Top MLB DFS Picks Today: DraftKings and FanDuel ft. Fernando Tatis Jr., Michael Harris II & more | October 2

The second game of all four Wild Card Series might be one of the last times fantasy players are left with a four-game slate and multiple options. They'll look to minimize the common picks to gain an advantage over others. Here's looking at the best picks for October 2nd.

MLB DFS Best Pitchers October 2

Hunter Brown (8300 on DraftKings, 9700 in Fanduel)

Hunter Brown gets his first postseason start for the Houston Astros. The pitcher had just one start where he earned more than two runs in all of August and September.

Sean Manaea (8200 on DraftKings, 9100 on Fanduel)

Sean Manaea was consistent throughout the season, ending with a 12-6, 3.47 ERA record. Another strong performance can see the Mets through in two games against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Joe Musgrove (8000 on DraftKings, 10500 on Fanduel)

The Padres can sweep the Atlanta Braves, with Joe Musgrove starting on the mound. The starter lowered his regular season 5.20 to season-end 3.88 in the second half thanks to three scoreless outings in September.

Best Hitters MLB DFS October 2

Fernando Tatis Jr. (5600 on DraftKings, 4300 on Fanduel)

With the bat, San Diego trusts Fernando Tatis Jr. to come big, as the outfielder went yard in the opener on Tuesday. After an injury that kept him out for months, Tatis had batted at .267 last month.

Gunnar Henderson (5800 on DraftKings, 3900 on Fanduel)

Gunnar Henderson just earned one walk in the opener against the Royals but the Orioles shortstop will be the main man after he went 30-for-95 with an .922 OPS in September.

Michael Harris II (4900 on DraftKings, 2900 on Fanduel)

The Braves outfielder went 2-4 in a losing effort against the Padres on Tuesday. He will look for a similar performance and some more help from the lineup looking to avoid a sweep.

Best Budget picks MLB DFS October 2

Jackson Merrill (4600 on DraftKings, 3300 on Fanduel)

Padres Rookie of the Year candidate Jackson Merrill got his first postseason hit on Tuesday. He hit .309 in September.

Garrett Mitchell (3600 on DraftKings, 2800 on Fanduel)

Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell ended the regular season with a decent .255 average after starting the season in July due to injury.

Ryan Mountcastle (3500 on DraftKings, 2800 on Fanduel)

Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle ended the regular season with a six-game hit streak. Like the rest of the O's lineup, he will look to regain momentum as they square up against the Royals at home.
