Daily Fantasy MLB Picks for Saturday, 6/17/17

This Saturday I am doing something a little different with my DFS picks. I have been working with some great baseball minds to create a DFS equation that predicts a players value for a certain day. What you are about to see is not the finished product by an means, but it should give DFS players a new way to be able to predict a player’s value. At the moment the equation tries to predict the amount of points a batter will have against the probable starter per plate appearance, but we will continue to work on getting you guys a finished equation for pitchers and batters as soon as possible.

With that being said, Saturday’s main slate of games does not look that promising so I decided to play the early slate of games. I decided to go with Zack Godley as my pitcher, but Chase Anderson looks to also be a great option going up against a struggling Padres lineup on Saturday. Michael Fulmer is also an interesting option on Saturday as he goes up against a strikeout prone Rays lineup that features a lot of power bats. Now let us jump into my picks for Saturday.
