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.

Willson Contreras Reclaiming Elite Catcher Status In 2020

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras is off to a torrid start in 2020, having mashed a 167 OPS+ in his first 13 games. The addition of the designated hitter in the National League has been a boon for his production as he has already served as the DH three times this year, giving him extra […]
