Best Free MLB DFS Picks Today: SP Bobby Miller, LAD

While he may not be the biggest name pitching today, Dodgers starter Bobby Miller will need to have a strong performance to help LA bounce back from the disaster of Game 1. Can he do it?

Miller has strong numbers against the Arizona Diamondbacks roster, holding them to a combined .239 batting average, allowing just one home run, three doubles, and four RBIs. Plus the Dodgers won Miller’s previous two starts against Arizona (both games were in August).

For those playing DFS, Miller might not be your first thought in the starting pitcher slot, but he might be the best option as the #2 SP given his history against the D’backs.  

We like Miller as one of our best free MLB DFS picks today. Look to get him in any salary cap or draft contests that you’re playing today.

Best Free MLB DFS Picks Today: SS Trea Turner, PHI

Ever since the ovation from Philly fans late in the regular season, Trea Turner has been the All-Star/superstar the Philadelphia front office thought it was signing this past offseason.

And, as the Phils fight even closer to an NLCS, Turner has the opportunity to become a Philadelphia folk hero if he can deliver in big moments. Monday might provide a few with the Phillies.

While he’s been pleasing Phillies fans with hits in big moments, Turner can also make you very happy if you include him as one of your best free MLB DFS picks today.

In his career, Turner has faced Max Fried quite a lot – going 14-for-35 (.400 average) with a home run, two doubles, and two RBIs. The only issue is Turner’s high number of strikeouts, 7, in his ABs against Fried. That doesn’t concern us too much, given how hot Turner’s been of late.

Speaking of which, Turner has a 7-game hitting streak entering Game 2 against the Braves and he has 4 stolen bases in his last three games. Turner is a spark plug for the Philadelphia offense and should be at the center of the action – for fantasy owners willing to pay an expensive price for the infielder.

Best Free MLB DFS Picks Today: OF Nick Castellanos, PHI

The Phillies’ right-handed outfielder hasn’t been the hottest hitter in the Philly lineup since the postseason started, but Monday could be his day to really breakthrough.

In his career against Braves southpaw starter Max Fried, Castellanos is 8-for-13 (.615 batting average) with a home run, a double, two RBIs, and only one strikeout.

Plus, Castellanos was one of the best hitters against left-handed pitching this season. He is hitting .324, has 8 home runs, and has 33 RBIs (tied for 9th most in MLB). 

With a great hitting history against Fried and the benefit of the right-lefty matchup has us believing Nick Castellanos is a player worth starting in a DFS lineup on Monday.
