FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (8/10/20): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We kick start a new week with nine games on the main slate for FanDuel. That leaves us with a very high-salary pitcher (Patrick Corbin $10,800) and some middle-tier arms. It's always nice to have more high-upside options, but we can still grab Dustin May or Kyle Gibson to anchor our teams. I could go […]
