MLB Daily Fantasy Primer: Tuesday (8/17)

Tonight’s main slate features all 30 teams on DraftKings and 28 — eliminating the seven-inning doubleheader contest between the Red Sox and Yankees — teams on FanDuel. It’s a slate packed with high-upside offenses, a game at Great American Ball Park, another at Coors Field, and ample pitching selections at various salaries.

I'm not crazy about him on FanDuel. Yet, his small salary makes him a tantalizing SP2 on DraftKings.
