Although quite a few teams, some with big-name stars that would be great for DFS, are off on Thursday, there are still plenty of good MLB players you can pick from. If you're a Daily Fantasy Sports player, we've got a guide for you to put together the best lineup for Aug. 15.
Top Pitchers for MLB DFS August 15
Max Fried ($8000 on DraftKings, $8600 in FanDuel)
Max Fried does have a challenging matchup today against the San Francisco Giants, but he has been really good this year. He has seven wins, a 3.56 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 110 strikeouts.
Jack Flaherty ($10000 on DraftKings, $10800 on FanDuel)
Jack Flaherty has been very dependable for both the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Dodgers so far, posting a 9-5 record to go along with a brilliant 2.97 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 150 strikeouts. Pick him today.
Trending
Logan Webb ($8800 on DraftKings, $9700 on FanDuel)
Logan Webb has been great for the San Francisco Giants: 10 wins, 3.32 ERA, 133 strikeouts, 1.25 WHIP. Despite a challenging matchup with the Atlanta Braves, he's one of today's best options.
Top Hitters for MLB DFS August 15
Shohei Ohtani ($6700 on DraftKings, $4800 on FanDuel)
It's a day that Shohei Ohtani is scheduled to play, which makes it a good time to put him in DFS lineups. His 2024 stat line is patently absurd: .295 average, 37 home runs (second in MLB), 86 RBI and an even 1.000 OPS for the Dodgers.
Mookie Betts ($6200 on DraftKings, $4000 on FanDuel)
Mookie Betts has been quite good since returning from injury, mashing a home run and going six for 14 in his at-bats with five three RBI and three runs scored in just three games. Pick him up for today.
Francisco Lindor ($5500 on DraftKings, $3800 on FanDuel)
Francisco Lindor is quietly putting together an excellent season once more. His season stat line includes a .263 average, 21 home runs, 69 RBI and a .801 OPS. The New York Mets star is also 11/26 in his last seven days.
Budget picks for MLB DFS August 15
Justin Turner ($4300 on DraftKings, $2700 on FanDuel)
Justin Turner has been playing pretty well since coming over to the Seattle Mariners. In August, he has six RBI, five hits (two extra-base hits), and two walks. It's hard to find better production in this price range.
Michael Harris II ($4000 on DraftKings, $3000 on FanDuel)
Michael Harris II officially made his return to the Atlanta Braves after injury and hit a home run. He's clearly playing pretty well after his rehab assignment, and he's a great budget option for Aug. 15.
Jackson Chourio ($4200 on DraftKings, $3000 on FanDuel)
Jackson Chourio is having a really good season, hitting .272 with 14 home runs. In the last week, the Milwaukee Brewers star is seven for 26 with two home runs, so he's a good pick for today.
