DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/5/21): MLB DFS Lineups

charlie blackmon fantasy baseball rankings draft sleepers outfield MLB DFS lineup picks

Happy Thursday gang! Hope you all have had a great week so far. We have a nice 5-game slate this afternoon, with no outstanding weather issues. So let's get after it today. 

We're looking at a Coors slate here, and despite Antonio Senzatela being better at Coors than on the road, because we're able to fit in so many Coors guys on the slate while still having the top two pitchers on the slate, I plan on doing exactly that. I have a total of five guys playing in Coors in my lineup, so let's get right to it.

This article will provide you with my daily fantasy baseball lineup picks for DraftKings on 8/5/2021. The lineup will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays. You can also check out today's FanDuel MLB DFS lineup picks and read more DFS advice and lineup picks for other sports too. It’s also important to monitor injury news and today's MLB starting lineups. If you have any questions or comments, contact me on Twitter.
