is on the mound to face the lowly Los Angeles Angels. That's as good a matchup as any today.

Michael King ($9500 on DraftKings, $9800 on FanDuel)

Pick Michael King today (Imagn)

Michael King has been excellent for the San Diego Padres: 9-6, 3.34 ERA, 151 strikeouts and 1.18 WHIP. All those numbers are good, but he also gets to face the offensively challenged Pittsburgh Pirates today which sweetens the deal.

Nestor Cortes ($8400 on DraftKings, $8600 on FanDuel)

Nestor Cortes has not had a fantastic season so far with a 5-10 record, 4.42 ERA, and 1.23 WHIP. Nevertheless, any starter facing the Chicago White Sox is a solid pick for DFS.

Top Hitters for MLB DFS August 13

Freddie Freeman ($5100 on DraftKings, $3700 on FanDuel)

Pick Freddie Freeman today (Imagn)

Freddie Freeman is someone who should be on the DFS radar most days, since he is hitting very well this year: .286 average, 17 home runs, 71 RBI, .882 OPS. The Los Angeles Dodgers star is a good pick today.

Mookie Betts ($6100 on DraftKings, $3700 on FanDuel)

Mookie Betts made his return from injury last night in classic fashion with a monster two-run home run. He has missed a lot of time but seemed not to miss a beat, so he should be back in daily lineups now.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. ($5500 on DraftKings, $3700 on FanDuel)

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is on fire right now. The Blue Jays star is hitting .321 with 23 home runs, 76 RBI, and a .938 OPS. All those numbers are among the 20 best marks from all MLB hitters this year.

Budget picks for MLB DFS August 13

Jake McCarthy ($3900 on DraftKings, $2900 on FanDuel)

Jake McCarthy is, in a smaller sample size, hitting .306 with an OPS of .832. Those numbers may come down a little as the season progresses, but while he's hitting at that level, he is a steal in this price range.

Jackson Chourio ($4000 on DraftKings, $3000 on FanDuel)

Jackson Chourio should be a DFS pick today (Imagn)

Jackson Chourio does a little bit of everything for the Milwaukee Brewers with a .269 average and 50 RBI. He also has 16 stolen bases this year, so he's a great budget pick.

Matt Wallner ($4000 on DraftKings, $3200 on FanDuel)

Minnesota Twins outfielder Matt Wallner is off to a hot start. Though it's only through 95 at-bats, he is hitting .274 with a 1.007 OPS. Those would both be excellent marks over a full season, so take advantage of his start.
